I planted the whole pack and about 75% germinated. They stopped growing once you could see the true leaves starting to form. I was using 100% coconut coir as a seed starting mix. I am not sure if there was a problem with my soil or a problem with the seeds.

The Cherry Falls tomato plants were started indoors and they all survived being transplanted. A few plants gave strongly, then were done. But to my surprise, most of them are starting their second act! They are a delicious way to have home grown tomatoes earlier than your bigger varieties kick in. The skin is a little tougher, but they are mildly sweet and a great snack and in salads.

I planted the entire pkg of seeds and nothing germinated. I'm not sure if they can replace the seeds or not, but I will be contacting them. All the other seeds that I purchased were great.

Cherry falls for me and I bought several packets, online and was lucky enough to find a few packets in Wilco, was a cherry flop. Every other seed I grew and have ever grew from BI has thrived. I grew tomatoes for a good cause this year and out of all the seeds, I got two to actually grow.
