    Wow very impressive Luke! While watching the guy throw seeds in each packet, I was like WOW! I would’ve had seeds everywhere except the packet 🤣 I’m anxiously waiting to order soon 🌱🌱🌱

    I've been ordering seeds from you for the past 2 yrs, since we moved to the country. Never disappointed with the seeds. I ALWAYS get a bumper crop of delicious food. Daniel Arms from ARMS FAMILY HOMESTEAD, is the one who got me hooked on your seeds..

    I have been buying seeds since 2015 and may still have a few packets in storage. Thank you for the tour and explaining how you do the great job of getting the seeds processed. I look forward to "Launch Day" while remembering those early Launch Days when we (thousands of gardners) used to crash the old MIGardner seed store website. May God continue to bless you and the business.

    Luke, it's been so awesome to see you and your team grow big! My family absolutely loves the business culture you've adopted, which is why we support you here in PA. Not only thinking about the customers but your above and beyond consideration for your team around you speaks dividends of you as a leader. God Bless and looking forward to the 2023 garden season!!

    You have stayed true to all the things you envisioned in the beginning of your channel. I love that you support small farmers. You employ and thus support families. Your business is successful because you have good business practices and transparency. I’m proud to have been one of the followers from the beginning. I knew you would grow and be successful!! I also appreciate that you keep it simple and affordable for us consumers to be able to grow heirloom seeds with really good germination! I’m really proud of how Mrs Mi gardener and yourself have made the world a better place.

    The new building looks great, thank you for the look inside seed packing. I wish I could watch the launch when it happens but I teach, so can’t watch it until I get home. I always miss out on the giveaways but I already have my wish list ready. Thank you for all the information and encouragement to other gardeners and those just beginning.

    It made me happy to see the Canadian flag 🇨🇦 as well! I imagine that a lot of customers are Canadian where Michigan shares the border with Canada. The free shipping to Canada with minimum purchase helps! I'm Canadian and I get seeds from MIGardener twice a year. Once at the new launch and once at the end of season 50% off sale.

  • @paulvrahiotes3406

  • @icouldjustscream
    @icouldjustscream Год назад +1

    I ordered some seeds during the 50% off sale a couple months ago. I like to order a few things I wouldn't normally buy when they are on sale. I tried 2 varieties of sunflower this spring and they were gorgeous! I find even (most) seeds a few years old have a good germination rate. This spring I found a forgotten bag of pole beans (scarlet runner) I harvested in 2018. I thought 'what the heck' and sowed 10 of them. 8 grew into beautiful tall plants and the hummingbirds loved the flowers! I work November 21st but will see what's new for 2023 after work!

Thanks so much for sharing how you source your seeds ( 7:20 ) it really means a lot to me that you use small farms.

    I guess I missed out on the seed for the giant tomatoes you brought back from extinction, but I did ask to be notified, so hopefully I will be able to get some next year. You have done well, Grasshopper!

    I love this!!! As a seed saver and a Tinkerer, I love hearing about where and who you get the seeds from AND how they are packaged and stored.
    I’m ecstatic at how you have evolved from a kid who loved to garden, to creating a whole business doing something you love.
    You may not think of this Luke and Sindy, but since we know a lot about you guys, you have become like family to a lot of us. I just love watching how you’ve grown and how successful you’ve become. It makes us so proud to be your “friends”. I’m happy to support you guys ❌⭕️♥️
    God bless and keep you both. Happy thanksgiving 🦃

    I recommend MIGardener to anyone who mentions seeds or a garden. Twice this season, mistakes have been made with my orders. The first one was an extra pack of seeds that I didn't order. I called and tried to pay for them. I got a " thank you for your honesty", but never got charged. Next, I ordered some garlic. At the time it was shipped, my mailbox had been ran over. The post office held the garlic without notifying me. By the time I searched it out, they had returned it to MIGardener. MIGardener refunded the money even though they weren't at fault. I called again and explained what had happened and wanted them to recharge my card. They wouldn't do it. I'm kinda old and these are the nicest group of people I've ever done business with!! Please, buy all your garden needs from Luke. Love from Mississippi!!!
