Vegetable & Fruit Seeds, 32 Packs, Non-GMO, 15,000+ Seeds

I just wanted survival seeds that germinate and grow. Excellent germination rate. Late last year, prior to the current apocalypse, I'd planned to plant these using the STUN method, strategic, total, utter neglect, testing different approaches. The squash seedlings proved far too tasty for the fall onslaught of birds, squirrels, rabbits and raccoons to ignore, the results are still pretty amazing. Some of the dwarf siberian kale and mustard greens even survived the winter, providing me a crop right now. With the STUN method, I used no prep, no weeding, planted in the "wrong" place, and got a small crop anyway from these amazing seeds. And believe it or not, that's exactly what I expected to happen. The next step is to let these go to seed (already in progress) and harvest their survivor genetics, getting a crop perfectly tailored to my wrong environment and neglectful practices. I also tested germinating these and some 25 year-old seeds in a bag of the cheapest, store-bought mystery potting soil. Everything came up in neat little rows. The germination rates were at least as good as advertised. The transplanted corn grew. (But not much. They were planted in September in Seattle. Not nearly enough time to grow.) I also have a suspiciously large patch of onions growing like weeds all winter. Which is neat, because I never have enough onions. I didn't even "plant" them. I just scattered them around a few places and then totally forgot about them. Nice. Turns out Jesus was right about that. If you're doing it for survival, especially given the yield I ended up with, I would suggest buying at least 3 to 5 packages if you can, and being much more intelligent and diligent about when you plant them, using compost, controlling the pests with Irish spring and similar tricks, giving the pests something else to eat to keep them busy while your plants get started to really give these seeds the best opportunity. The corn and sunflowers were seeded much too late in the year, but did grow anyway. As it is, I've already gotten much more than my money's worth from one pack of seeds, and I've only used about 20% of the package I bought. These are highly recommended. I'm looking forward to buying these again soon because it's still by far the cheapest, easiest way to replenish all the sunflowers, squash and corn I used up. I'm sold. Virtually every seed sprouted. I'm happy with everything I planted. Got compliments on my porch full of little seedlings. I don't know how it all tastes, but I'm told the flavor comes from a combination of good genes and being raising well. May have to update this when I know more. From a prior purchase of similar seeds germinated last year, I know the shelf life is easily 25 years or more if stored properly. Everything I planted germinated. With any more care (less culling and more weeding), I could have gotten a pretty big crop. All told, minimum total investment was less than $30. Less than a bag of groceries. But do I have a bag of groceries worth of produce? Yes. Easily. Despite using the STUN method and only one bag of potting soil, despite using 20% of the seeds, despite planting in the fall and only waiting until April, despite the cold, gloomy winter, despite being forced to stay indoors by the government, I can still fill up a bag with at least $30 worth of fresh, pesticide-free, herbacide-free onions, kale, mustard greens. And I still would have had enough seeds left over to Johnny Appleseed these throughout all my neighbor's yards. It's a no-brainer, IMO. Just look at the other reviews and see. And the instructions. Yes. Those are helpful. Took a look through them and studiously ignored them all. But if you're trying to grow food this year, I'd pay closer attention to those, which were simple, clear, and helpful. (Doesn't tell you how to trap squirrels, though.) I'm also looking forward to getting the medicinal herb pack from these guys. A bit higher price per variety, but still a screaming good deal. My brother (the real survival gardener of the family) planted a couple herbs that happily took over the yard for more than 10 years, managed by nothing but a string trimmer, that were reasonably well-behaved. I'd have to a little clueless not to make that kind of investment again. Put simply, even a badly neglected garden gives you rates of return you'll never see on the stock market.

These are excellent seeds, all I have planted have germiated and come up. I'm very happy and will purchase again.

Good collection

I recently started getting into gardening and wanted to move beyond growing herbs. I'm indecisive, so buying single-type seeds didn't appeal to me. I thought I should start looking at seed collection packets. So I found one that I thought would be a good start. It has some seeds from plants I eventually want to grow and eat, which made the decision to buy this very easy. The packet came with a small booklet with the type of seeds and how to care for them, which I'm currently following. The only downside is that some seeds are bigger than others, so you actually get a limited number for certain plants compared to others. For example, there are 8 bean seeds compared to around 50+ lettuce seeds. However, there are a lot of seeds for certain plants, so I will definitely get years of use from this packet. I started with something easy and decided to grow lettuce, as many people told me it's a great plant to start with, and I love eating lettuce. The lettuce grew quickly, which made me feel better about the rest of the seeds. I'm currently growing in limited quantity as I don't have the space yet, and I'm still moving things around. I'm trying to grow tomatoes, beans, and peas currently. Unfortunately, I think I soaked my peas for too long because they started molding a day or two after I put it in a plastic bag. However, the bean started popping out of its shell less than a day after I put it in a plastic bag. The tomatoes took a bit longer, but in less than a week I started seeing the first leaf sprout! So far, I've been very happy with the purchase, as most of the seeds I've planted are growing. I can't wait to start planting next year. Edit: A few years have passed, and I've started using more of the seeds as I've gotten more room and time for gardening. I had great success with cucumbers and tomatoes last year. I also had a great harvest of beans and peas last fall and earlier this year, so much that I was able to save some seeds for later this year or next year. I find the germination for watermelon (1 out of 4 germinated), cantaloupe (1 out of 4), zucchini (0 out of 6), and pumpkin (1 out of 3) is poor. It could also be that it has been years since the seeds were saved. Seeds do become less viable the longer you have them, so it's encouraged to plant more than you would need. None of the sunflower seeds germinated, but I suspect squirrels.

The seeds took off immediately and sprouted. Literally 5 days later I had sprouts flourishing

I have purchased this a couple times. Some were for gifts and one was for myself. We have all been very happy with the germination rate, and the results from the garden. Lots of yummy vegetables are the result. I recommend it for everyone. And since it’s heirloom seeds, be sure to save seeds from the biggest, best producing plants!

Has all the seeds we will need to start a container garden in the fall. I live in the desert in an agricultural area so fall is when all the farmers grow the vegetables.

It is a great variety of vegetables

Me encantó

Great product

Good germination rate with these seeds

Order these, you're going to need them.
