    This was one of the super rare cases where my seeds from Eden Brothers didn’t go as planned. I tried two rounds hoping to get some seedlings going, but they failed to germinate. Will still continue to choose Eden Brothers first, but may try this particular variety from starts instead of seed.

    I planted two rows of these seeds, staggered by 2 weeks. At least 4 weeks later, there was no evidence of germination. On the other hand, seeds from Johnny's germinated within 2 weeks time. I redid the nonproducing rows with Johnny's cippolini seeds. I am confused about this performance especially because Eden bros. seeds for other crops did perform as expected.
