    I’m a huge lavender fan so I would be over the moon fir the Lavender Hidcote Dwarf Seeds. Although I must say I was drooling over all he organic seeds too!

  2. Audrey says

    I would totally love to get the Basic Bounty Veggie Garden Seed Collection. It’s just about clean out the garden (except the Kale!!) time here so I am already thinking about what to plant next year. Weee!

  4. allison says

    I found your website about a week ago via pinterest, we’ve just started a fall garden as a homeschool project, I have all the kids joining in the work and fun, and they would love, love the multi colored carrots, or corn. Thanks for sharing the website, I’ll def be back in the spring 🙂

  6. Amy N says

    Brightest Brilliant Rainbow Quinoa, it’s been sitting in my cart waiting for my next big seed order! 🙂

  7. Sarah Wills says

    My favorite is Arugula Wild Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds – I’ve GOT to give them a try – I am an arugula fan and not seen these seeds before 🙂

    LOVE the artwork – WOW – I could stare at those packets all day – in fact if I win I am going to make a framed collage of the empty packets in my garden shed for some cool art 🙂

  9. Cynthia says

    I love the Clemson Spineless Okra packets! Beautiful ornamental plants with a the added bonus of fantastic okra!!

  11. Danielle says

    I would choose the Painted Hill Sweet Corn, I havn’t seen seeds like this before. Thanks for the giveaway and chance to win!

  13. Chela says

    The Carrot Callipoe seeds look awesome but since I have a hard enough time keeping the kids out of the carrots maybe I should keep looking. I did get their seed catalog a few weeks ago. So much fun to browse through.

  14. Anne says

    OK, I saw the Lime Basil – I’ve never heard of that before! Lemon, yes; lime, no. We love adding a little lime in just about anything.

  15. Anissa says

    Tomato Cherry Rainbow Blend Seeds – my kids would be in heaven! They would never make it inside for me to cook with but that is ok!

  16. sena c says

    It would be great to start artichokes from seeds….I like the green and purple artichoke heirlooms. Could frame the seed packets when you are finished…way to upcycle!

  17. Tracy J says

    My kids and I would be in gardening heaven! They eat so much more veggies now that they’re growing it themselves! WOOT WOOT Mavis, you rule!!

  19. Zoe says

    Swiss Chard! I think it’s so pretty (but I can’t stand the taste!).

    I just entered to win a $25 gift card to a local seed company at our local fair. I hope I win one of these giveaways so I can restock my seed box!

  20. Sheila M. says

    I liked the article on cover crops…very informative. After reading that article, my pick is Cover Crop Soil Builder Peas/Oats Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds.

  21. Sarah says

    I like the new Bean Bush Calypso (which I received in the mail this past week!) and the Lakota Squash (which I ALSO purchased last week)
    awesome seeds- Thanks for the giveaway Mavis!

  23. Gina says

    Oh dear, so hard to choose a favorite! I do want to try the Cover Crop/Soil Builder (Peas/Oats Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds). And I love the herbs, so I would have to choose the Collection! 🙂 And I want to try growing sprouts, so the sandwich mix seems the best for my household. Plus the flowers!! Well it seems only logical to order 1 of every packet & save all the illustrations from them.

  27. Rae @ Two Hands says

    The winter squash definitely have my interest! The buttercup ones, specifically. Thanks for hosting this- So glad I found you just as my husband and I are talking about our (also puget sound area) garden for next year!

  29. kelly says

    Right now mine is the soil builder peas/oats(cover crop) because it not only feed my soil, it feeds my family too!!!

  30. Casey says

    I think the Melon Canary Tweety Seeds would be my favorite. My kids love fruit can’t get enough of it in this house.

  32. Sarita Criswell says

    I love the Catnip Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds. Mostly because I love the cat on the design and it is one of my favorite teas!

  33. Kelli says

    The black seeded simpson! I love that lettuce & grow it every year. Heat tolerant, tasty, not bitter, not too limp or crunchy garden workhorse!

  34. Kelly Allen says

    Pumpkin Jarrahdale Seeds.. My favorite seed packet. So cute with the white pumpkins though I didn’t have any success growing them year, there is always next year!

  36. Amanda says

    I just got their catalog in the mail and am excited to try the quinoa seeds! I didn’t realize you could grow quinoa in your backyard.

  40. Ginny says

    I would like to try the Bean Bush Contender Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds,
    Phaseolus vulgaris. I would love to do some canning and make spicy beans!

