A Week In The Life Of
A Seed Company

Over the next seven days, we will look at a week in the life of a seed company in the United States. Most seed companies buy seed from the same farmers for many of their seeds. Some companies grow some of their own but due to limited space, they cannot grow many. If they did, there would be a lot of cross-pollination.

Have you ever wondered where those little packets of seeds you buy online or in stores actually come from? Well, let me take you on a fascinating journey through a seed company, David's Garden Seeds® and how it works from day to day. This will help you understand the many steps involved before those seeds end up in your garden.

To start with, it's important to know that seed companies don't grow all their seeds themselves. They rely a lot on farmers who specialize in growing seeds. You might wonder, do farmers grow seeds specifically for these companies? Yes, they absolutely do! Farmers grow seeds under contract with the seed companies, ensuring a diverse range of high-quality seeds for you.

Let's dive into what these seed companies actually do. From overseeing seed production to distribution, every day brings unique challenges and tasks. A week in the life of a seed company is divided into seven parts, each playing a crucial role in getting seeds to customers.

A Week In The Life Of A Seed Company -
1/20-1/26/2025

Monday, January 20, 2025

Good morning and Happy Inauguration Day! Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! It is 6:30am and 24° here in Rossville, Texas. I don't even want to think about having to go outside and feed all of the animals! Those poor babies out there in the cold...Matt is not here so it will have to be me.

I woke up starving. David had already made coffee and I toasted a bagel to go with it. The weather forecast says we will have a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain starting around 6pm today and finishing up around noon tomorrow. I am so glad that I am no longer working at my insurance job in San Antonio because I would have had to go in today.

So this week, we are talking about a week in the life of a seed company, namely our seed company, David's Garden Seeds®. This week is not typical because I decided we should be closed today to see the Inauguration of President Donald Trump. I have looked forward to this day for a long time.

David is over at the business already. He got up around 4:30am to prepare for the helpers coming in today to pack much needed seeds. The seed packs are flying off the shelves this month, a bit earlier than last year.

This morning, I have printed out more orders that came in since yesterday afternoon when I last printed them out. David has printed out a large stack of Amazon orders.

Seed Sale

We have well over 1,000 heirloom seed varieties on sale today!

Today is the final day of our current seed sale so take advantage of it. All of our single packs of seeds are on sale until midnight Central Standard Time. They are 20% off. You can find them here at David's Garden Seeds®.

I watched the morning unfold on TV. I cheered during the inauguration and I loved the speech! This was the finest inaugural speech I have ever heard.

"The Golden Age of America begins right now!" -- Donald Trump

Yes! What a way to start a new presidency. Trump signed a lot of executive orders this afternoon, including freeing all of the January 6, 2021 prisoners--around 1500 people who did nothing wrong.

Wormwood Seeds

Meanwhile, early this morning, some woman has sent us seven messages because she feels we are running a scam. She ordered wormwood seeds and received them from us. She wants her money back because the seeds are tiny. Again, because the seeds are tiny, she thinks we are scamming her. Are you serious, lady?

We sent her a pack of 100 wormwood seeds. We mail these out all the time to customers but this is the first time we got accused of scamming because God made wormwood seeds tiny.

Just because she is not pleased with the size of the seeds, I really don't think God is going to change the size of them to please her. We don't make the seeds. God made wormwood and when he did, it pleased him to have the plants make tiny seeds. Any complaints, talk to God about it. Can you imagine??? Complaints about some of the strangest things are part of what a seed company, or any business for that matter, has to endure.

It is now almost 3pm. It is 36° and the low tonight should be 27°. There is a 40% chance of snow at 6pm. That is crazy. We all know it will shut the towns down around here. When we had five days of snow back in February of 2021, no one around here had water or electricity for days on end. We did because we had a generator. No one came to work for that entire week because they would not drive on icy roads and I cannot blame them. Texans are just not equipped for winter weather.

The freeze dried lemons can be ground up into lemon powder or I can drop a slice in a hot cup of tea.

This was my first time to freeze dry apples and they make a nice snack like this.

I took everything out of the freeze dryer this morning. It all came out so good.Of course, I tasted everything. Even the lemon peel was edible and tasted very lemony.

The ice cream sandwiches are pretty tasty and crunchy.

