Summer Thyme, Organic Options Available

Green Shiso - Popular in Asian cuisine, Green Shisho is used in sushi, salas and in many other Asian dishes. The flower flavors are filled with unique combinations of mint, cumin, clove and cinnamon. The leaves have similiar notes. It is a complex series of flavors and so much packed into one plant. Use this with fish, rice, cucumbers or noodles. It can be cooked or used raw. Botanical Name: Perilla frutescens Characteristics: Complex flavors Easy to grow Loves full sun Prefers sandy soils Instructions - When late spring weather has thoroughly warmed up, sow seeds 1 inch apart in well-worked fertile soil in full sun. Cover 1/4 inch deep, firm soil, and keep the seedbed moist. Germination takes 1 to 2 weeks. After seedlings are well established, thin or transplant 8 inches apart to allow plants room to mature. Sow seeds 1 inch apart in a container of seed starting mix, 4 to 6 weeks before the last expected frost. Keep warm and evenly moist, and provide a good light source. When seedlings are large enough to handle and night temperatures are solidly above 50°F, acclimate gradually to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden 8 inches apart. Remember— it is critical to plant Shiso in the garden only after days and nights are solidly above 50°F (10°C). Pinch off growing tips when plants are 6 to 8 inches tall to encourage branching. Harvest sprays of leaves by cutting stems just above two new sprouting lateral branches to get lush regrowth. Keep flower buds pinched off to extend harvesting and feed regularly to promote new growth. Plant in May-June for cold winters; April-July for mild winters Full Sun Sow seeds 1" apart and 1/4" deep 7-14 days to germinate Mature Height: 2-2.5 feet Firefly Farm & Mercantile may substitute suppliers due to availability.

Sacred Basil - Tulsi, Heirloom, Organic

High Mowing Organic Seeds - Very attractive, compact plants with the strongest downy mildew resistance we've seen. This line of downy mildew-resistant basil has been trialed against market standards all across the country and has come up aces every time. In our own field trials in northern Vermont, Obsession also impressed us with high marks for plant vigor and bolt tolerance. Plants have a high leaf-to-stem ratio and average 26" in height. Suitable for field or potted plant production. We are excited to offer Obsession as an organic seed thanks to our partnership with the team at Van Drunen Farms Specialty Seeds. Characteristics: Non-GMO, and open-pollinated, seed sourced from High Mowing Organic Seeds Slow to bolt Extremely uniform Open-Pollinated 1/10th of a gram Instructions - Basil is a tender annual that prefers warm weather and rich soil. It is a popular culinary herb, cut flower, and can be used as a medicinal herb to calm the stomach. Basil needs well-drained but moist soil that is highly fertile. It is not drought tolerant, so even moisture levels are important for healthy growth. Start transplants indoors 6 weeks prior to planting out, or direct seed mid-spring through late summer. Basil is very sensitive to cold; use a row cover to extend the season. Pinch buds to encourage branching and leaf production. Plant 1/4" deep. Transplanting is recommended; if direct seeding, sow 2-3 seeds per inch and thin to 4-8" apart. Plant Spacing: Transplanting at 4-8" is recommended; if direct seeding, sow 2-3 seeds per inch and thin to 4-8" apart. Row Spacing: 18" Harvest & Storage - Harvest can begin once plants have become established, by pinching or cutting branches but leaving the plant to continue to produce leaves. A harvest of the full plant should be completed just before the plant starts to flower (flavor is significantly impacted once flowering occurs). Cut the entire plant 4-6" above the ground to promote a second growth. Store unwashed at room temperature to avoid browning. Do not store below 50°F.

