I have been growing tomatoes from seeds for many years and this year, I wanted to try my hand at these heirloom varieties. I bought several packs of seeds and planted according to the instructions that came with my order. I planted approximately 80 seeds, in 2 separate plantings, hoping I would get at least 10-20 good, healthy plants. Unfortunately, after a month of waiting, not one seed has germinated. I purchased a packet of regular tomato seeds from a local nursery and planted them along with the seeds from Tomato Fest, using the same type of growing medium, same conditions, etc. and out of a packet of about 20 seeds, I now have 12 plants growing. I am so disappointed that none of the heirloom seeds germinated. I will not purchase from them again.
