David's Garden Seeds Fruit Papaya Sunset 15 Non-GMO, Hybrid Seeds

Most of seeds germinated and now the little plants are almost 2" and doing well. A+++

A few of the seeds did germinate after a while and still small though but I'm guessing its because of the climate that I'm in. These would do much better in a warm environment or maybe if you have a climate control greenhouse. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the seeds as much as as stated the area and because it did eventually germinate I'll give it 4 stars 😀😀

I tried to germinate six of the seeds via the paper towel method. I soaked the seeds overnight then placing them between moist paper towels. The paper towels were then placed in a ziplock bag for moisture control.After about ten days none of the seeds had germinated.I then contacted the seller directly via e-mail asking how they recommend starting Papaya seeds.The answer I got back was “Let's do it the way nature does. Plant in soil about 1/2 deep. Keep the soil at 75. Will take 2 to 4 weeks to germinate. Keep moist.”On April 3rd I planted 12 seeds in a seed tray; on a seedling heat mat with thermostat control. I covered the seed tray with a ziplock bag for moisture control.As of today none of the seeds have germinated.Followed up with the seller again. Answer back "You did not follow my suggestions because you did everything I say NOT to do. Go to our website and read the article on germination tips. They are way to wet. "I had planted the seeds 1/2" deep in potting mix (not "soil"); the soil was kept moist (not too wet) and within the temperature range (for Texas).Zero germination and Zero customer help.
