Back to the Roots 100% Organic Seed Packet - Watermelon 'Crimson Sweet' 1.7gUSDA Organic

These seeds were awesome! Everything germinated and grew as expected... until some of them didn't stop growing! They competed with my tomatoes and the one reached FIVE feet in height and tipped over from it's own weight. They are all beautiful though!

I recently tried the Back to the Roots Mint 'Peppermint' Seed Packet, and my experience falls somewhere in the middle. While it has its merits, there are some aspects that left me wanting more.On the positive side, the 140mg seed packet is generous and provides a good number of seeds for planting. The seeds themselves appear to be of good quality, and I had a decent germination rate when I planted them.Growing peppermint at home is a delightful experience, and the fresh aroma it adds to my space is wonderful. Plus, having access to homegrown mint is a real treat for making teas and adding flavor to various dishes.However, I did encounter some challenges. The packaging and instructions could be more detailed, especially for beginners. I would have appreciated clearer guidance on planting and care, as it took some trial and error to get the best results.Additionally, while the seeds did germinate, the growth rate seemed a bit slow compared to other herbs I've grown. It required patience, which may not be ideal for those looking for quick results.Overall, the Back to the Roots Mint 'Peppermint' Seed Packet is a decent option for those interested in growing mint at home. It provides a good quantity of seeds, and once established, the mint plant is a joy to have. However, the lack of detailed instructions and the somewhat slower growth rate prevent me from giving it a glowing review. It's a middle-of-the-road choice for home gardeners.

Good enough germination but very slow coming up. These may be old seeds. Doing fine now, making lots of squash for the table this fall.

I planted these seeds at the same time and in the same way as some onion seeds that were two years old. The old pot is doing much better than the new seeds.

I always drop new seeds into water before planting so I can determine how many are viable. My packet had about 95% good seeds. Basil can be very tricky to grow, but I managed to get a few good plants out of them. Very fragrant and tasty leaves. For the effort and outcome, though, buying a grocery store living Basil, splitting it up and cultivating it properly probably results in greater cost efficiencies.

I purchased these to try in my hydroponics station. After just three days I already have sprouts! The hydroponics station definitely helps with their growth, but I’m relieved that the seeds are viable.

Only a few seeds germinated and then they died off!

Germinated successfully but then died in ground. I'll give it another try tho.
