Poor quality / dead seeds

| Tat4474

I tried two attempts to work with these seeds but they simply don’t germinate. Same for the Italian parsley. Bunching onion only a few sprouted. I still have at least other 10 different herbs I purchased and am wondering if I should discard vs wasting the time. Only had partial success with arugula and all blend lettuce. So far, very disappointing.

Never germinated

| ktbug

I planted these at the beginning of July, using a seed starter kit. Not a single one (planted 10) has germinated. Sooooo disappointing.