🎨 Firefly Blaze Mix Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) The Flickering Jewel of the Edible Garden Ignite your garden with the Firefly Blaze Mix, a stunning selection of nasturtiums designed to mimic the warm, dancing glow of a summer bonfire. This "Firefly" mix offers a breathtaking palette of scarlet-red, brilliant orange, and honey-gold blooms that stand out against lily-pad-shaped, emerald-green foliage. Classified as a dwarf, mounding variety, it offers the perfect balance of form and function—staying tidy enough for garden borders while producing lush, 24-to-30-inch vines that spill elegantly over the sides of containers or create a dense, flowery carpet. The poorer the soil, the better the blooms! 📜 Historical Heritage & Global Journey Nasturtiums are a true New World treasure, originally native to the rugged slopes of the Andean Mountains in South America (spanning from Peru to Colombia). They were brought to Europe by Spanish conquistadors in the 1500s and quickly became a sensation in royal gardens. Historically, they were known as "Indian Cress" because their peppery flavor reminded explorers of watercress. In the 17th century, they were valued as a vital "scurvy-preventing" plant on long voyages due to their high Vitamin C content. By the Victorian era, nasturtiums had become a staple of the "Cottage Garden" movement. Our Firefly Blaze Mix carries on this legacy of utility and beauty, representing the refined, dwarf mounding habit that was perfected in the early 20th century to suit the smaller garden beds of the modern era. ✨ Product Highlights The "Goldilocks" Size: With a 24-to-30-inch height and vine length, these are larger than "ultra-dwarf" types but far more manageable than climbing varieties. They provide excellent ground cover without taking over the garden. Completely Edible: Every part of the plant is a gourmet treat! The flowers add a mild, sweet-peppery flavor to salads, while the leaves offer a spicy "kick" similar to arugula. The Ultimate Companion Plant: Often called the "Trap Crop," nasturtiums naturally draw aphids away from your prized vegetables like kale and tomatoes. Deer & Rabbit Resistant: The spicy, mustard-oil scent of the foliage acts as a natural deterrent to garden grazers. Pollinator Magnet: Hummingbirds and long-tongued bees are particularly drawn to the deep nectar spurs found at the back of each "Firefly" bloom. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Scientific Name Tropaeolum majus Plant Type Annual (Mounding / Dwarf) Height / Vine Length 24 to 30 inches Sun Requirement Full Sun to Partial Shade Bloom Period Early Summer through Frost Days to Maturity 55–65 Days Edibility Flowers, Leaves, and Seed Pods (Pickled) 🌱 How to Grow Firefly Blaze Nasturtiums 1. Sowing the Seeds (Direct Sow is Best):Nasturtiums have large, easy-to-handle seeds (great for kids!) and do not like being transplanted. When: Sow outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil is warm. Depth: Sow seeds 1/2 inch to 1 inch deep. They require darkness to germinate. Scarification: For faster sprouting, you can nick the hard seed coat with a nail file or soak them in warm water for 4–8 hours before planting. 2. The "Love 'em and Leave 'em" Rule:One of the unique secrets to nasturtiums is that they thrive on neglect. Soil: Avoid rich, fertilized soil. If the soil is too "good" or contains too much nitrogen, the plant will produce massive amounts of leaves and very few flowers. Poor, sandy, or average soil is perfect. Watering: Water regularly until established, but once they are growing, they are quite drought-tolerant. 3. Maintenance: Spacing: Thin seedlings to 10–12 inches apart. The 30-inch vines will eventually grow together to form a solid, weed-suppressing mound. Pests: If you see aphids on your nasturtiums, don't panic! This means the plant is doing its job as a trap crop. Simply spray them off with a sharp blast of water from the hose. 🥗 Kitchen Tip: "Poor Man's Capers" Once the flowers fade, the plant produces green, three-lobed seed pods. Historically, these were harvested while still green and pickled in vinegar to create "Poor Man's Capers"—a spicy, tangy treat that tastes remarkably like the real thing! Garden Tip: Plant Firefly Blaze Mix in hanging baskets or at the edge of raised beds. The 30-inch vines will "blaze" downwards, creating a stunning waterfall of color that is visible from across the garden. 🏮🔥

