    Poppy Seeds - Double Mixed

    Eden Brothers was prompt and honest in all the transactions I have had with them. I am not a very good flower gardener, even though I grew up in rural NC where we had a huge vegetable garden each year. I ordered and planted poppy seeds and cilantro, and another herb, I think. My wife and I are both disabled and on fixed income, and I wanted to do this for her. The poppyies came up, and flourished up to about 1 foot tall or so. I may have over fertilized, watered improperly, or perhaps it's our poor, sandy soil. I also planted some in potting soil and pots, but I unintentionally killed them all before they could bloom, lol. However, I don't blame Eden Brothers, as at least 90% came up, even after I had them in cold storage for over a year. I will order products from them again without hesitation. I highly recommend this fine and established business. Sincerely, Mike Williams, Oak Island, NC.
