"I like that Ferry-Morse provides seeds that can be used for gardeners of all skill sets. A good amount of seeds come to a pack in the turnip seed set and the instructions make them easy to plant. The seeds are affordable which makes them accessible to a lot of people. I will be repurchasing these seeds!"
"Well this isn't the greatest time to plant these but i used this as directed. The package size was as expected the packaging was nice n durable. The germinate process went as expected. Not sure how it will come out."
"Very excited to add these to my garden. Super easy to plant and comes with just the right amount. Definitely a must to start a garden. Comes with instructions to plant."
"Excited for my little garden to start with turnips! The seeds are tiny, akin to poppy seeds. I put them in a biodegradable container with soil to get them established first. The soil in my area of Texas is a bit tricky, so I'll bury them once they sprout! According to the packet, it should take about a week. Fingers-crossed & I'll add another picture in a week!"
