My seeds are sprouting!! I’m excited to see them grow:)

Total Failure

Two tiny little green buds came up, then died. Out of 50.

Very happy to find seeds for Mohave Buckwheat. Great customer service too! Thank you.

Feed the Birds

The birds in my yard were very thorough, so I managed to achieve 0% germination of my Short Stuff and Buckwheat. Luckily, I planted less than half the seeds and I'll try again in the spring. It's been a tough year for everyone so I'm certainly not going to get mad at the birds. I was planting these seeds to renew my tortoise garden, so I expect my tortoise will stomp around to show his displeasure when he wakes up! But, I have no doubt that the seeds are viable and they are not responsible for the one-star rating.

Great!
