Never sprouted

I ordered multiple seeds of many different vegetables. I sowed about 15 asparagus seeds it's now been over a month and none have sprouted. Meanwhile all my other seeds germinated quite successfully 90-95% rate. Disappointed not a single seed germinated.

Great Seeds!

All the seeds I get from Bentley are great. Not only do we sell their seeds in our Nursery, but we personally use them in our own gardens and they always germinate well and we raise good strong plants.
