The Good and the BadSeptember 23, 2008 Matthew Crawford(United States) All the seeds that I planted have sprouted however within the first 2 weeks they all died before any real leaves started to grow.
I have looked very carefully for directions on the internet on how to grow these and I'm following every guideline and even tried not following the guidelines to grow these and still no luck.
Probably won't bother with these again since they don't live longer than 2 weeks no matter what I try to keep them alive.
didn't growSeptember 2, 2008 Alli Miller I got these for my daughter and I to plant together so that they would be ready by the time her birthday came, so that we could give them as party favors. We were so excited to plant them and only ONE sprouted, and then died. We have several plants at home so it's not as though we can't grow anything. We must have gotten a bad batch of seeds....My daughter is very disappointed.
