No jicama for me this year, nothing germinates out of 5 seeds I started indoor.

I planted the Thai Jicama seeds on February 25th, alongside my own Mexican Jicama seeds that I have planted for a few years. I planted 30 Jicama seeds of each variety in separate containers, using the same batch of seed starting soil, same light source and same water. As soon as they get their second leaves, I normally up-plant to bigger containers. In this case, I have been waiting for the Thai Jicama to sprout. I'm disappointed, as only 9 seeds have sprouted out of the 30 I planted. the Mexican Jicama has 20 seeds that have sprouted out of 30, and they are quite a bit bigger seedlings. I chose to purchase the Thai Jicama seeds, as the description stated they are not only bigger, but sweeter than the Mexican Jicama seeds. The description on the Kitazawa Seed Co. envelope, stated there was 66% germination rate, so I planted more than what I originally was going to plant. I have not received anything close to that germination rate. If anyone else is having a germination problem, I would think that you would consider dropping them as a supplier. I would have not purchased them knowing their germination rate was less than 0ne out of three. What a waste of money! I would have purchased asparagus seeds instead. I would love to send you pictures comparing the Thai Jicama seeds that I purchased from you, and the seeds that I have collected from my Mexican Jicama plants in the past, but am unable to upload a picture. It's very frustrating, as I love Jicama, and depend on it for snacks in the winter time. I would love to give it a better review, but the facts don't lie, germination is a problem.

How to Grow Thai Jicama
Sandy loamy well-drained soil. This is a long growing plant. Start in containers indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost in temparate climates. Plant in the garden after the last possible frost. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Optimum growing temperatures are in the 70s or warmer, this plant is not frost tolerant. Trim the flowers off as they appear, this will keep the vines shorter, and the roots bigger.
Harvesting Thai Jicama
Thai Jicama is fully harvestable at about 6 to 9 months after planting. After a minimum of six months, harvest by digging carefully around the base of each vine, and pull the root out. Trim the vine off the plant, and brush off the dirt.
The harvested jicama will vary in size, but generally will be 5 inches across, but can be bigger or smaller. Smaller roots are fine. Ensure to harvest before the first frost.
Culinary Tips
Jicama can be stir fried with other vegetables, roasted, or baked. They are delicious added raw to slaws or salads, or eaten chopped as an appetizer. One tasty idea is to bake them and serve as Jicama Fries! Wash and rinse, peel completely and remove anything that looks stringy. Slice thickly, then cut the slices into sticks. Season and bake!
