I've been ordering seeds from Everwilde Farms for a few years (maybe 4 or 5 years) and have only positive experiences to report. There is never a problem with any aspect of the process. In addition I have always received higher than normal germination rates from their seeds. This company is in my 5 top go-to places when I need seeds and I recommend it without reservation.
I received large healthy daylily fans. Plants were carefully packed and arrived in great shape.
I received great plants from their 50% off fall sale. Daylilies with multiple fans arrived in great shape and have done well.
I received healthy multiple fans with great roots and a lovely bonus plant. Excellent customer service along with quality plants at good prices.
Offers a wide array of growing supplies and media for those who like to make their own mixes. Fantastic customer service, with emails answered quickly and products shipped promptly.
Great selection, superior service, high quality plants and impeccable shipping-- Absolutely recommend!
This vendor is a reliable grower and stands behind their irises. They are great communicators and make sure their customers are happy. I am always pleased with the percentage of first year bloom I get on irises I buy from them. They are talented iris hybridizers and are generous with bonus irises when you buy from them.
Received 10 more original (with thorns) boysenberry plants today as I'm supplementing the thornless variety. They had masses of roots and many plant spikes starting. Since I ordered them delivered earlier than they can be planted, I put them in the largest planter I have, and covered the roots with potting soil. Everything I've ordered from peacefulvalley.com has been excellent quality
The CANNON – Adjustable Hose Nozzle Gun I'm in love with this hose nozzle, which has 10 settings, from a mist to high power pressure nozzle. I bought mine from amazon.com a bit cheaper. It has solved 2 issues for me: replacing hose nozzles that leak and crack and having a pressure washer for cleaning. If I could just find a hose that isn't either too heavy or kinks, I would be thrilled. From the site: •LEAK PROOF: 3 Washers ( Set of 2 on Inside Body + 1 on Bottom Barrel) makes it 100% Leak Proof •UNBREAKABLE: Inner Barrel is made of a single piece (as opposed to 2 or 3 pieces for other nozzles) that makes the nozzle absolutely “unbreakable” •SOLID BRASS NOZZLE: Heavy-Duty construction that will last for your lifetime •STAINLESS IRON TRIGGER & PAINTED CAST IRON BODY: Heavy-Duty construction that will last for your lifetime •MULTIPLE (10) PATTERNS: Flexible and Adjustable from a fine mist, to a moderate spray, to a super powerful jet stream (Rotating from Left to Right) •ROCKET POWER: Awesome pressure and force, contained in a small body •CONSISTENT FLOW & SHUT-OFF: Uniform water flow in all positions & ability to completely shut water off •LIFETIME QUALITY GUARANTEE:Hassle Free “Return & Replace” Policy for Life On Amazon, search for B00LH7NB06
