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:
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!
ReplyDeleteKitsapFG - 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 :-)
ReplyDeleteForget 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.)
ReplyDeleteThe seed packs are so cool... :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Dan for posting this! Folks, if ordering from us at Soggy Creek be sure to mention you found us from the Urban Veggie Garden Blog and we'll send a free pack of seeds!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun and original packaging ! I love it !
ReplyDelete(Had a peek at the Piebird site. Oh man, what a lovely setting and magnificient garden they have ! *sigh*)
Fun packaging. Very original. Now I know how to keep those pesky crop circles at bay. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery neat seed packets there! I would have to frame a few for my garden shed...
ReplyDeleteBicycling carrots? lol Those seed packs are awesome. I hope they germinate as well as they fascinate.
ReplyDeleteThese creative descriptions are cracking me up! I wouldn't mind starting my own kissing booth business with a goat or two.
