Calypso performance

Planted the day after arrival with other beans. Maybe 20 percent came up a disappointment. Have planted other beans in their place.

Thanks for your review, Jerry. We're sorry you had disappointing results with your Calypso seed. We will be in touch about a refund or replacement.

Seed no good.

The Jacob’s Cattle where not viable. This makes my third time using Thresh seed and no luck yet.
I planted 300 seed and only 11 germinated.
I will not bother buying these again.

My first time planting beans and an amazing success

I planted these indoors in a small seedling tray, twelve units. All twelve plants came up amazingly fast. The germination rate was staggering compared to our sorghum and calendula. I have to verify when I started them--maybe start of June. But all plants already have flowers and half have pods. I am thrilled with these beans.

I just checked--they were delivered May 30th and I planted them within a day or two of receiving them. So they should be ready at the end of August.

Thank you for being an excellent seed supplier!!!

Thanks for your review, David. We just love hearing success stories like these! I'm so glad your calypso beans are thriving and I'm excited for your harvest...shelling calypso beans is a blast!

Hi Nancy, thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry you had trouble with germination. I will be in contact about a refund or replacement.
