Good, but make sure you protect and stake

Seeds germinated well, but make sure you protect at least the base of the plant. All but one sprout got eaten, so I put up a fence. It grew healthy and tall, but I constructed a poor support system and a storm snapped the plant and killed it. Make sure to invest in proper stake. Soak seeds overnight before planting in order to increase germination rate and speed.

Great blast from the past

It is awesome to see a resurgence of plants that were grown in the past. So much of our food is genetically modified now so it is a relief that Native Seeds is bringing back the wholesome food of our ancestors. The seeds are easy to grow and grow quickly and beautifully. Thank you for a superb product.
