My seeds arrived in timely manner and seller included planting instructions, which was very helpful. However, my seeds never germinated! I followed the instruction carefully and planted them in a rich garden soil. I am not sure what I could do wrong. I have some gardening experience and never had any problems.

I've never grown these before but I opened the packet and finally started reading the instructions - which I do plan to follow.... I just find it so weird. Soak in bleaching solution for 15 mins then soak in water for another 10. dry them off then soak again before planting. I just hope it works but if it doesnt its ok cause Im not expecting much from these seeds. I'll try and stay hopeful though and pray.

I bought these seeds to experiment with planting asparagus, since I have never seen it growing anywhere. The seeds arrived in a timely manner and Hirts was kind enough to include growing instructions with the seeds. There are also many seeds, so I'm sure I should be able to get a few plants growing. I haven't planted them yet, but I expect a good harvest when I do.

Update:
A few years later (yup) I got around to planting them. I now have three very healthy, very lushly green asparagus plants. Do follow the instructions (though I'm not sure why you'd soak it in bleach...), but they do work. Already, I have lots of little shoots popping up. I can't wait until they get bigger in order to harvest them in bulk.
