"These seeds were great! Out of the 15 planted, 12 sprouted and germination was easy. They grew very quickly. During stage 3 of development, we planted them in the ground. All the plants have rooted successfully and are producing flowers! I believe I will purchase this brand going forward, as last year, my plants died after transplant."
"These seeds were easy to grow and the yield quantity was pretty high so the seeds were healthy! Just be careful not to overwater and be near the sun. If they’re outside bugs may start to eat the plants so watch out! I feel like you can add zucchini’s to anything and it’ll be tasty."
"I recently planted Ferry-Morse Squash Grey Zucchini seeds, and I am thrilled with the results! Within just 10 days, both seeds sprouted into healthy seedlings. After another week, the plants were robust and ready to be transferred to the garden. The young plants are hearty and require minimal care, needing only one watering per day. They have adapted well to their new environment, and I am excited to enjoy fresh zucchini from my garden this year. The quick germination and strong growth of these seeds are amazing. I highly recommend Ferry-Morse Squash Grey Zucchini seeds for anyone looking to grow delicious, fresh zucchini with ease."
"I was sent a packet of grey zucchini seeds in exchange for my honest review. I planted 6 seeds and had a 100% germination rate! The growing conditions haven't been great lately due to lack of rain, but the plants are hanging in there and I am hopeful for a nice yield for the second half of the summer into the fall."
"This was my first time planting a vegetable so it was a learning curve. The squash grew beautifully and was delicious! Love how much bigger they get when you grow at home vs the store"
"These seeds germinated very quickly but my plants didn't grow very well. I have some seeds left over and I think I will try to grow them again next year."
"Not sure how the finish product taste but the seeds look to be growing? They were sent late in planting season. Just getting into gardening and it looks like we have some growth! We planted other things but this was in the area for these seeds. So looks like success!"
"These seeds were very reliable. They grew and made some awesome zucchinis. They were a good darkness, and grew to be several different sizes. Awesome product!"
"It's too late for me to plant this seeds now but hopefully next year I will have a chance to plant them. I did planted other veggies this year though. No more soace for my squash grey zucchini."
"I am so impressed by the way these seeds have sprouted and continued to thrive once I transitioned them to the flower bed! The seeds have grown into beautiful looking plants. I can't wait to update this when my zucchini has grown!"
