"Love receiving these seeds as I am an avid gardener. Packaging was standard and easy to open even with gloves on and in terms of planting I spaced them out to give them enough room for growth. I'm excited to see them grow overtime and I'm sure they'll be a lovely addition to my garden."
"I love how colorful these are coming in. I can tell from the vibrancy of the color that the flavor is gonna be on point. They're growing fairly well in my area. I haven't noticed a lot of pest on them and so I'm excited to see how many or the quantity I will get from this plant."
