Didn't come out as great as the flower seeds, a bit disappointed, but I did order more haven't planted them yet. I plan on doing the planning in early spring to see if they come out better. I'm very happy with the company and there products, since I'm a beginner just trying out gardening. I will see if this makes a difference. Fast delivery...I plan to order more seeds when spring comes around.