The sleet started in the early afternoon. Matt got here around 3:30pm and winterized the coops with the plastic that was rolled up all year long. Nacho and his crew left about the same time after spending the day stuffing seed packs with seeds that had already been counted last week.

I made a taco meal including guacamole for dinner and it was delicious.

When I let the dogs out at 10:30pm, I stepped out onto the side deck and it was coated with ice. It was then that I realized everything would be shut down tomorrow.

A Week In The Life Of A Seed Company

Our first look at a week in the life of a seed company shows a big part of the week revolves around sourcing seeds. This is where seed companies establish connections with farms. Seeds come from farms which are owned by farmers, and these farmers are the unsung heroes who cultivate the seeds to meet the company's standards.

An important aspect of this process is the contracts with farmers. Seed companies contract with farmers who have the right land and conditions to grow specific seeds. This helps ensure that each seed variety is grown under the best possible conditions for maximum yield and quality.

Why wouldn't the seed companies just grow them all themselves, you ask? Well, it's a bit complicated. Seed companies can't own massive lands because they risk the problem of cross-pollination.

You see, if you grow several varieties of a plant too close together, they can cross-pollinate. Cross-pollination is when pollen from one flower fertilizes another flower from a different variety, leading to seeds that might not be true to type.

This is crucial because mixed seeds might not give you the plants you're expecting! Imagine planting what you think is a certain type of tomato, only for it to turn out quite different.

For instance, David's Garden Seeds® grows different seeds each year that we sell. We have just eight acres so there is no way we could grow over 1,000 different plant varieties ourselves. Seed companies buy from other seed companies and they contract with local farmers to grow seed. Remember, farmers grow things. Seed companies pack seed and ship them out or sell to customers in their store. They don't have time to do a lot of farming and provide seeds. There are not enough hours in a day to do it all.

Yet customers come into the store asking me all the time if we grow every seed here on our tiny farm. No, I always tell them. We couldn't. We only have eight acres. No seed company can do that with all of their seeds. No seed company grows all of their own seeds. Farmers do most of the growing. There is just not enough time in a day for seed companies to do everything there is to do and farm a thousand or more seed varieties, too.

Tuesday, January 21, 2025

A shot of our back deck through the window at 6am. Yes, there is some snow.

You can see some snow on the back deck and on the ground through the window at 6am. Lots of ice.

Good morning. It is 6am and 27°. There is some snow and lots of ice on the ground. It is supposed to snow more right now. Everyone is still asleep but I woke up hungry so here I am. Matt stayed the night so he would be here for work. I have the San Antonio TV news on and there are lots of wrecks all over the city. We will have to salt the walkways and stairs so we don't fall.

Flights out of San Antonio have been canceled as well as most schools for the day. Pretty much everything is shut down. I am sure that our other employee will not be coming to work today and I do not want her to risk her life to do so. I told her that on Friday. I was always expected to go to work when I lived in San Antonio when there was bad weather but I am not that kind of employer.

The news is showing that East Texas is getting lots of snow. Glad it is not us. The weather report shows that we are pretty much done with it.

Here is our snowy parking lot this morning.

Snow in our driveway

Matt came in from feeding the animals a little after 7am. I made French toast and eggs and David made bacon so we had a great start to a cold day. Our seed counter called in which was no surprise seeing how icy everything is. We don't want her to risk her life for the business.

It is now time to go out and mail a bunch of orders. We are open today if you care to stop by later. Stay safe. Stay home.

It was a busy day. I pulled orders, shipped orders, put away boxes and boxes of seeds, and did a whole lot more. David was out in Fulfillment as well working on orders and organization. Matt worked hard over in Production. Nacho showed up alone at noon and he worked until 8pm.

It warmed up to 43° today and tonight it is supposed to get down to 20°. Much of the ice melted but there is still some in certain places. I salted most of the steps down today.

All in all, it was not a good day.

A Week In The Life Of A Seed Company

David, the founder and CEO of our company is working on the computer in Fulfillment. He has spent the past week rearranging seed storage to make room for a lot of new seeds.

The second part of a look at a week in the life of a seed company revolves around quality assurance. Before any seeds are sent out, they undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet the required standards.

Testing involves germination tests, which check how many seeds will sprout if you plant them. It's like giving the seeds a little exam to test their readiness. In our company, David himself checks germination rates if he suspects a problem.

