Soggy Creek Seed Co. Review

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Yan at Soggy Creek Seed Co. They are starting up a new seed business and he offered me a sample of their seeds. Quoting their website, Soggy Creek Seed Co. sells heirloom seeds and other wonderful things from the gardens of Piebird. Piebird is their vegetarian bed & breakfast in Nipissing Village, Ontario, Canada. A look through their pages will present the reader with many lovely photos and lots of good information.

They have taken a rather fun approach to renaming the heirloom seed with stories to go along. Below is a copy of the front and back of the seeds I received. It is nice to see another take on the rather mundane pack of seed. Check 'Em Out:

  1. No idea if the seeds are any good - but the packets are sure entertaining! I like the beet eating/kissing booth goat! What a hoot!

  2. KitsapFG - They do list the variety name at the bottom. amarillo carrot, early jersey wakefield cabbage, bull's blood beet & purple plum radish. Love to see the mark a goats kiss leaves :-)

  3. Forget the kissing booth, I gotta do something about these crop circles! Looks like I'll be planting some Purple Plum radishes this year! :) What a fantastic idea! My hats are off to the designers! (Be sure to tell us how the seeds do, too.)

  9. Bicycling carrots? lol Those seed packs are awesome. I hope they germinate as well as they fascinate.

  10. These creative descriptions are cracking me up! I wouldn't mind starting my own kissing booth business with a goat or two.
