Growing great on my garden
Incredible germination rate and so easy! Plus makes the summer Florida garden look not so bare. Will be ordering every year!
A 10th of the seed I spread came up, only used a quarter of the package.
Will save for next time, already planting for fall. Positive thoughts!!
It is such a great surprise mix! I loved planting it and waiting to see what came out of the soil. The crops grew fast and they're currently shading my planters. It's also a great way to rest during summer. I only had to sprinkle the seeds on the soil and make sure they're well watered if it didn't rain that day, so not only the soil gets to rest, but my back too!
I will be definitely getting them back next summer.
Great propagation! I used in one of my raised beds that has been sitting empty this summer. Seeds came in strong and are providing nice cover in this crazy summer heat! I plan to chop and drop in September when I get ready to plant.
