Big Zack germination problems

jcarter · May 14, 2006

Has anyone tried Big Zack tomatoes this year and did they germinate? I placed about 10 seeds in Jiffy starters and none germinated. Seven other varieties germinated without problem.

I would look to the history of the seeds. like where did you get the seeds instead of the variety.

I started 2 and both popped right up. Last year I started 3 and all came up too. Bought them last year at Totally Tomatoes.

Sorry, I am still getting used to how this forum software works.

The day after I posted my appeal one of the Big Zacks stuck up its little green head. Thank-you.
