Okay I just added more pictures of the little plants. They are doing great. Keeping them inside the plastic zip lock bags. They really like the moist warm environment.:nanadrink:

Amazing Susan!!! I always get some seeds to give me something to do over winter! Your making me want to start early lmao.

I will be trying the jars for sure! I never get results this good! I think fresh seeds are the most important part! That is usually the hard part! Finding fresh seeds!

Please keep us updated!

They need a bit more light they look very stretched; they shouldn't need support.