Seed companies also test for purity, making sure there are no unwanted seeds mixed in. This ensures that when you plant your pumpkin seeds, all you get is pumpkins, not a surprise mix!

It's interesting how much work goes into ensuring the quality of these tiny seeds, isn't it? The attention to detail is all about providing you, the gardener, with the best possible start.

Here at David's Garden Seeds®, most of our seeds have about an 80% germination rate. A few have a 60% germination rate. The germination rate for every single seed we show is in the listing on our website.

The seeds we sell have a great germination rate.

Wednesday, January 22, 2025

I woke up this morning at 4:25am and could not get back to sleep. I finally got up at 5am and went to the living room. I turned on the fireplace, made a cup of coffee, and sat down on the couch to read. Everyone was asleep so it was great. When I say everyone, let me clarify--David, Kitty, Sue Ellen, Pamela, and Trump. Matt went back to his own home last night.

So at 6:30am, David got up and I asked Alexa what the temperature was. It was 18°! Total insanity!

At 7am, I got a text from Matt saying he was here taking care of the animals. Then Nacho arrived shortly thereafter with a bag of breakfast tacos. They were good.

I have been in my office working on finding a new social media scheduler. So far, they are all hard to use. I used to use a pretty good one and then their prices went sky high so I dropped it.

I hope everyone is here today because there is so much to do. I do not want to go outside at all but I know I have to.

Well, everyone was here. There were six of us today and we all worked hard. I mailed out a ton of orders. Surprisingly, David pulled a ton of orders instead of staying in his office. Matt printed envelopes. Angelica counted seeds all day. Nacho and his team member stuffed and scooped all day. Everyone stayed until 6pm. David and I worked until 6:30pm. Then I had to go in and make dinner.

A Week In The Life Of A Seed Company

A row of vegetable seed storage in Fulfillment. This is where seeds stay until we ship them out to our customers. They don't stay here for long.

Another everyday job during a week in the life of a seed company has to do with sorting and packaging. This is where the magic happens, turning seeds from bulk batches into the neat and tidy packets you find on store shelves.

Imagine a factory floor with different machines and conveyor belts. Each type of seed requires a specific method for measuring, sorting, and packaging to ensure accuracy and consistency.

There's something satisfying about the way seeds are counted out into individual packets. Each packet is then labeled, providing important information like the variety, planting instructions, and best-before dates.

I would like to say that here at David's Garden Seeds®, we deal with counting and packing seeds every single day, Monday through Friday. We also print our own envelopes right here on the premises.

Some seed companies send seeds out to other countries to be counted and packed into envelopes printed in that other country. I am not sure how, but this is done to save money for the seed companies.

We print all of our envelopes right here on the farm.

Thursday, January 23, 2025

What a pretty sunrise.

It got down to 28° at 5am. Now at 6:30am, it is 32°. Matt is already here, feeding animals. I did not know he was here but I got a text from him telling me. He does not have to be here until 8am. I really appreciate his willingness to help with everything. David is making breakfast and I fed the indoor animals. It will be another busy day but Nacho will not be here.

We started working early. Then David and Matt went for father/son makeovers again. Now they are back with burgers for all of us for lunch. I have been working hard.

By the time the mailman got here today, there was more but his SUV is only so big...Yes, the big boxes are orders.

In the afternoon, I went over to Production to find some new seeds that were being counted, packed, and put together for orders. I found some of what I needed but not all.

We had two ladies visit us this afternoon in the Farm Store to buy spring seeds. We had a good visit and they got lots of good seeds on sale. Right now, we are running a 13% off of single pack seeds when you buy three or more. The coffee is on sale for 10% off. The trays are on sale for 5% off. They are the first in store customers we have had all week.

Meanwhile, David continued to reorganize seed bins in Fulfillment. He finished the vegetable section and is now almost done with the flower section. We have added a lot of new seeds, including the herbs. Hopefully, he will be finished by the end of the week. Then we will have to reorganize the Farm Store.

It got a bit warmer today (56°) but it will be 22° Fahrenheit in the morning. We need to turn the heaters back on in our greenhouses this evening.

Matt grilled some good ribeyes tonight. David made homemade fries. I made corn on the cob and macaroni and cheese for Matt. Matt hates potatoes (who knows why) so I try to make something else when he stays for dinner and we are having a potato dish. We watched Hell's Kitchen tonight while we ate.