🌼 German Chamomile: The Gentle "Plant Physician" Bring the soothing power of nature to your garden with German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla). This cheerful, daisy-like herb is a staple of the home apothecary, famous for its delicate apple-scented blooms and its legendary ability to calm the mind and body. 📜 History & Lore: The Plant's Physician Chamomile has been a "must-have" in gardens for millennia, earning high honors in ancient cultures: The Sun Herb: The Ancient Egyptians dedicated Chamomile to the Sun, ranking it above all other herbs for its healing properties. The Nine Sacred Herbs: In the ancient Anglo-Saxon Lacnunga, Chamomile was listed as one of the nine sacred herbs given to the world to fight disease and "evil." The Plant's Physician: Folklore suggests that Chamomile is a beneficial companion for almost any plant. It was believed that if you planted Chamomile next to a drooping or "sickly" plant, the Chamomile would help it recover and thrive. ✨ Key Features Prolific Bloomer: This variety is a heavy producer, sending up hundreds of tiny white flowers with bright yellow centers throughout the summer. Easy Self-Seeder: While it is an annual, German Chamomile is a "reliable returner." It drops its seeds readily, meaning you’ll likely see a fresh crop of "volunteers" every spring. Fragrant Foliage: Even when it isn't blooming, the feathery, fern-like foliage releases a sweet, apple-like aroma when crushed. Beneficial to Pollinators: Its open-faced flowers are an easy nectar source for tiny beneficial wasps, hoverflies, and honeybees. 🍵 Flavor & Usage Profile Chamomile is the ultimate "comfort herb," prized for its gentle effectiveness and sweet, floral flavor.

🌟 Borage (Borago officinalis) The Star of the Pollinator Garden Borage, also known as the "Starflower," is a multifaceted heirloom that every gardener should experience at least once. Known for its brilliant, sky-blue, star-shaped flowers and its unique cucumber-like fragrance, Borage is the ultimate "workhorse" plant. It is a prized culinary herb, a legendary medicinal plant, and quite possibly the best plant in existence for attracting honeybees and bumblebees to your garden. We love to plant it at the end of rows to help attract pollinators. 📜 Historical Heritage & Folklore Borage is native to the Mediterranean region and has been cultivated for thousands of years. Its history is steeped in folklore and the concept of "courage." The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that consuming borage flowers would bring a sense of bravery and joy. In fact, the old Latin verse "Ego Borago, Gaudia Semper Ago" translates to "I, Borage, bring always joys." In the Middle Ages, borage flowers were often embroidered into the scarves of knights and added to wine before battle to "gladden the heart" and dispel melancholy. Beyond the battlefield, it has been a staple of European cottage gardens for centuries, valued for its ability to improve the health of surrounding plants. ✨ Product Highlights The "Bee's Favorite": Borage produces nectar so quickly that a bee can visit the same flower every few minutes. It is often called "Bee Bread." Edible Elegance: The stunning blue flowers have a refreshing cucumber taste. They are perfect for garnishing salads, cocktails, or freezing into decorative ice cubes. Companion Planting Champion: Traditionally planted near strawberries and tomatoes, it is believed to improve their flavor and help deter tomato hornworms. Dynamic Accumulator: Its deep taproot pulls minerals from deep in the subsoil. Once the plant dies back, it makes an exceptional, nutrient-rich mulch or compost additive. Self-Seeding: While it is an annual, Borage is a prolific self-seeder. Once you plant it, you will likely have "volunteer" borage plants returning to your garden for years to come. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Plant Type Annual Herb (Heirloom) Height 24 to 36 inches Bloom Color Brilliant Blue (occasionally pink) Sun Requirement Full Sun to Partial Shade Days to Maturity 50–60 Days Growth Habit Upright, Multi-branching 🌱 How to Grow Borage 1. Sowing the Seeds:Borage has a long taproot and does not like being moved. Direct sowing is highly recommended. Sow seeds outdoors once the danger of frost has passed. Sow 1/2 inch deep. The seeds require darkness to germinate. Keep the soil moist until they sprout, which usually takes 7–14 days. 2. Choosing a Spot:Borage isn't picky about soil and will grow almost anywhere, though it prefers well-drained soil. Because it can grow up to 3 feet tall and becomes quite bushy, ensure it has enough room to spread, but it's worth it 3. Maintenance: Thinning: Space plants 12–15 inches apart. Support: As the plant gets heavy with flowers, it may occasionally flop over after a heavy rain. Planting them in groups allows them to support one another. Mulching: Use organic mulch to keep the roots cool and moist. 4. Harvesting: Flowers: Pick the blossoms just as they open for the best flavor and appearance. Leaves: If using the leaves for tea or salads, harvest them when they are young and tender. As the plant matures, the leaves become very hairy and "prickly." 🍳 Culinary & Garden Tips Ice Cube Magic: Place one fresh blue flower in each compartment of an ice cube tray, fill with water, and freeze. Use them in lemonade or Pimm's Cups for a stunning presentation. The "Pink to Blue" Trick: Borage flowers often start as pink and turn blue as they age (a result of changing pH levels in the petals). Compost Tea: Toss your old borage stalks into your compost pile or soak them in a bucket of water for a few days to create a potassium-rich liquid fertilizer for your other garden plants. Garden Tip: If you want to prevent Borage from taking over your garden, simply "deadhead" the flowers before they go to seed. If you want a lifetime supply of Borage, let just one or two plants drop their seeds in late summer! 🐝⭐

