Why aren't my seed grow kits germinating?
Patience and nurturing is key. Though most seeds take about 10 days to germinate, a handful can take significantly longer until they sprout or show any green. When in doubt, check that the space your plant is growing in gets full sun (direct sunlight for more than 6 hours a day), that the area isn't chilly for your seed type, and that the seeds are properly hydrated. If you have further concerns, email us at info@tascllc.com.
No, none of our products are GMO, or genetically modified organisms.
Some of our seeds are coated with fungicidal treatment to protect them from pests and disease during the seeding and germination phases.
Do you sell heirloom or organic products?
Heirloom bulbs and seeds will be listed as "Heirloom"within the product features and main drop down menu at the top of our site. Organic varieties will be clearly labeled in the product, i.e. Organic Red Baron Onion, as well as the main drop down menu.
How should I store my unused Seeds?
Proper storage is keeping the seeds in a sealed plastic bag or container to prevent insects, and in a dark, cool and dry place to prevent premature germination and other forms of decay. Do NOT store seeds in the refrigerator! We generally do not recommend storage if at all possible; the best option is to order in the same season that you intend to plant. However if you end up with left over seeds, you should be able to store through to the following season with favourable results. For more information, please visit our Grow Guide, found here.
I received my bulbs, now what?
When you receive your shipment of bulbs or perennial roots, we recommend unpacking and planting the products as soon as possible. Bulbs and Perennial Roots are perishable, and as such should not spend extended time in storage if at all possible. If it is necessary to keep bulbs stored for any length of time prior to planting, we recommend that you keep them in a dark, cool and dry location. It is not necessary to refrigerate most bulbs (with the exception of Lilies and Peony roots) but exposure to moisture, heat and light should be limited. For more information, please visit our Grow Guide, found here.
What is my Hardiness Zone?
Before planting, it is important to know your hardiness zone to ensure success and avoid unwelcome setbacks in your garden. Enter your Canadian Postal Code in our Zone Finder to discover your hardiness zone.

How should I store my unused Bulbs?
Bulbs should be planted in the season purchased and TASC does not guarantee bulbs that are not planted in the season they were bought. For more information please see our Grow Guarantee. If you cannot plant your bulbs and perennials right away, store them in a cool, dry, dark location, like a basement. For more specific information related to exact bulbs you have, please refer to our Grow Guide, found here.