Tomorrow is Matt's birthday. I need to wrap his birthday gifts tonight and prepare for tomorrow. We will be taking him out to eat lunch at Triple C. He works hard for us and deserves it.

A Week In The Life Of A Seed Company

Nacho and 2 of his team members put seeds in envelopes to help us out. Good help is so hard to find out here in the country. No one wants to come to work and earn money.

Next up in a week in the life of a seed company is inventory management, a key part of how seed companies operate. This ensures there's always a stock of various seed types ready to pack and ship immediately upon receiving orders.

Inventory teams constantly keep track of which seeds are moving fast and which ones need restocking. A sudden spike in demand or a delay from a farm can turn this into quite the juggling act!

Through careful coordination, they make sure that there are always enough seeds in reserve, so gardeners aren't left waiting for their seeds to arrive.

Here at David's Garden Seeds®, we just took seed inventory last week. David has orders for many seeds that we don't have enough of. He is also ordering a lot of new seeds, flowers, vegetables, and herbs.

Another thing we do during a week in the life of a seed company because we live on a farm is grow a garden, sometimes a rather large garden. We have lots of raised garden beds to grow a good deal of plants. Some of the plants are used to grow seed to sell. Other plants grow our food.

Friday, January 24, 2025

Good morning. It is 27° out there! David had a harrowing experience in the night that I slept through. The side gate was ajar instead of being properly latched. David let the dogs out around 2am. He opened the door to let them in a little while later and discovered the gate was wide open. The dogs were gone!

He went to the front door and called them. They came running from the opposite part of the property, where there is no fence. Apparently, they were heading to the open road but, thankfully, they came running as a pack, all three of them to David. That gate appeared to be latched because they did not escape last night when they were out at 10am.

Matthew flying a drone in warmer weather back in the orchard.

Today is Matthew's birthday. We will be taking him to lunch so the Farm Store will be closed from 11am until about 2pm. I know it won't take long but you never know...It will just be the four of us this time. Then we will come back to the farm and have ice cream cake in the cold weather. Go figure...

I have fed the dogs and David said he is having Matt pick up breakfast for us. We have about five million eggs but he wants breakfast from somewhere else...Lol!

Did I mention that all of a sudden at least four of the chickens that lay brown eggs are laying again? Yesterday, there were four brown eggs, seven blue eggs and 13 white eggs. Just a month ago, I was getting two to six eggs a day and none were brown. It is so interesting, isn't it? Apparently, they are really enjoying the cool weather.

I think I have found the right social media post scheduler. I have been trying it out for the past three days. I finally figured it out and it seems much easier than the ones I have been trying out. It costs less and it is easier to use so I think this will be the one.

Safe Seed Pledge Is Now
The Seed Integrity Pledge
For Safe Seeds

We signed the Seed Integrity Pledge so you know you can trust us for the best seeds, always safe, and never GMO!

About eight or nine years ago, we took the Safe Seed Pledge and I wrote an article about it on David's Garden Seeds®. Recently, we received an invitation to sign the new Seed Integrity Pledge For Safe Seeds, which is the updated version. We signed that back in November of 2024. Yesterday on Instagram, I was tagged in the post above on there.

You do need to be careful because now there are GMO seeds available for purchase to the average consumer. In fact, one reputable seed company had them for sale just last year. They claimed they did not know but the company that created the GMO seeds has a different story. You can read about it here.

The wait staff sang to Matt.

Opening gifts. Happy birthday, Matthew!

A selfie and our guests at Triple C.

We took Matt to lunch at Triple C. None of Matt's friends could make it. Apparently, they will be taking Matt out later on this weekend. Joining us were Angelica and her parents, and four friends from church. We ate. Matt opened his gifts.

We had ice cream cake back at the farm. It was a delicious cookies and cream ice cream cake that Matt apparently dropped and bounced all over Walmart early this morning. He says it was too cold for his hands so it jumped out and flipped over several times while he tried to bat it around, trying to catch it. It finally landed on the floor, in one piece, still in its container! It looked perfect before we cut it and I failed to get a photo.

Here it is, almost 4:30pm and I am still working on orders.

Matt is geared up to go visit the bees today.

The bees in both hives are alive and well. Matt fed them and they were having a great time.

