"The seats really haven't grown yet because in this Texas heat it's quite hard for anything to grow with barely any water, but it was easy instructions at least to be able to plant this on my own outside of my little garden. I did plan it in a few smaller pots first before transferring it to a larger pot. It didn't have any sort of pests coming towards them, but it was also just taking a bit longer to harvest, especially during spring time."
"Easy to plant. Looks like good quality seeds. Using a UV light and my little greenhouse to grow seedlings. Hope to grow a decent plant for home recipes. We'll see what 1 plant will harvest and plant the rest of the seeds for larger batches."
"I just started using my Ferry-Morse Cayenne Pepper long slim, and I am really happy with them so far. The seed looks fresh and good quality. I appreciate the packaging because they are clearly labeled and easy to use. Planting them was simple and I feel like this is a great option for beginners like me. I also love the fact that the Cayenne Pepper is something that I could use in my cooking so this will definitely be use and it is worth growing them at my home. I am excited to see them sprout and grow."
"I received this product for free from Ferry-Morse Seeds and Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I planted two seeds, Cayenne Long Slim Organic Seeds, per pod in my hydroponic kit to be safe, better odds that at least one sprouts. I color coded my pods (cayenne = red) so that I don't' mix them up with my other peppers My beat up / well used hydroponic kit only has 7 slots so organization within this small planter is super important, especially when it comes time to harvest. The seeds look healthy and were easy to germinate. Can't wait to see how these cayenne seeds sprout and grow indoors."
"Planting my seeds can't wait to see how my peppers grow I will post again when they start sprouting I will transplant in to larger pot once they pop up"
"I have always had amazing luck with Ferry Morse seeds. They never fail me and I always get a harvest when I I use this brand. I live in Florida and have nutrient dense soil. I can't wait to harvest these. My plans are make my own cayenne pepper spice for the first time."
"Love that these are organic! The seed packaging shows a clear image of the peppers and simple instructions on the back. Started seedling and it's going well! I'm looking forward to harvesting in a few months."
"Great"
"Sad to see the 1 star review as I went out of my way to purchase these seeds when Home Depot didn't have any. The packaging is a little different on these now but my little seedlings are looking stronger from these new seeds than my old batch I planted. I'm a novice gardener and yet had a large enough batch from one plant to create some hot sauce and store some in the freezer... It was awesome! Check it out on Instagram @Putzinator for more proof! ;)"
"The delivery was impressively fast, and the seeds had been planted. We are excited to see the outcome of the product as we trust in the power of Mother Nature to do her work."
