I’ll let you know when h grow them. Could be carrots or beans in there I haven’t even opened the package and don’t plant to until I plant them next spring.
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
