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.
Grew these for the past three years and I will keep growing them for many more. I highly recommend them. Great germination rate. Every onion grew to the size of baseballs and others a bit bigger and they store very well.Best long day onion I have ever grow.
I am very happy with my heirloom seeds. I cannot wait to germinate them.
Started my seeds on 12/31/25. I’ve had almost 100% germination and the onion seedlings are a couple of inches tall at this point (1/9/26). Looking forward to a great harvest!
Grew these last year, so I bought more seeds! they were awesome, very prolific and tasted great!!
I started them early....did waterjug winter seed starts .. they did very well....grew up to be nice sturdy plants, bearing lots of fruit! Thank You!!