  42. Dawn says

    I love the Lettuce Mesclun Valentine Organic Seeds. My rabbits and I are exciting the weather is cooling down enough to grow lettuce again.

  43. Jamie says

    I would love to try the Aunt Ruby’s German Green tomato seeds. I’ve really been wanting to try a green heirloom tomato.

  46. amy says

    Love the look of the Watermelon Crimson Sweet HEIRLOOM Seeds packet. Never been too successful with watermelon yet, so maybe just fantasizing…
    Anyway, we’d LOVE to win!
    Thanks for sharing gifts from your boyfriend! 🙂

  48. Katie says

    My favorite is actually a collection “container garden packet collection ” because I had no idea I could grow all of what is in the collection in containers! They also have a “fast food collection”!

  50. Dawn A. says

    My husband is a huge beet fan, so the beet gourmet packet caught my eye right away. I also like the pretty Viola King Henry seeds. Great give away! Thank you,

  55. lori f says

    The painted sweet corn seeds are awesome. I’ve never heard of them before but I think the kids would love them.

  57. Erin says

    I think the Carrot Tonda di Parigi HEIRLOOM Seeds would be so fun for my daughter, but I was actually really amazed at the selection. I’ve never tried growing very much from seed, but as I’m looking for more natural options for my garden I think I’m ready to give it a go.

  59. Nina says

    My pick is something that I’m definitely going to try next year . . . the Sweet REBA Acorn Squash! It says it is resistant to powdery mildew, early, and doesn’t take up much space. It is going on my seed wish list for 2013.

  61. Rachele says

    I just bought my cover crops from Botanical Interests. My favorite packet is the Buckwheat. So helpful and easy to grow!

  62. Brandie says

    I love the Heirloom Tomato Seed Collection, Rutabaga american purple top, watermelon sugar baby…ahh heck I love them all! Thanks for the giveaway!

  64. Kelsi says

    I like the Butternut Squash one, it’s one of my favorite types of squash plus the design on teh winter waltham butternut seeds package is cool

  69. Carolyne Thrasher says

    My garden this year was a bust. I started thinking about next years a few months ago when it became apparent that this year wasn’t going to amount to much. Tomato Pole San Marzano Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds from Botanical Interests was already on my must order list. I am planning to place an order with them and with Territorial.

  70. Colleen says

    Hard to choose just one, but I have recently fallen in love with Calendula. The packet for the Calendula Zeolights is lovely. 🙂

  71. suzanne says

    I can’t decide between the cumin, vegetable spaghetti squash or the sugar baby watermelon. I’d like to grow that in my greenhouse this next summer.

  72. jess h says

    I love the swiss chard bright lights because swiss chard is my new favorite vegetable!! But after seeing your supersweet cherrt tomatoes, might have to order them for next year!! 🙂
    Thanks fo the chance to win!

  73. Faith says

    I would like to try their fast food seed collection! I think it would be a great way to start gardening!

  74. Jen J says

    I like the Tomato-Bush-Better-Bush-Seeds. Tomatoes are always fun (and fairly easy) to grow and you can do so much with them. So sad we’ll be dependent upon hot house/grocery store tomatoes until next year.

  76. Melinda D says

    I’ve been interested in purple basil ever since I first saw it so I would have to go with the Basil Purple Petra Organic Seeds!

  78. Laura says

    it is impossible to choose one! however, the Lakota variety of winter squash looks almost alien. very cool!

  79. Cyntha says

    I saw Swiss Chard at a local garden. How beautiful! Since I’m craving some of my own, at the moment, I will say Swiss Chard Five Color Silverbeet Organic Seeds. It’s really hard to chose. What a sweet giveaway. Thank-you!

  83. Emily says

    wow – I feel overwhelmed, but am really intrigued by the Bean Bush Royal Burgundy Organic Seeds. The picture is so lovely!

  84. Stefanie says

    I just LOVE the artwork on the seed packets, I’m dying to try the heirloom carrots! Thanks for the great giveaway!

  85. Kara says

    I had a hard time picking out just one but the carrot calliope blend would have to be a first pick for me. I bookmarked the site in anticipation of this spring!

