Poor germination

by

Had one seed germinate out of the entire pack and that seedling didn’t even make it. I have been starting seeds for years and never had such poor germination.

Dead seed

by

I had a worse outcome with no seeds germinating.

Disappointed

by

Sorry to say that none of my seeds germinated either.
So disappointed - I have tried two seasons now.
