Fantastic service from these guys in Wilderness. Seedsforafrica is constantly out of stock so I had to find another wheatgrass seed supplier. Ordered 2 days ago, delivered today and it's cheaper.

Have you tried www.seedsforafrica.co.za/ ?
All my seeds from them have germinated. High success rate, even from the free ones they sometimes add to your order.

Tossed out my seed collection as none are viable incl the livingseeds I bought recently. Starting fresh with seedsforafrica.
Planted 104 seeds of 44 types. Let’s see what I get right this time.

I can see myself as a gentleman farmer one day…Quite a selection you have there. If it all grows you'll be able to open a greengrocer.

You are going to have to plan your beds and quantities carefully but that is a very nice selection.
