E&R Seeds - Got my Catalog today!!

WOOO! Planning time!!!

Anyone every use them?

I ordered from E&R two years ago, and did a "gamble" I thought of getting live plants shipped, and holy cow. They were better than the flats at the nursery, and more variety. It's a Mennonite company, no website, answering service only, but plain awesome stuff.

They have the BEST canning tomatoes I've ever found - their heirloom "Amish Paste" ones, which get bigger than regular tomatoes and are almost all flesh, little water or seed. I get the started plants, and they run about $0.60 each, and shipping is very, very reasonable.

They also have a lot of organic and heirloom seeds and plants. Definately recommend checking them out- they do have email to order a catalog

I can't wait for spring!!!

They don't have a website, but they do have an answering service and email (that apparently a non-Mennonite answers). Email is eandrseed@yahoo.com, phone is 866-510-3337. I emailed them a couple years ago for the catalog, and they send it regularly, along with their summer and fall catalogs (which have other supplies and cool stuff.)

Forgot - they also do bulk seed and organic bulk seed too

For fun I counted - they offer over 200 varieties of tomatoes - red slicers,  yellow slicers, roma and saladette, cherry and grap, red, orange, yellow, black, green and other color heirlooms and standard varieties.  All the seeds have good descriptions - a colored note if they offer it in started plants, organic, treated seed, and many of the desciptions have a picture too

Also, sometimes it's hard to manually calculate the shipping or whatnot, so they return your order slip with the shipment, with all the prices calculated. Last time I just tacked on a few dollars to my order, and my shipment arrived with a little pack of dollars and change I've heard of people sending a blank check, and they fill it out properly. Makes it very simple and they are very trustworthy.
