"I don’t have a green thumb, but these lettuce seeds were super easy to grow! I just grew in my standard outdoor garden, and soon enough we had incredibly fresh, crisp lettuce. Bibb lettuce is one of my faves, which made it even better!"
"I love Bibb lettuce, it is my absolute favorite and these seeds were great and so easy to grow! So fresh and yummy and you get a lot of product as well!"
"Lettuce germinated well. Rather than harvesting all at once, I like to harvest leaves as needed— plants have done really well and are still producing well into October in my area (6a)."
"Users grew pretty quickly the packaging kept the seeds together and there were a lot of seeds in the pack the growing process was straight forward and didn’t retire much fuss"
"I received these organic Bibb lettuce seeds complimentary from Ferry-Morse and Influenster in exchange for my honest review. The seeds arrived safely in their securely closed packet, and I was able to easily plant them and was happy to see them successfully germinate! Love being able to enjoy fresh organic food straight from my garden!"
"This was a replacement because I did not receive my original ones so I am posting because I just received them and deadline is looming. I am planting these today! Seeds are in good shape and there are plenty to have several containers. They are not dried out or damaged in any way and go into the soil fine. I can’t wait to see them sprout! Customer service was wonderful and I will purchase in the future. I would recommend this brand and product."
"The packet arrived quickly. It's a very visually appealing packet. The seeds appeared to be in good shape. At this time, I only have a few sprouts coming up, so I can't really comment on the taste, texture, etc. at this time. I'm enjoying watching the spouts grow and anticipate having some tasty fresh salads in the near future."
"These were a great addition to my garden! The germination rate was good, and they grew very quickly. They're great for lettuce wraps, but the best thing was that my turtle really likes eating it. The packaging was also very secure. None of the seeds slipped out in transit."
"These seeds produced some amazing lettuce!!! It was easy to grow! The taste is better than any store bought lettuce. The freshness can’t be beat! Instructions on how to plant were super clear as well!"
"As an avid gardener, I was PSYCHED to get these seeds! They sprouted nicely, and quite easily (making this perfect for a newbie gardener). Also really like that they're certified organic, giving me peace of mind when adding to my well established garden. Can't wait to watch these grow and soon become a delicious summer salad!"
