Re reading your original post I can see what you have done wrong.
You said "whilst some have a tiny bit of root growth they have no sign
of sprouting" then you said "they have failed to respond to my email"
That's it you should talk to them not send them Emails, I doubt you left
them a computer when you planted them.

They may have caught a virus from the e-mails.


Or Bob may have planted shallnots in error.
