Nice spinach

The spinach plants arrived at the stated time, easy transaction, they were packed well and were in great condition. I do not like that the tomato plants I ordered were not delivered along with the rest of my order. I received two different communications after the fact. One stated that the crop failed and the other, that they sold out. I was quickly refunded after I noticed the short and emailed them.

New Zealand Heirloom Spinach

I have these planted on my balcony. Once they take off and start growing they grow like a weed.

Great Company!!!

I am very pleased on the quality of the spinach plants and the packaging. I actually surprised with the quality of the plants since I chose to have shipped via USPS. I will continue to buy from GrowJoy.

New Zealand Heirloom Spinach Plant

Have not planted yet, May 3 and we had some snow on the ground, but a positive of these plants is that they continue to do well even in their little pots in my garage, waiting for their warm soil to show up !!