  86. Robin Welch says

    Corn Sweet Sugar baby is on my list for next year and here is the reason why…”No GMOs – we enthusiastically signed the SAFE SEED PLEDGE: We do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants.” Robin in So Cal

  89. Elizabeth says

    I love the kale from Botanical Interests! It grows so easily over the winters here in Southern Nevada and provides a lovely fresh garden goodie when there normally isn’t any.

  90. Vivian says

    I am hoping for seeds…………I have begun to get my grandkids involved in growing veggies, and educating them on what GMO vs Heirloom seeds are……………you guys are a Godsend!!!!

  91. Alicia Damschen says

    What?!? They make Purple Peppers? My girls would be soooo excited to see these growing in the garden. Pepper Sweet Purple Beauty Seeds look super cool.

  96. Christine Treece says

    So hard to choose but I’m on a cabbage kick so I’d love to try Cabbage Copenhagen Market HEIRLOOM . . . yum!

    Thanks! 🙂

  98. Jennifer O says

    Our local favorite feed store (Wabash in Houston) has a Botanical Interests seed wall and it is sooo cool! My husband has to drag me away because “we have enough seeds.” Yeah right, like you can ever have enough seeds!

    Oh but to pick just one?

    I’m going to pick American Purple Top Rutabaga because I think rutabagas are a forgotten vegetable! They are so tasty and yet I can never find them at the store here. I also had some bad luck with seed potatoes this Fall (squirrels, dogs, and rotting!), so I think my defunct potato garden would be better served as a rutabaga garden.

  101. Amanda H says

    The organic Danvers carrots – we grew carrots for the first time this year and they far exceeded our expectations for tastiness and grow-y-ness (that ought to be a word). The Danvers ones are supposed to grow well even in tough soil, which is definitely what we have.

  102. Mona says

    It is pretty hard to choose just one favorite. It would probably be the CA wonder pepper though. Any of the tomatoes, the flat Italy onion and the eggplant are also some of the veggies I would love in my garden. Thanks so much for this opportunity. You have inspired me to pick up the pace on next years garden. I may even start weighing all I grow. 🙂

  111. Carin says

    I liked the Gourd Hard-Shelled Corsican Heirloom Seeds. Makes me want to plant some and see what I can make!

  114. Katie B. says

    I love all the seeds and their artwork. But, if I had to chose……the Carnival Carrots. Love all the colors. Makes you want to eat REAL food!

  116. Erin Kerbs says

    I love the Bean Bush Royal Burgundy Organic Seeds. My mom used to grow purple beans that turned green when she cooked them. We called them magic beans. 🙂

  117. Ashley says

    You’ve inspired me with your pumpkins- the French Cinderella Heirloom Pumpkin seeds look great 🙂

  121. Melissa says

    Oh my goodness! I might have just found a new favorite seed site! Thank you!

    Also, I have been dying to break out of my orange carrot rut and the Carrot Calliope Blend looks perfect!

    Thank you for taking so much of your time to help us all get better deals! 🙂

  122. Carrie says

    I can’t just pick one – i love gardening just like you. My squash didn’t do well this year but the tomatoes were great. What I love about there site is all the organic choices and that just rocks.

  124. Beth says

    Thanks to one of your previous posts I had already purchased some seeds from Botanical Interests but now I think I need to order the Kale Redbor…..hope I win!! Thanks for another great giveaway Mavis!

  128. Jess says

    Carrot Calliope Blend! My son already loves carrots, but purple carrots? Yellow carrots? He would be beside himself!

  130. randi says

    I love the Onion Ringmaster Seeds! I feel like a Ringmaster sometimes with work, kids, hubby etc.
    Plus I love me a good onion!!

  135. Susan says

    I am intrigued by the Carrot Tonda di Parigi. I am going to grow these next year. I love how cute they look and wouldn’t require deep planting beds….

  140. Mary says

    I want to try the kale italian lacinato nero organic seeds. Kale is my favorite green and I can’t wait to plant some this fall.

  147. Susan Robinson says

    My favorite will be the Lizzano cherry tomatoes. I just got their catalog today and I’ve read it cover to cover. OH! I hope I win!!!

  148. Kelly says

    I really love the Pepper Sweet Purple Beauty Seeds. I can’t believe they have purple peppers! How fun! My fiance and I got the okay to start a garden next year at our rental, and I’m so excited. Glad I found your blog.

  149. cyndi v says

    My Oh My…I say that my favorite packet of seeds would be the morning glories. And diff the tomato packets.

