Customer Reviews

Seeds a no-show
I am an extablished gardener with a massive garden. We did not receive one sprout from this packet. Very disappointed.

We have sponges!
I didnt actually think we would get sponges out of this. I thought for sure that we would be making funny looking bird houses out of these, but sure enough-- we let the suckers turn color on the vines, and after cutting them off and letting them dry out, we peeled back the skin and found spongy material inside. The seeds just fell out, and we rinsed them, bleached them, and now we have cute little sponges to give for gifts or use at home. Prolific and wonderful. Once danger of frost is over, just stick them in the ground about 1 1/2 inch and water well and then ignore for about a month except for watering and you'll get a sprout. Dont even bother with seed starter mixes-- they'll rot.
