"These squash plants are a must-grow in my garden every year. Great germination and easy to grow! I grow them in tomato cages because they can grow two-three feet tall. They are very productive in garden soil enriched with compost; the plants grow fast. Delicious! Fried squash slices are the best!"
"Excellent products"
"I just grew six of these in my garden these are very delicious and they grow in great condition I just harvested one and we cooked it and the flavor was absolutely delicious. "
"I’m sure these seeds are great, but I wasn’t able to plant them in time. Maybe next year. I wish Influenster didn’t offer campaigns such as this because there are just too many variables."
"I could tell these seeds were of excellent quality. The germination rate was impressiveâ€â€nearly every seed sprouted within a week. The plants grew vigorously and were resilient, even in less-than-ideal soil conditions."
"I planted a couple of seed in 2 places on my garden. Both have come up and are growing well. I've harvested two squash from one plant and have a couple almost ready on the other, the time to harvest on the packet is accurate. The squash have tasted great too."
"The seeds look great, and the package came with enough for a few squash plants, and they are coming in great so far. Yellow squash are my favorite, and im excited to try them. They look like they should be good enough to eat in about a month!"
"I have been getting myself into gardening and these seeds have been a nice addition. The package came intact and with descriptions on how long it takes to germinate best practices for growing very helpful. Every seed that I planted terminated and I was thoroughly impressed usually when gardening I have some duds. It's nice to know these are organic and I'll have to update once my flowers turn to squash. I'm excited for this patch. They are doing well outside."
"These seeds are top quality! I was surprised how quickly these were able to germinate and start growing! I can't wait til the squash start to pop out so I can try those! Super happy with this seed brand!"
"The garden is growing but I didn’t put these in quick enough to give a review on the yield. So far no pests. I’m excited to try them when they are ready to eat."
