Pretty much everything has come up now except the anaheims and
jalapenos , but they'll get there . Some of the tomatoes are almost
4" tall now . Hopefully I can get to the end of February before I
have to go to the 4" pots . By then I'll have my "little greenhouse"
built onto the south side of the house and will have room for them .

That sounds pretty normal for a given package of seeds.

Several years ago my gave up on buying packages of Blue Lake pole
green bean seed. Usually 3 out of 8 plants would be some other kind
of bean. So now we let some of the pods mature and save their seeds
for next year.
Last year we planted acorn squash seeds. Pulled all but two. One
turned out to be cross with a pumpkin. Huge acorn squash that were
hollow and tasted like pumpkin. Deer got all the rest.

Each seed in a tomato is from a different particle of pollen on the
mother flower. You never know where the insect has been before it got
to the flower that was the source of your seed.

My wife has some tomato plants germinated and a couple of egg plants.
Still 2 months away from when we can work the garden and plant the
early stuff here in the Central Oregon desert.
