I don't have much experience with
Fedco but I've had freinds that have repeatedly had almost half the seed
they ordered from Fedco turn out to be the wrong ones. They make it right
but often you can't tell until its grown out but then you don't have
the crop you planned for. They are notorious for it and they admit they
have many problems, they even mention some of them in their catalog,.
For example one mentioned there was Cabbage that turned out to be brussel
sprouts, hard to catch that sort of thing by inspection. Since its a Co-op
they depend on a lot of people and some of them apparently don't to have very
good quality control. I plan to order quite a bit from them and I think
what they are doing is great but I'm expecting more than a few headaches.
Its to be expected in small doses, I even had a few problems with
Johnny's but there is a limit.
Another good source is Seed Savers,
I've ordered from them many times and only had one problem but they aren't
the cheapest by any means and I primarily use them for unusual Heirlooms.
