1 Star only ten seeds
I only recieved 10 seeds for this one. I ordered 4 different vegetables, despite the crappy reviews. The seeds come in little clear plastic ziplock bags with no pictures. I bought these as a gift so I had to come back here to print the pictures myself. Kind of lame. I think I’ll return the 10 seeds. If they are not even going to grow, at least give me all 20 for my $4.00.
5 Stars All of my seeds grew!
This was one of the only places i could find seeds i wanted to try. I have an organic garden that needed some heirloom exotics. I dont know what some people do but i got 98% germination on all of my Hirt’s seeds. I started all but the purple dragon carrots and cucumbers i got from hurt’s *which all of those came in* in seed pots. I loved the black tula, black seaman, black zebra, black russian and beefsteak tomato’s that came in, the black tulas being very delicious and meaty flavor. I also purchased other heirlooms from Hirt’s and havent had an issue with any of the seeds just the pests that come and try to eat my tomatos!
I plan to purchase the majority of my seeds again through hirt’s, as some of my crop was killed by a freak hail storm atleast i got to get my first pickings out and tasted. This by far has been the only company that has had any great germination rate with me, even the local companies had poor rates with the legumes i purchased so from now on until another company dazzle’s me with better offer’s and pricing i probaly will stick with Hirt’s for years to come. Also i say try out one pack from a new company, that way you wont have to get so upset if you loose seed germination, time and money then get angry over it.
5 Stars 100% germination rate
Planted six of the 10 seeds,all sproted in around 3 to 4 days.Soaked the seeds in a 100 ppm solution of 90% gibberellic acid for 5 hours before to planting.Also used the germination station seed starter ,also sold on Amazon.Now have seedlings in south window under 3 floresent plant lights I bought at Wal Mart for 10$ a peice.Seems to be enough light to aviod leggy stems.
1 Star lousy germination rate for Hirt’s seeds
My children and I ordered a selection of really fun seeds from you. (Hmong Red Cucumber
Black Sea Man Tomato, Rare Tigger Melon, Mexican Miniature Watermelon, Toga Striped Eggplant, Purple Cauliflower, Unwins Exhibiton 7 Pound Onion, Rare Red Bull Brussels Sprout)
My germination rate has been about 25% or less. All my other seeds from other companies are doing wonderful on my tables, but my Hirt’s seeds are in a category of their own, small, stunted, wimpy, or not at all. I will not be ordering from you again, and I’m sorry I wasted my money.

5 Stars Fast germination for me.
These germinated very quickly for me and are growing great outside. Also gave 2 plants away to friends and they have taken off very well. (Started indoors then transplanted outside) A caterpilar had eaten almost the enire plant down to a couple of mangled stalks. It grew back quickly and is starting to produce fruits again. Wasn’t able to save any tomatos from the first batch.
