A-1 germination on these exotics by N. J. Pinney  5 Stars
August 22, 2009
All my Hirt seeds have sprouted except the purple cauliflower cultivar. I plant mostly what I call the exotics, the purple dragon carrots, and black sea man tomatoes. And also the fractal romanesco broccoli -- you may just want to look at it.
One has to pay attention to germination procedures. You can't just drop the seeds into the ground and expect 100% germination. From another review I picked up on GA-3 Gibberalic Acid as a presoak germination aid before planting. Mix the right part per million solution and it helps. Recommend Michel at Super-Grow. But Mike, who knows his seeds, said these cauliflower seeds from the Hirt people may not be viable seeds or just bad seeds.

Amazing growth from these seeds. I got a crop of huge, gorgeous heirloom tomatoes and they didn't stop there. Now I have a whole second crop of amazing fruit on the same plant. Hardy, great producers.

All of my seeds grew! by Serena s. (Ny usa) 5 Stars
November 23, 2008
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.

Fast germination for me. by Steven Robinson 5 Stars
September 20, 2008
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.