  150. Veronica says

    I think the Lettuce Mesclun Gourmet Baby Greens Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds wins, but I had no idea lettuce could be any other color than shades of green! Red Romaine! WOW!

  151. Diane says

    Right this moment, my fave is the Bean Pole Blue Lake Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds, because my Kentucky Wonder pole beans are being pissy this year – one big harvest early on, and since then only dribs and drabs. The description of the Blue Lakes contained the magic words to soothe my soul: “very heavy yields.”

  152. Vanessa says

    The Artichoke Green and Purple Heirloom seeds sound amazing… I’ve always wanted to try to grow artichokes!

  153. Mary F says

    I would like to try some of their herbs and I thought the baby vegetable seed collection would be cool. I so enjoy your blog. Keep up the great work.

  154. Lauren says

    OMG. I want them ALL. Is it spring yet?!!! I am intrigued by amarath and corn salad — I may need to order some seeds and give them a try!

    Thanks!

  155. Julia says

    I like their little italian onions. If I were to buy a seed collection, I would be torn between the Chef’s Herb Garden and the Fast Food collection.

  159. Teresa Yb. says

    I pick Bean Bush Blue Lake 274 Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds because bean seeds are easy to save. Then I could have nice beans forever.

  161. Becca Anne says

    The sweet california peppers look fun! Didn’t realize the difference in color was maturity. Learn something new everyday from you Mavis.
    & they can grow in pots. Big fan of that!

  163. Diana R.Smith says

    With the drought we had here in MO and replanting somethings three times I could use some seeds. Just got your catalog in the mail and so happy to see Vinca seeds. More people should try them…only thing that bloomed all thru the summer of no rain”.

  165. Preppy Pink Crocodile says

    How fun! One day I will grow purple heirloom artichokes. I just think they are sooo pretty. And I believe in pretty food!

    KK

  168. Christy D. says

    If I MUST choose only one, then it’s the Mesclun Chef’s Gourmet Spicy Mix (lettuce). I’m becoming a big fan of “fancy” lettuce and not just spinach & romaine. That fancy schmancy giveaway has a BUNCH of likely canidates for my fall lettuce experience…… 🙂

  169. Heather T. says

    I like the cooks collection its a nice variety of yummy foods/spices to have for the kitchen garden.

  171. Robyn says

    I found Botanical Interest on your website this summer. After clicking their link from your site, I ordered all my fall planting seed from them! I love the Aunt Ruby’s German Green tomatoes. I can’t plant these until spring but I’m looking foward to heirlooms in the spring! Blessings!

  173. Susan Adams says

    My favorite is the Bright Lights blend Swiss Chard because I grow it every year and it is consistently delicious and beautiful! I love Botanical Interests because they are also local to me here in Colorado!!

  174. Monique Toro says

    The Lakota Squash looks amazing! Your boyfriend Ryan is just dreamy though, must be a rule for all Ryan’s. I think the winner should get the packets from him though 🙂

  176. TXShell says

    I would love to try Lettuce Butterhead Marvel of Four Seasons Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds. This year had some wonderful volunteer lettuce from last year’s crop.

  177. Warren says

    Micro Greens Sunflower Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds. I never thought about eating sunflower greens. Sounds great and thank-you.

  178. Carla says

    Really can’t choose just one-I’d love to try some of the heirloom tomatoes, a couple different types of beans but really I think I’d just love to look at the artwork on all those little packets.

  180. Anne L says

    Next year Cinderella Pumpkins will have to make a showing in our garden. My daughter will go nuts about that!

  184. francie says

    I have been trying to get a green thumb for 20 years! The late summer sowing Vegetable seed collection sounded interesting to me. Great prices at Botanical interests.

  185. Melissa W. says

    My kiddo would probably love the carrots … however, kale is a new favorite of mine!!! What a great giveaway … we will be having our first full garden next spring … I can’t wait!!! 🙂

  186. Veronica Bautista says

    I would love to donate those seeds for my daughter’s school. Every seed packet is an artwork

  188. Sherle says

    There are so many choices and it is extremely difficult to choose only one. I have a list of the ones I would like to buy but the one for today is the “Squash Winter Delicata Honeyboat Organic Seeds.” It looks and sounds so very yummy!!

  189. Lynda says

    My favorite packet would be the Large Heirloom Packet of Fairy Meadow Seeds. Lovely packet…and awesome flowers. I’m known for my vegetable gardening…but last year I started to ramp up the flowers…for my bees…so a Meadow of Fairy Flowers sounds awesome.

