Hi All,

SNV8470 Organic Tomatillo, Pineapple (Ground Cherry) forty seeds planted: zero germination

SNV8414 Organic Summer Squash, Ronde de Nice twenty seeds planed: two germinated

SNV8245 Organic Squash, Summer Early Straightneck fifteen seeds planted: one germinated

SNV4112 Renee's Garden Scallions Delicious Duo a full package planted: two germinated and both died (Walmart's Scallions sprouted like crazy)

SNV8334 Organic Onion, Valencia Full package planed: one sprouted and died

Looks like no tomatillos and no squash this season. I will try replanting from Burpee, but our growing season is so short and I have already lost a month (zone 6c).

I would say to stay away form these folks:

I am shocked when a zuck seed does not sprout. These guys must be a bunch of real screw ups!

I had a very strange experience with tomatillos (first time I've planted them). I planted 4 pots indoors, and only one had sprouts. A couple weeks later I put that tray on the porch so the plants could adjust before I found time to set them in the ground. In a couple days, the other 3 pots had plants.

Very strange.

Tomatillos even survive my Black Thumb! I have had them reseed for two years after I grow them. All over the place -- not where I want them though.

Last year's failed as I was doing an experiment with them. This year was just bad seeds.

I have new squash and tomatillos seeds coming from Burpee.

IMPORTANT: tomatillos do not self pollinate. To get any fruit, you have to have two or more plants. And put them close enough together so they can pollinate each other. I put mine two feed apart. You will also notice that they will branch into each other. I presume it is for pollination.
