So I order several different types of bird seed from SeedsNow. All came in and I got some freebies.

Since this is my first time I started with the free beans.

I attempted to germinate the (5) in a cup of water then to a paper towel. Not one of them popped. Continued my attempts to pop them over 5 days not one root.

Did some other freebeis the same way and all of them popped. Am I doing something wrong here or does this happen often with freebies. Kind of a free for all and the percentage of them popping is low. Is why they where free?

Thanks
