Vates Collard Green Seeds - 500 Seeds Non-GMO

Great price

The Seed Plant seeds have always given good results for me. I wish Kale seeds were offered.

I had a VERY LOW germination rate for these - about 10%. I had one entire row that had NO germination at all (direct sow). I had also started some in cups with the same issue. I planted 3 per cup in 12 cups and only 2 plants came up. And that being said, they ARE NOT collard sprouts. As with another review, I had some yellow seeds (?) mixed in with the collard seeds. I'm wondering if that's what sprouted in the cups. I have let them continue to grow as I am curious what exactly they are. I also got broccoli, cabbage, cucumber, onion, tomato, watermelon, and celery seeds from this company with mixed results. The cabbage, cuke, and onion did not germinate well at all. Basically a waste of time and money.

I am that person... who counted the seeds (sorry!). Advertised as 500 seeds I believe but it was closer to 400. I suspect that the crushed (yellow/light tan) pieces in the picture made up the 100 that were missing from the count. The paper seed pack arrived with no protection in a normal envelope so they could have been crushed before or during shipping.I planted the seeds directly in the soil outside 2 seeds per hole 1 ft apart (4 holes) and I think I may have planted them a 1/4in too deep (whoops). I had one hole where neither seed sprouted. One hole had both seeds sprout, so I seperated them and the other two holes each had 1:2 of the seeds germinate, so we have about 50% success rate and I ended up with 4 sprouts from 8 seeds. I lost one seedling in bad weather. The other three sprouts are still doing ok, but I am hoping for growth spurt soon! These are 2 week old sprouts right now circled in red (the x is where one was but it died right after a bad storm damaged it). I sowed my seeds at the end of May in zone 7 in a cinder block raised bed filled with leaf mulch, Miracle Grow in-ground planting mix, black cow, and mushroom compost (NC Piedmont area). I plan to harvest and plant again this fall.

Mine are growing like crazy.I started seed in cups and had great results with sprouting.

Very good germination rate and good tasting product. I am 100% satisfied!

Can't really say the seeds are just starting to sprout.

The product came in a timely manner and the package is really nice.I will resubmit a review when I see how the seed germinate.Actually that’s the most important thing.Satisfied with the product so far.
