Customer Rating: Summary: 100% germination 2008-04-11 Comment: I saw some of the other reviews for Hirts that complained about the germination rate. I bought several Hirts exotic vegetable packets and I have had 100% germination so far. Plants are still small.
I ordered and the seed packets arrived promptly. Interestingly, they arrived in ziploc bags that were really small and only had a few seeds. I love the ziploc baggies! It is so convenient and compact that I am amazed that no one else had sold me seeds this way (not Burpees, HOme Depot, or 15 other suppliers I have used).
I planted the seeds within a month. They were planted indoors in a seed starter tray with the compressed peat moss cylinders that expand with water (less than 10 dollars a tray, multiple suppliers). Because they gave me so few seeds per package I only planted a single seed per peat moss puck and had 100% GERMINATION. Still staggered by this. I never get 100%. Interestingly, I planted about 300 plants from multiple suppliers and the Hirts sprouted first as well. Maybe just lucky but these seeds must have been fresh. Will repost at end of season and advise on the actual cucumbers.
