HOME GROWN Non GMO Detroit Dark Red Beet Seeds Pack - 500 Heirloom Vegetable Seeds for Planting - Red Beet for Home Garden High Germination(Beta vulgaris)

I'm very pleased with the germination rate and vigor of these spinach seeds. I got a 90+% germination rate which for spinach is quite good. As with any spinach seed, it's important to prepare the seeds before planting. There are a number of ways to do this -- lots of info online as to options. The method I've used for years with great results is: 1. Soak the seeds for 24 hours at room temp. 2. Drain and spread them out on a paper towel to dry. 3. Once they are fully dry (takes about a day) I put them in an airtight container in the fridge for 24 to 48 hours on top of a slight damp paper towel. 4. Take them out and plant outdoors. I use a planting depth of about 1/2 to 3/4 inch. (optional step 5: cover the planting bed with scrap window screening to keep the squirrels out. They like to bury their nuts for winter in freshly worked garden beds which will totally mess up all your planting efforts.) Keep in mind that spinach will only germinate in soil that is below 70'ish degrees F, so this is a spring or fall crop only. I live in an area with hot, humid summers, so I only do a fall planting (in Sept and/or early Oct). This variety (Bloomsdale) is quite cold tolerant and does well even with frost with minimal protection. Good quality seeds at a decent price -- five stars.

100% germination on the package and that is what I'm looking for. Seed quality exactly what I want. Can't wait to see how many bushels we can get from them

I've ordered several batches of these and they germinate very easily and quickly within a few days all of them. Because I'm in a cold climate year-round, I usually start them indoors in a moist paper inside a plastic sandwich bag. I'm a beginner so I've only been able to get a few plants growing to maturity in the greenhouse outside, and only now do I see them putting out good size cucumber fruits. They must be self pollinating because the greenhouse is closed all the time. I see one has grown to at least 6 inches long and 1/2 inch or 2 inch diameter so far. I was surprised to see it grow through our winter here in San Francisco.

Too soon to start seeds to know how viable they are, however the seeds were packed in 2025 with a sell by date of 06/2026. Better than others I have received recently that were packed for 2025! Beware of discounted seed packs when buying at this time.

100% germination rate in 4 days! Looking forward to some great tomatoes :)

The seed sprouted in no time and were plentiful!

I ordered these jalapeño pepper seeds, excited to grow some spicy peppers in my classroom hydroponics, but when they began growing, I realized they were actually bell pepper plants. The seeds germinated quickly and produced healthy plants with vibrant green bell peppers. The peppers were juicy and crunchy, so while it wasn't what I expected, the overall gardening experience was still positive. However, I would suggest that the seller double-check the packaging to ensure they are sending the correct seeds. If you’re specifically looking for jalapeños, this mix-up could be frustrating. Otherwise, these bell peppers are a great choice for a non-spicy pepper variety, and they grew well in my hydroponics. We did take one off and taste test it, and it was definitely not a jalapeno. Pros: Healthy seeds that germinated well Bell peppers grew strong and tasty Easy to grow Cons: Received bell pepper seeds instead of jalapeños Not ideal if you’re specifically after spicy peppers Overall, I'm happy with the product, but just be aware that you might not get the peppers you're expecting!

They look so beautiful and I’ve gotten 8-9 pepper on one of the plant. 5-6 on another with flowers more to come. They did take a while to sprout. Don’t be discouraged because they will grow. Just avoid over watering at the beginning, because they tend to get moldy. Right now I’m trying to grow some from my peppers seeds and I overwatered it. It’s so moldy and disgusting. You can start your growth in some solo cups. I poke holes and cut up the bottom so water can come out. Just make sure to put the soil close the top so that it gets a lot of sunlight. I wait till there’s at least 2-3 inches of growth before I plant them into a bigger pot.. once I get in that bigger pot you have to really water it because the water goes down to the bottom of the container. I live in florida so it’s always sunny and warm. Try to avoid excess heat they tend to die out. I live in an apartment and I’m growing mine in porch in fabric bags. The porch screening helps prevent excess sunlight from coming in and overheating my plants. Tip: upsize the fabric bags because they like room to grow. Another tip, to keep those little white bugs from getting all over the leaves, I planted it with basil. They seem to work great together. Last tip invest in 2 electric cheap toothbrush so you can self pollinate and and use the other one to clean the back of the leaves of the white little bugs. One more thing, I always boil my egg shells, crush them down really good and put that in the soil as fertilizer. They love it! They love the water too! I include current pictures and pictures from when I first transferred them over to the bags
