Customer Reviews
Packaged well, delivered in a timely fashion, about 90% germination. Growing well.
It took a while due to weather issues to plant. Normally I plant 3 seeds to a hill, my dad did, so I do, he would smile and say one each for the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. At 65 years old I smile and think back to those days.
I only planted 2 seeds to a hill to maximize the number of hills. I was over whelmed with their germination. They are still popping out. I have already stuck probably in the 95% range and will not be surprised if the other 5% come up.
I was very impressed.
Up and growing came up and growing real proud