    P.S. Let your bf, Ryan know I’d love to see a PayPal button next to the credit card buttons!

  193. Lynn says

    I love their seeds…in addition ~ the packages are so pretty. I just looked through my seed packets and found that I have an UNOPENED package of Botanical Interests Super Sugar Snap pea seeds…how did I miss planting those? Maybe at the time I thought the package was too pretty to open…who knows what I was thinking!

  196. Brenda says

    I’m eyeing the Spinach Bloomsdale Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds. I’m really enjoying The Walking Dead and this spinach reminds me of brains, a zombie specialty. Gross I know but it’s what caught my eye as well as the yummy looking tomatoes. All of them, I can’t choose!

  197. Anne says

    My current Botanical Interests favorites are the Peas and Oats Soil Builder seeds. I have planted these in two of my raised beds as an over-winter cover crop. I love their website, and I agree that the artwork is awesome!!!

    Thanks,
    ~Anne

  199. Catherine B. says

    I would love to try the Chamomile German Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds. I could make my own tea blends! Why didn’t I think of this before….

  201. Christa says

    ok, i think i am loving the buckwheat seeds for a cover crop. i have never seen these available before. plus, i read about their article on cover crops. heard about cover crops, didnt know much about them. thanks botanical interests seed!

  202. Monica says

    Love your blog. Making my way thru old posts. I like the okra Clemson spineless. Thanks for the inspiration!

  205. Lisa says

    I’m torn…my favorite may be the Beet Gourmet Blend (OMG do I love Beets!) or any of the kale seeds. I can never find kale around here, but we are a kale loving family!

  206. Jennifer says

    I love the Winter Waltham Butternut Squash because you have totally got me thinking about squash. Would love to win. Thanks, Mavis! Jennifer in IA

  207. Nicole says

    I just ordered the garlic sampler pack of 6! So excited for harvest next summer. Next spring we are really starting our full garden & would love some help with the seeds!

  209. Kathy says

    Cinderella pumpkins, calliope carrots and a spinich other then Tyree that I have to try. Planning to order some garlic today!

  210. Jenna says

    Squash Winter Waltham Butternut Seeds. Keeps for a long time and is hard veggie, but versatile in just about any dish.

  212. Chris B. says

    Purslane! I was very excited to see purslane, an edible food that actually grows wild all over the place (at least here in Michigan it does). Another great thing to add to your salad.

  213. Cristie says

    It’s not my favorite veggie but I love the art for the Bok Choy, it has such texture and depth. It’s just beautiful.

  215. Ayisha says

    Tomato Cherry Rainbow Blend Seeds look fantastic. My daughter would be in heavan. She eats tomatoes like other kids eat candy! Thanks for the giveaway!

  216. maggiewann says

    I see Bells of Ireland! I really want to get those growing in my flower garden. Beautiful designs.

  217. Regan C. says

    Because of your newsletter 🙂 I had already been to the Botanical Interests website and ordered Kale, Swiss Chard, and Bok Choy seeds to start a fall garden for the first time, and I also ordered three kinds of garlic that I”m looking forward to planting this fall. So thanks for the info! It gets me motivated to try new things.

  219. Jennifer says

    Because of your blog, I have checked into their website and the next big garden thing I want to try is garlic it seems so simple! I love how you do so much with your little space, I have way more space but cant seem to do half of what you are but I am just starting step by step. My husband was thrilled when I told him we were tripling the size of my garden next year so he could prepare it! lol. I love gardening so much though, and you are a huge inpiration!

  220. Talaena says

    Gonna have to say the Bok Choy White Stem HEIRLOOM Seeds. I love Bok Choy and its a total bonus that they are heirloom!

  221. michael says

    My favorite seeds from the Botanical Intrests site are the Heirloom Luffa Gourds. Dry them and fill/cover with handmade soap and they are great in the shower or bath. Makes a great winter time project and is a swell gift for any friend or family member.

    Keep up the awesome blog!

    Michael…

  222. Andrea W says

    The Calliope Carrot blend looks really cool. But the Lakota squash is the one I had to call my husband over to see!

  223. Angela O'Dell says

    The Carrot Callope blend! Carrots are my new favorite crop to grow. Looking forward to trying out your carrot cake jam recipe too!

