Germination
 
What is the success rate of typical store bought garden vegetable seeds to
germinate, and sprout?
The ones I tried from a local feed store are around 66 - 70 percent
successful.
One bag of spinach seeds, all nine of nine seeds failed. Planted side by
side, same soil, with tomatoes and lettuce. Tried same brand last year,
same results with the spinach tried twice last year.

Tried a different seed supplier brand name. These spinach seeds seem
bulkier. Suspect the prior version was all hulls, no seed.
