not verry full of seeds

I bought these seeds in 2023, planted them in 2025. Most (almost all) germinated. Zucchini was planted in February and I had my first harvest now in April, the plant is huge and very tasty harvest. I recommend this for starters, this is my first time having a garden and getting more than just beans. The rest are growing well and starting to produce fruits, some have became food to insects, or our cat stepped on pretty early on killing them. Only seeds I have not planted are the radish (yet). They are worth the cost.

Picture is the zucchini I harvested ( I did not see it under the leaves so it grew bent)

I planted around 30 varieties and all but one (lavender) germinated. However, the thing that has me questioning its authenticity as an heirloom is how fast these seeds germinated and grew. Of the 30 varieties I seeded (indoor) about one fourth of them had fully sprouted on day 2 and by day 3, more than half of them had sprouted and were showing their first leaves. (At the end of day 1, a few had already germinated and broken the surface.) But before the end of 5 days, nearly all of them were sprouted, showing their first leaves, and most were already standing 2-3 inches tall. Far too much growth for heirloom seeds.

I’ve started other heirloom seeds bought from other vendors, some designed for my climate region, and none propagated as fast as these. That’s a good thing for someone who wants to garden with no hassle. But for growers like myself, it is important that the seeds are NOT genetically modified for fast germination and strong propagation (and pest mitigation); I want genuine heirlooms because I don’t want the bad, modified stuff, even if it means I have to wait longer for them to sprout.

So while I am pleased with the speed and success of its germination and growth, I am highly suspicious of the claim that they are heirloom. Heirlooms should not be germinating FASTER than what it shows on the packaging, which is usually 7-10 days (not 2-3) for the majority of seeds. All of my heirloom seeds from reputable seed dealers (non-Amazon) take about a week before sprouting and breaking the surface, and this is under controlled, ideal conditions.

Be cautious if your searching for true non-GMO, heirloom seeds. Judging by some customer reviews and how the vendor swaps seeds or packets, I wonder if these might have been seeds purchased from store and repackaged as “heirloom”. They germinated too well and sprouted too fast to be heirloom. I’m okay with hybrids, as long as they’re between non-GMO heirlooms. I just don’t want genetically modified seeds/plants.

I’ll have to ride out the rest of this season with these plants and either start over new in the late season or next. Either that or save seeds until they generationally revert back to heirloom characteristic, but I doubt I want to wait that long.
