The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
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.