About an hour ago, Matt went out back and checked on the bees. I thought maybe they had frozen to death in the cold but they are fine. He fed them and put the hives back together. It should start to get a bit warmer after tomorrow. The morning temperature will be 29° per Alexa.

A Week In The Life Of A Seed Company

There are always many seeds to count. We can't provide seeds to our customers until they are first counted. This is part of every day in the life of a seed company.

Marketing and sales discussions happen every day during the week in the life of a seed company. These include planning promotions, engaging with customers, and developing new product lines to keep gardeners excited about what's on offer.

Seed companies often collaborate with experts to write guides and tips, helping gardeners make the most of their products. After all, growing a successful plant from seed is hugely rewarding and they want you to succeed!

They might even run an online community or newsletter to share success stories or to showcase new seed varieties. Engaging with customers is a spice that adds flavor to their workweek.

Here at David's Garden Seeds®, David and I write our own gardening articles for our two websites. You are reading one of the websites now and the other is our flagship website, David's Garden Seeds®. David and I both write our own newsletters. We are a small company so we also do our own marketing and sales. I do most of the social media for the company but David does some as well.

We create new products throughout the year. Most of the time, those new products are seed sets. For instance, David just created a brand new seed set called The Top Ten Easiest Vegetables To Grow From Seed. Right now, I am in the process of creating a new seed set to repel rodents.

Saturday, January 25, 2025

Good morning. It is 31° out there. I got a cup of coffee and am in my office in silence because everyone else is still asleep. These moments are rare. I have been working on some social media posts for this weekend. I am liking this new scheduler.

David is almost finished reorganizing the seeds. It makes it so much easier to find the seeds for orders. Of course, there are still a lot of new seeds that have not yet been counted and packed. No one will be here to do that work today or tomorrow.

Amazingly, there are still some plants out in the garden that are alive. Our ornamental kale, our red bluebonnets, and the calendula, all of which I planted in the fall, are alive and well.

We have been heating the plants in the greenhouses to keep them alive during this cold front. According to the weather reports, we will not experience anymore freezing temperatures for the next two weeks. Granted, the lows will be in the 40s and 50s and it will feel cold, but the daytime temps will be mostly in the 60s and 70s.

Just a few minutes after I wrote the above, I started feeling so bad. I grabbed my trash can and tossed my cookies, right here in the office. Then I went back to bed and was sick for the next eight hours. I slept off and on until 3pm. I had some dry toast and hot tea and I was able to hold that down.

I never got out to take care of the outdoor animals. David called Matt over and he took care of all of the animals and then he covered the Saturday store shift. It is a good thing he did. That store doorbell went off constantly for four hours. Matt entertained quite a few customers and made a lot of sales. I believe he set a record for the number of sales on a Saturday in January! How fortunate are we to have such a wonderful son?! He wasn't even upset that we ruined his Saturday off.

By 5pm, I felt much better and showered. I put on my jammies and moved to the couch in the den where we watched Jaws 1. We had not seen that in years and it was fun. By then, I was feeling pretty good, just a bit tired. What a day! I managed to fall asleep several times during the movie and David and Matt woke me up each time so I wouldn't miss it. Lol!

A Week In The Life Of A Seed Company

Time to open the Farm Store. Yes, that is my shadow on the doors. This happens six days a week in the life of our seed company.

The Farm Store is painted green and has a sign that says "Farm Store" to make it a little easier to find the store among the buildings of this seed company.

Now, it's time to talk about a week in the life of a seed company, namely David's Garden Seeds® again. Today's topic is order fulfillment and shipping. Once an order is placed, a seed company springs into action to get the seeds packed and sent to your doorstep as swiftly as possible.

First, we print out all of the orders. Then someone pulls all of the seeds for each order. This involves picking out the correct seed packets and checking for accuracy. Then someone packs them up into a box or an envelope, weighs the package and buys the correct amount of postage on the computer. It's great to see how this well-oiled machine ensures that you're getting exactly what you ordered!

We do make mistakes from time to time but correct them as soon as we hear about them.

Depending on the time of year, the spring planting season can be a hectic period. During peak planting seasons, seed companies can ship thousands of orders every day. It's all about keeping the process smooth and efficient.

