Great seeds and fast delivery.
I got very good germination numbers on these despite asparagus being notoriously difficult to start from seed. They're not quick though! Give them 2-4 weeks and keep them wet. Maybe soak them overnight before starting. The plants did well for being in part shade and I'm looking forward to year 2 and beyond!
I had good germination. Hopefully I can have full grow plants by next year.
Great seed package for the seed i am looking for.. can't wait to plant them!
Looking forward to planting and growing this. We have never grown asparagus. The seeds are a great price and arrived quickly.
Germanated quickly on a heat mat. Off the mat and growing ready to transplant early/mid april. Excited for leeks this autumn
Last year I bought seeds from my local store and I didnt get anything to germinate. This year I purchased all my seeds from MIGardener and I've had to give seedlings away cause nearly all the seeds sprouted!!!
Great germination! I'm excited to see how the onions turn out
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
