Are these true heirloom and are they easy to germinate?

There was almost nothing included that I would ever use...such as black-eyed peas...and out of the very few herbs that were in there, none germinated.

The literature that comes with the seeds states you can harvest the seeds to grow again next season (if this is what you mean by heirloom) and the company is on the Safe Seed List. However, I collected a few seeds but have not tried yet to plant these "offspring". I would not recommend using peat pellets, just regular seed starting soil mix. I am in zone 9-10 and had better luck with seeds germinating outdoors.

I haven't had much luck getting them past a certain point and then they die. I have had more luck with live plants from burpee

Yes, These are Heirloom Seeds . Easy Seeds to Germinate . Good soil and water help the growth process.

All 5 of mine arrived safe and sound, happy and healthy. I've transplanted all of them and one has since passed, but I don't blame the seller. As long as you made sure there was enough drainage and ventilation, I'm sure these plants would be fine.

If they are heirloom seeds they should germinate. Keep them cool or even in the freezer until spring or until ready to sow. Actually they should keep for more than one season and will produce seeds to replant each year.

Yes, they are. They are maybe 1/2 as thin as a normal terra cotta pot. Mine arrived all intact (2 sets of 4). To insert them in the soil, I used a small, narrow hand spade in a twisting motion to loosen the dirt, then inserted the Plant Nannies. I had no problems with breakage that way. I'm very happy with them.

These are viable seeds that sprout in water. There should be no reason why they should not sprout in soil if watered and cared for properly.

Mine were not peeled. If you wish to sprout them, they also germinated just fine.

Hi there they taste like a tangy cucumber if that makes any sense. But just to let you know I ordered from here and none sprouted idk if the seeds were old or what it was but nothing grew if you do buy from this seller I just hope you have a different outcome than I did. Good luck!!! They're delicious in salads!

Hey there. I just used these pots again and have germination. I separate these little pots using scissors. It makes transplanting easy. They are sturdy, but I wouldn't let them stand alone. They conveniently disintegrate; I love them;)

I have planted them, about 7-8 weeks ago. And disappointedly to this day only 9 have grown!!!! I love those plants, when I lived in Md., I had a huge pot of them, but since my mother passed away, my brothers have thrown everything we owned away, cause my father could not afford house in Md anymore! If you want I will send you a picture of what grew. My mother loved these, thatswhy I ordered them, there is not one nursery in Myrtle Beach, SC that sell them!

I have never tried to germinate them. I bought this to use as a side dish and to grind into Teff flour. If you have some kelp powder but 1 tablespoon of the teff grain into a glass quart jar with 1/2 teaspoon of the kelp powder. Cover with good water-spring is great & even distilled but no chlorinated water. The next day, drain it through a sieve with tiny holes so not to loose the grain. Put this soaked mixture into a sprouter. Follow the directions for the sprouter. Usually it is necessary to rinse the seeds at least once a day. Once/IF you see the grain open with a tiny sprout within a couple of days, you have your answer. RETURN & REPORT.

Yes and yes! That is why I purchased them. I wanted to start a Non-GMO garden and be able to sell the plants and seeds myself. Almost all the seeds I have planted in my small greenhouse have germinated.

Yes, the seeds seem to be intact. Just make sure they are dried (they should already be upon arrival). I have planted some already. Waiting for them to germinate.

Yes, but it's best plant them in pot at outdoor under shade area. I try indoor, it get very low seed germination rate. Plant them in the pot with plastic bag cover the entire pot. Hope this help.

I have a had mine stored in my freezer for two years now. Haven't had any problems with them. Don't plan on taking them out for at least another 3 years so it will be 5 years total when I will open and use. That will be the true test of time so far on my list. But if these are true heirloom seed, they should be able to last a lot longer than that.

They are fairly large, similar to a dried kidney bean. You will want to soak them in water over night or knick the outside with something sharp to get them to germinate.

I'm not sure I said "forever" lol. Seeds are not such that you can place a definite time span on them but some seeds found in King Herod's tomb were planted over 2000 years later and germinated. I'm not in any way saying that you should plan on these or any other seeds lasting that long but by freezing them in the package that they come in, you can expect them to be good for decades.

Supposed to be. However I planted 20 seeds i pots and only 3 seedlings came up and died within 3 weeks. I would not recommend these seeds.