David's Garden Seeds® sells on two platforms--Amazon and our website. David oversees printing the Amazon orders and shipping labels. The rest of us pull the orders and mail them out to our customers. We no longer sell on Amazon Prime because the fees became outrageous.

I am in charge of printing out the website orders. Sometimes I have help pulling the orders and then I double check them and ship them out. Most of the time, I pull the orders and ship them out after checking them again. Yes, we make mistakes, just like every other seed company does.

Orders are filled six days a week at David's Garden Seeds. They are printed seven days a week to keep it all manageable.

Another thing that we do here during a week in the life of a seed company is invite customers to come to the farm. We have classes, tours, and a Farm Store where customers can buy seeds, farm fresh eggs, pecan coffee, Texas rice with no chemicals, planting trays, starter pots, germination mix, germination kits, rabbit manure, and pecan treats.

Sunday, January 26, 2025

Good morning. I slept very well. My intent was to stay home today but I felt great, ate breakfast, and went out to take care of the animals. They are all fine and after feeding all of them, I realized that I was just fine so I got dressed for church. We went and had a nice time. We stopped at McDonald's and picked up lunch so I wouldn't have to cook. I had a sink that was full of dishes. The low was 56° which is just wonderful compared to what we've been getting.

David went out and checked the water pipes out back. Even though we turned the well off and drained the pipes, some of them broke so we have to haul water out to the animals. We have been doing that all week. I was hoping that we could turn the well on today but we can't.

I need to haul more water out to them this afternoon and refill all of the water dishes for them.

I took a load of laundry out of the dryer, put a load in the dryer and started another load. I got the dishes done, filled up some jugs to take out to the animals and I made more sugar water for the bees since all of the flowers are now deader than doornails.

I will also be chopping up fruit and getting it in the freeze dryer this afternoon, mostly the rest of the lemons from my trees. The first batch came out really good so I will try some oranges as well.

There are many more chores on the agenda since I missed out on doing them yesterday. There are a ton of orders to fill and mail out but I will wait until tomorrow to do those.

Well, it was a good day. I changed sheets, got laundry done, chopped up lemons, oranges, and bananas and put them into the freeze dryer. I packed five dozen eggs for the Farm Store. I fed and put away the animals, hauled out more water to them, collected eggs, washed them and put them away. I played with the Trumpster puppy and fed the indoor animals. I unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher.

I made a delicious gourmet meal (haha) for dinner--hot dogs and baked beans and they were so good! It was so warm today but the wind is a bit chilly. It got up to 69° this afternoon. The low in the morning is supposed to be 50°.

Now, I need to finish this page up for the week and start on the one for tomorrow. Usually, I do the main articles ahead of time but I did not find the time to do it this past week with all of the orders we have been getting in.

A Week In The Life Of A Seed Company

We print our own seed envelopes right here on the farm. We are not a seed company that ships seeds overseas to be packed and stuffed.

We print our own seed envelopes right here on the farm. We hope you have learned a lot during a week in the life of a seed company.

As a week in the life of a seed company wraps up, seed companies turn their focus to feedback and continuous improvement. Your experience matters to them, and they seek to make it better each time they send out a packet of seeds. We receive phone calls, emails, messages, letters, and visits from customers who have purchased our seeds every week.

We gather feedback from customers like you to understand what's working and what could be improved. Were the seeds easy to plant? Did they grow well? Your answers help shape their future.

The company reviews this feedback to identify areas for improvement, whether it's in packaging, customer service, or even in developing new varieties to meet gardener's needs.

There you have it for a week in the life of a seed company! From farm to packet, this is the life cycle of seeds before they reach your hands. It includes many dedicated people working behind the scenes to bring the best gardening experiences to you.

The journey of making those packets of seeds is much more complex than it appears, balancing nature, science, and customer service.

Next time you're browsing through a seed catalog or standing in the seed aisle, you'll have a deeper appreciation for all the work that goes into something so small, yet so crucial.

Remember, you're not just buying seeds; you're buying into a network of partnerships, from farmers who grow the seeds with care to the seed company that curates them for your garden.

Each packet is a promise of potential waiting to be unlocked by you in your garden. The seed company has done its part, and now it's your turn to bring that promise to life.

Thanks for taking the time to learn about a week in the life of a seed company, specifically, our seed company, David's Garden Seeds®, and how it works from day to day. Happy gardening, and may your seeds germinate and flourish!