  224. Denise says

    I like what the Baby Vegetables Seed Collection has to offer….a little bit of everything and some things I’ve never heard of like Summer Baby Round Zucchini, which I’d like to try sometime.

  225. Nikki Haas says

    I’m so excited to try Kale Redbor Seeds from botanical interest.. I’ve never grown red kale before!

  226. Carol W says

    This is hard, everything is fabulous and I’d love to explore some of the garlic but honestly the peas/oats cover crop intrigues me the most. I’ve never used a cover crop but it seems like a brilliant way to go.

  228. Amy D says

    Wow your popular Mavis, so many follower – it is so cool you’re willing to share your knowledge, wit and frugality. I love strawberries and so do my kiddos. We are buying land with gardening possibilities and this win would be super cool to start our gardening adventure.

  229. Heather Dreith says

    All the seed packets have gorgeous artwork, but I was impressed that they have Tatume (calabacita) squash, which I’ve been reading about lately. Looks like I’ll need to order some seeds and give it a try.

  230. Delilah says

    Squash Summer Baby Round Zucchini HEIRLOOM Seeds because round zucchini would be great for soups, deserts, and all by themselves.

  231. Kim says

    I always like the royal burgundy beans. Mavis you rock and since Ryan loves you so much over at botantical interests (and you buy alot of seeds) they should name a variety of something after you.

  233. Carol Ann says

    So many to choose from but my fav is Broccoli Raab Rapini, because I can hear my sister’s father-in-law saying in his thick Italian accent, “Dyoo wanna some rapini? Issa good forra you!” And it’s great sauteed with garlic in a little olive oil. Delicioso!

  235. Mary Whitten says

    Mavis, I am way down in central Florida and just love your website. I grow organic as best I can fighting the bugs down here with garlic and ivory soap spray. It has been a hot summer and I want to start my garden as soon as it cools off. I have lettuce and spinach seeds sprouting on the porch. I would love any organic seeds that will grown down here.

  236. Sue says

    I’m really liking the Marvel of Four Seasons Butterhead Lettuce. Butterheads are my favorite so tender and this just looks scrumptious!

  239. Mimi says

    So many! But I love the description (and art) of the Cucumber Lemon Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds! Eats like an apple?! Looks like a lemon?! must try…
    Thanks for the contest!

  240. Brandy W. says

    Butterhead lettuce – looks delicious. I love me some lettuce 🙂
    Love your site – your name is mentioned a lot in our house! Thanks for all the great info!!

  241. Connie Reeder says

    Hi Mavis,

    I love the Botanical website! The pictures are amazing and I can see why you like them so much. My favorites are Spinach Bordeaux, Basil Purple Petra, Carrots Calliope Blend, Corn Sweet Golden Bantam and Chamomile German Heirloom. I plan to plant them all!

    With Jesus’ Sweet Love,

    Con-

  242. Heidi says

    I like the Rainbow of Vegetables Seed Collection. Great way to get a variety of colorful veggies. There seed packet artwork is so beautiful I wish I could frame them 🙂

  244. Holly Reed says

    My favoirite right now is The carnival Carrot blend. Probably because my seeds just spouted in my garden a few weeks ago and yesterday I found someone had chewed them down to nothing, ACK!

  245. Nichole Frerichs says

    My favorite is

    Bean Pole Trionfo Violetto HEIRLOOM Seeds. These would be so fun to grow in my garden next year!

    Thank you for the giveaway! Love your blog! 🙂

  249. Angela says

    I like the Bean Bush Royal Burgundy Seeds; they would be so
    pretty in the garden and easy to see to pick!

    I love all the diffrent heirloom varieties. I thought there could only be 1 and it turns out there can be many…who knoe? guess i will be picking up several varieties of heirloom carrots and pumpkins and tomatoes….

  251. Michelle says

    The Royal Burgandy Bush Beans really look interesting and fun! I”d like to add that to my garden for the added splash of color.

  252. Tracy says

    I really liked tthe large selection of seed collections. They have gone to the trouble of putting collections together for you whether container gardening or basic bounty collection. I use their flower seeds this summer. My favorite seed is their Strawberry fields flower. Looks just like little strawberries in your bouquet!

  255. Bernice says

    What a tough decision. I think though that as far as artwork goes, I would choose the marigolds. As far as eating goes, I would choose the bush beans. Great contest! Thank you for doing it!