This heirloom variety has been cultivated there for centuries, becoming the gold standard for authentic Italian cuisine. Historical Roots Italian Selection: While sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) originated in India and Southeast Asia over 5,000 years ago (spreading via ancient trade routes to the Mediterranean), the 'Genovese' cultivar was specifically developed and perfected in Italy. Ligurian Legacy: By the 19th century (and likely earlier), it was the preferred strain around Genoa. Farmers selected for its large leaves, intense aroma, and pest resistance—ideal for the region's pesto tradition. Pesto Fame: In 2007, the EU granted PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status to Pesto alla Genovese, mandating Genovese basil from Liguria for the real deal. 📜 Fun Fact "Introduced to Europe by Romans, but Genoa made it legendary—today, it's grown worldwide but shines brightest in Italian soil!"

🌿 Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) The Ancient Herb of Purification and Pollinator Bliss Introduce a touch of timeless elegance and storied history to your herb garden with Hyssop. This hardy, semi-evergreen perennial is a masterpiece of multi-purpose gardening. With its upright spikes of vibrant indigo-blue flowers and aromatic, needle-like foliage, Hyssop is as much an ornamental joy as it is a culinary and medicinal staple. Known as a "top-tier" bee plant, it is an essential addition for anyone looking to create a thriving, scent-filled sanctuary. 📜 Historical Heritage & Folklore Hyssop is a plant steeped in antiquity. Native to the Mediterranean and Central Asia, it has been cultivated for over 2,500 years. Historically, Hyssop was revered as a "holy herb" of purification. It is famously mentioned in the Bible ("Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean"), though botanical historians believe the biblical hyssop may have been a different local species. In the Middle Ages, it was a fundamental "strewing herb," scattered across the floors of homes and churches to scent the air and ward off disease. In the Renaissance "Stillroom," it was a primary ingredient in tonics and liqueurs—most notably Chartreuse, the famous French liqueur, which still uses Hyssop in its secret recipe today. ✨ Product Highlights The Ultimate "Bee Magnet": Hyssop is legendary among beekeepers. It produces an abundance of nectar that results in a highly prized, aromatic honey. Aromatic Foliage: The leaves emit a refreshing, complex scent—a blend of spicy mint, camphor, and warm anise. Drought Tolerant & Rugged: Once established, Hyssop thrives in hot, dry conditions and poor soils where other herbs might struggle. Culinary Versatility: A hidden gem in the kitchen! The leaves add a peppery, minty zest to heavy stews, roasted meats, and herbal teas. Beautiful "Living Hedge": With its woody base and upright habit, it can be pruned into a tidy, fragrant low hedge for garden borders. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Scientific Name Hyssopus officinalis Plant Type Perennial Herb (Hardy in Zones 4–9) Height 18 to 24 inches Sun Requirement Full Sun (6-8+ hours) Bloom Color Deep Blue / Violet Days to Maturity 75–85 Days Soil Preference Well-drained, slightly alkaline 🌱 How to Grow Hyssop from Seed 1. Sowing the Seeds:Hyssop is easy to grow from seed and can be started indoors or direct-sown. Indoors: Start 8–10 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds on the surface of a seed-starting mix and press them in lightly. They require light to germinate. Outdoors: Direct sow in early spring or late autumn. Scatter seeds on cleared soil and press firmly to ensure good contact. Germination: Expect sprouts in 14–21 days. 2. The Perfect Location:Hyssop demands excellent drainage. It loves "sweet" (alkaline) soil and plenty of sun. If your soil is heavy clay, consider growing Hyssop in a raised bed or a large container to prevent "wet feet" during the winter. 3. Maintenance: Spacing: Thin or transplant seedlings to 12–18 inches apart. Pruning: To keep the plant from becoming too "woody" and leggy, prune it back by half in early spring. This encourages a fresh flush of tender, aromatic leaves. Watering: Water regularly until established. Mature plants are remarkably drought-tolerant. 🍳 Culinary & Garden Tips In the Kitchen: Because Hyssop has a strong flavor, use it sparingly. It is particularly effective at helping to "cut" the richness of fatty meats like duck or lamb. Companion Planting: Hyssop is a fantastic companion for grapes and cabbage. It is said to increase the yield of grapes, and its strong scent helps distract the Cabbage White butterfly from laying eggs on your brassicas. Herb Teas: A tea made from Hyssop leaves and honey is a traditional folk remedy for soothing sore throats and coughs. Garden Tip: Harvest the flower spikes just as they begin to open if you wish to dry them for potpourri or floral arrangements. They retain their deep blue color and spicy scent beautifully when dried. 🌿✨

