I preach this lettuce to everyone, but this year has been almost comical. I grew a crow of it in a bed last winter that I harvested until December and then I planned to grow it in another bed this spring. It was slow to germinate in our cold April, so I ended up sowing it a second time. And that was a mistake because as soon as it got warm, they all took off. Even the winter patch, and I don’t know if the plants re-emerged or grew from seed, but I was so over-run with lettuce, I ended up donated about 40 bags to the various food pantries around. It must be wind-borne as well, because there was a small pile of hay in my driveway from my daughters horses, and I had lettuce sprout up there! I tried to transplant those ones but they didn’t like their new home. I was still kind of blown away that it just came up there. I also had it coming up in my garlic bed, which was the lettuce bed two years ago, so it seems to have gone a little rogue, but I admire its resilience, that’s what our crops need. I’m about to plant some more for a fall crop.

The perfect yellow tomato
Last year I wanted a yellow medium sized tomato so I took a chance on the TAXI tomato. I purchased the package at the seedy saturday event in Bridgewater. I have never had such thick supportive stalks and more fruit than anyone could possible need. There were more than enough tomatoes for my family and those pesky deer that moved in to the area. I did end up creating a cage so to keep the deer out. I am thrilled to order the seeds and plant again this year. Thanks , Marlene.
Never been disappointed
I have been buying seeds from you for four or five years and have
never been disappointed. Thank you!
Best Seeds
Last year was my first at an attempt to gardening so I ordered seeds from various companies to test out. Yonder Hill seeds produced the best veggies by far, prefect and beautiful and so delicious! Can’t wait to get my new order in now that I’ve found a trusted seed company!!
foolproof
I am a lazy and neglectful gardener and Yonder Hill seeds turn into plants that thrive despite me. It’s amazing!!
Yonder Hill seeds grow delicious and satisfying harvests!
I only dabbled at gardening until two years ago when I felt the urge to get serious about it. The seeds that I have gotten from Yonder Hill have resulted in very satisfying bumper crops of delicious vegetables. Even though I’m figuring things out as I go along and making tons of mistakes, I am still being rewarded with high germination rates, robust plants and high productivity. Plus, everything tastes SOOOOO good. Yonder Hill clearly select their varieties for flavour and only grow the very best. I especially recommend their butternut squash (sweet with a creamy texture) and their Amish Paste tomatoes (which make thick and rich tomato sauce and tomato paste). All of the seeds I’ve gotten from Yonder Hill have exceeded my expectations and have been forgiving of my inexperience. Working with Yonder Hill’s seeds has been an important part of me feeling encouraged to continue gardening, and that is a great gift. Thank you!!! (I’m attaching a picture of a small fraction of my Amish Paste Tomato harvest.
My newest ‘goto’ place for seeds
I came across the website for Yonder Hill Farm just browsing the internet in my timely search for pimento seeds. This pepper was new to me and I wanted to try growing it to add as a flavour to recipes that have recently caught my eye. I cannot speak highly enough of their willingness to answer questions about growing. I certainly appreciated the expertise imparted and knowledge that was shared. I ordered not just the sweet pimento seeds but also decided on the Napoleon green pepper seeds. Ordering was quick and delivery was fast. The seeds did not disappoint. All that I planted germinated rather quickly and the yield is already amazing. Exceptional customer service! I highly recommend Yonder Hill Farm and plan to be a returning customer.
Seeds and other things
I have to say thank you for the great seeds that I got for my garden of vegetables. I never lost one, they all grew. The service to get them to me was prompt. Then I asked about asparagus and between myself and Yonder Hill, we tried something with Yonder Hill sending me Asparagus Crowns through the mail. It was a trial thing to see how they would do. EVERY CROWN grew. I had some set aside for someone else but they never got them and even after two weeks kept in the fridge they ALL grew. I have asked many questions as well and always get an answer so that helps a lot too.
Thank you Yonder Hill Farm, you are much appreciated!!!!!
I grow my own botanicals
I grow my own botanicals and additives (calendula, spinach etc) for my soaps, and this year I opted for locally grown and harvested seed from Yonder Hill Farm, a stone’s throw away. And by golly – I should have done this all along! Yonder Hill Seeds did not disappoint, the germination rate was the best I have ever experienced. Their calendula blooms are stunning, and the amount of seeds per package was fantastic. These folks know seeds, they are all you’ll ever need for your gardens.
Brazilian Snow Peas
We’ve had a mostly sunless summer with temps in low to mid-50s. We planted Dwarf Gray, and Yonder Hill’s ‘Brazilian Snow’ peas. Today, we harvested both peas with the Brazilian Snow producing a mature and robust harvest. Thank you Yonder Hill for carrying Brazilian Snow peas. Would like to buy again.
