This Just In!!!
I ordered something from Pinetree Garden Seeds two weeks ago. It was something very simple that could be sent in an envelope. I haven’t received it yet, so I called the company.
The woman on the phone was nice but she sounded tired. I asked her about my order. She said they haven’t gotten to that day yet, meaning the day two weeks ago that I placed my order. In other words, they are more than two weeks behind filling orders.
I asked if things were busier than they normally are at this time of year. She said business is up 30% from last year. She said they just hired nine new people and they are working longer hours.
Clearly, a lot more people in America are taking gardening seriously.
If you have not yet ordered your seeds for this year, I suggest you do so soon.
Got five packs of seeds this week from Park. All the rest I will buy locally. The ones I ordered from Park are not available locally.

Man, that can really throw you off when you are trying to meet the schedule set by nature! Thanks for the heads-up.
ReplyDeleteDear Herrick, I ordered my seeds from Pinetree in early december, and they still took about three weeks or more to deliver.I really like Pinetree Seeds,although I have noticed some changes that have not been for the better.Where do you get most of your seed from? I cant wait for Spring!!!