🌿 Garlic Chives (Allium tuberosum) The Elegant Perennial with a Gourmet Garlic Kick If you love the flavor of garlic but want the ease and grace of a perennial herb, Garlic Chives are a must-have for your garden. Also known as Chinese Chives or Oriental Garlic Chives, this versatile plant offers a sophisticated twist on the common chive. Instead of hollow tubes, Garlic Chives produce flat, strap-like leaves with a distinct, mild garlic aroma. But their utility doesn't end in the kitchen—their stunning, star-shaped white flowers are among the best late-summer nectar sources for pollinators. 📜 Historical Heritage & Global Origin Garlic Chives are native to East Asia, specifically the Himalayan regions of China and India. They have been a cornerstone of Asian agriculture and medicine for over 4,000 years. Historically, they were known in China as "Kow Choi" and were prized not only for their flavor but for their perceived ability to support digestion and improve stamina. During the 15th and 16th centuries, they traveled along the Silk Road into Europe, where they were eventually adopted into "physic gardens" and ornamental borders. Unlike many delicate herbs, Garlic Chives were celebrated for their "iron-clad" hardiness, surviving harsh winters and returning reliably every spring to feed the homestead. ✨ Product Highlights Mild Garlic Flavor: The leaves offer a subtle, sweet garlic zing—perfect for those who find raw garlic cloves too pungent. Late-Season Blooms: While common chives bloom in spring, Garlic Chives produce beautiful, fragrant white flower umbels in late summer (August–September). Pollinator Magnet: The white blossoms are a magnet for honeybees, butterflies, and beneficial predatory insects just as other garden flowers are fading. Pest Deterrent: Their scent helps deter aphids and Japanese beetles, making them a world-class companion for roses and tomatoes. Completely Edible: Use the leaves in stir-fries and dumplings, or use the crunchy, unopened flower buds (known as "flowering chives") as a gourmet delicacy. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Scientific Name Allium tuberosum Plant Type Perennial Herb (Hardy in Zones 3–9) Height 12 to 20 inches Sun Requirement Full Sun to Partial Shade Bloom Color Bright White Stars Days to Maturity 80–90 Days (from seed) Growth Habit Clump-forming 🌱 How to Grow Garlic Chives 1. Sowing the Seeds:Garlic Chives are easy to grow but require a little patience during germination. Indoors: Start 6–8 weeks before the last frost for an earlier harvest. Outdoors: Direct sow in early spring once the soil can be worked. Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. Germination: Expect sprouts in 14–21 days. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy during this period. 2. Choosing a Location:Garlic Chives thrive in full sun but are remarkably tolerant of partial shade. They prefer rich, well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter. They are an excellent choice for raised beds, containers, or even tucked into the front of a perennial flower border. 3. Maintenance & Division: Watering: Water regularly until established. Mature clumps are quite drought-tolerant. Division: To keep the plants vigorous, dig up and divide the clumps every 3 years in the spring. The "Self-Seeding" Note: Unlike common chives, Garlic Chives are prolific self-seeders. If you don't want "volunteer" chives popping up in your garden, be sure to cut the flower heads off before they turn brown and drop their seeds. 4. Harvesting:Begin harvesting once the plants are at least 6 inches tall. Snip the outer leaves from the base of the plant. The flowers can also be harvested for beautiful, edible garnishes or used in dried floral arrangements. 🍳 Culinary Inspiration Garlic Chives are a staple in potstickers, spring rolls, and stir-fries. They also make an incredible "Garlic Chive Butter"—simply mince the leaves, fold them into softened butter with a pinch of sea salt, and slather over grilled corn or warm sourdough bread. Garden Tip: Don't throw away the flower stalks! They are stiffer and more architectural than common chive stalks, making them a fantastic, fragrant addition to late-summer bouquets. 💐🧄

<li>Use of Computer Tracking Technologies.</li>
<ol>
<li>No Tracking of Personal Information.&nbsp;The Site is not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information not entered by visitors. Through the Site access logs we do collect clickstream data and HTTP protocol elements, which generate certain kinds of non-identifying Site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to our Site.