    I would love to try to organic sunflower micro greens seeds. I love that you have something to eat in 5-12 days…no delayed gratification. 🙂

  257. Karin says

    my favorite is the broccoli romanesco. I tried romanesco for the first time last year. It’s so good! Everyone should try it!

  258. Michelle says

    I’m definitely interested in the beet gourmet variety seeds. I would love to grow some golden beets next year!

    I’d have to pick the Cucumber Spacemaster seeds– we love our cucumbers in this house but I don’t love the vines taking over everything else in my garden. For some reason, I never remember to give my cucumber vines enough space when I plant them.

  260. Donna says

    I love Carrot Baby Little Finger Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds. My favorite carrots to grow. They’re so sweet we eat them in the garden.

  263. Kat says

    Just found out how awesome pickled brussels sprouts are – so I’d go with those so I could pickle a bunch next year 🙂

  265. Amanda says

    Those are the prettiest seed packets I have ever seen. I think I would go with the Melon canary Tweety seeds but the pumpkin little October seeds are a close second!

  267. Michelle O. says

    I have been thinking about trying to grow my own herbs next year. I know this is such a simple thing for some people but I’m just starting to grow food and for some reason I’m a little intimidated by herbs! I would love to try the organic basil and the organic chives from Botanical Interests 🙂

  268. HollyG says

    I’m claiming “teacher rules”. I can’t pick a favorite because they all have so much potential. I do really love the varieties of sinter squash – maybe it’s the season.

  269. Diana says

    The Organic Basil Purple Petra looks like it would be really fun to cook with! I love the deep rich color of the leaves.

  270. Kate says

    Alright… My mind is on garlic right now, but my three year old just devoured an entire muskmelon/cantelope from the farmers market. So maybe I need to plant some Hale’s Best next year to satisfy the little bugger. 😉

  271. Megan Peeples says

    Cherry Rainbow blend seeds. About to start my first garden. Would love some seeds to start out!

  273. Nancy Risch says

    I think either the winter squash or the colorful carrots would be my favorites, but I’d love to win the packets you’re giving away too!

  274. Lori says

    Choose one, almost impossible…but the Basil purple Petra organic seeds look and are scrumptious. And you can never do with enough purple in your life, right? ; )

  276. Jessica Hawk says

    The bee collection!! Since we do have a ground hive in the ba k section of our veggie garden this collection would be perfect to keep the bees!!!

  280. Mari says

    I would love to try their delicata honeyboat squash. I love delicata but I always buy the same variety so it would be good to branch out at least a little.

  283. Jessica says

    My 7 year old daughter is eating so many more wonderful foods now that we are growing our own food. I am so excited for everything we will be trying next year. Thank you so much for all you info and recipes!

  284. Cary says

    ONE type?! You want us to pick just one? I had to leave the website before I bought one of everything. But I do love violas, and I’m trying to use more heirloom varieties, so I’ll have to go with the Johnny-Jump-Up Heirloom Violas. For now…

  285. harper says

    I’m not sure it’s possible to pick just one, but I really love my purple carrots, so Cosmic Purple Carrots, it is!

  286. Melody Rudenko says

    I like the look of the heirloom pink banana winter squash. Always love a good looking squash:)

  287. Rocki says

    I’m gonna say Cover Crop Soil Builder Peas/Oats Organic Heirloom Seeds. I have horrible soil and amended it this year with compost but it’s still in really bad shape. I’m going to plant a cover crop and will be planting some of my garden beds with the seeds listed above and the rest of my beds with red clover and see if this will help.

  288. Sarah says

    I love the ‘Bring Home The Butterflies’ seeds. I hope it’s okay that it’s not an edible? There’s probably some nastertium or sunflower in there, right??? Okay, well, here’s hoping I win – those pretty seed packets would make for some nice collage art too 😉

  290. Karen says

    I love their escarole! Escarole Broadleaf Batavian HEIRLOOM Seeds – I did really well growing these – and I’d be remiss if I didn’t say I love their escarole graphic too! Mine didn’t look quite that lush, but came close!

  291. ann says

    my favorite is the cucumber home made pickles (organic) seeds. Because the idea of growing cucumbers and making home made pickles tickles my fancy bone. =)

  293. Kathy H says

    Tomatoes, tomatoes… I love them!!! I would go for the supersweet cherry tomatoes. I little burst of sweet wholesomeness….a little balsamic vinegar…. mmmmmmmm!!! And, their prices are great!!! Be especially blessed, Kathy