A cookie is an alphanumeric identifier that a website can transfer to customer's hard drive through customer's browser. The cookie is then stored on customer's computer as an anonymous tag that identifies the customer's computer, but not the customer. Cookies may be sent by the Company or its third party vendors. Customer can set its browser to notify customer before a cookie is received, giving an opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. Customer may also set its browser to turn off cookies; however, some websites may not then work properly.</li>
<li>Use of Web Technologies.&nbsp;The Company may also use web beacons or other&nbsp;&nbsp;technologies to better tailor the Site to provide better customer service. If these beacons or technologies are in use, when a visitor accesses these pages of the Site, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by Company or by its suppliers. Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If customer does not want cookie information to be associated with customer's visits to these pages, customer can set its browser to turn off cookies; however, web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded.</li>
<li>Collection of Non-Identifiable Information.&nbsp;The Company may collect non-identifiable information from user visits to the Site in order to provide better customer service. Examples of such collecting include: traffic analysis, such as tracking of the domains from which users visit, or tracking numbers of visitors; measuring visitor activity on the Site; website and system administration; user analysis; and business decision making. Such information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." We or our contractors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics.</li>
<li>Collection of Personal Information.&nbsp;The Company collects personal identifying information from customer during a transaction. We may extract some personally identifying information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information, such as clickstream data.

PRIVACY POLICY

If for any reason you are not happy with a purchase, please email us at andre@fireflyfarmandmercantile.com so we can assist.&nbsp; We do provide refunds up to 10 days of you receiving merchandise. We may ask for the product to be returned to be eligible for a refund. We do not do refunds for shipping unless it is something we feel we could have done better. Carriers often don’t deliver based on their own timelines but you can always pick up at our garden shop too. Unlike most online garden online retailers we have a business location too, so come in out and visit our farm.

REFUND POLICY

Shipping Policy: 
Seasonal Availability: We typically have more than one season of products available to order.&nbsp; We separate these at time of fulfillment. Shipping is typically collected for the shipment leaving the soonest and for pre-ordered items, we will send you a shipping invoice to pay before your merchandise arrives.&nbsp;
Pre-calculated weights:
Sometimes the products purchased may weigh more or less than the calculated shipping rate. We try our best to determine the weights based on current and past inventory.&nbsp; We do provide refunds proactively and will communicate accordingly.&nbsp;
We try our best to offer the right services for you at checkout. If we see an opportunity for a more desirable service we will reach out to you. Please ensure we have a good contact number or email&nbsp; so we can do so.&nbsp;
United States Postal Service and UPS services go out Monday through Friday. This allows us to ensure we provide a quality product at a reasonable rate. Any delivery times are just estimates from the carrier once they receive the package. We cannot change this due to Shopify’s policy. I would if I could as it can lead to some confusion.
We are a small garden shop and have very little pull with any carrier (and seriously who really does with USPS or any other). For the most part UPS timelines have been the most consistent. But there are not delivery dates but days your package will be in transit once we drop it off. In average we take 1-4 business days to fulfill orders and then the carrier’s approximate shipping times are added to that.&nbsp;

SHIPPING POLICY

We accept various forms for payment. Currently we accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express as well as Google Pay and Shop Pay.
We strive to deliver on what we say we are going to do. Pre-orders are orders that are being taken without inventory on hand. The advantage is you get a great price, but sometimes crops just don't yield what is expected. We will use many different suppliers to fulfill your orders as best as possible. We won't substitute without your permission so please make sure you leave your best contact information so we can reach out to you. On occasion if unable to reach you, we will simply send the substitute product but you are welcome to call us once receiving it and letting us know you’d like a refund on it.
