I am new and had better luck with getting a bag of roots and putting those in dirt! This is a seed that will be small and delicate year 1 and amazing year 2. Love the quality but I would not start these by seed again. Taking away a star has nothing to do with the seeds-just as a newer gardner I found it not as easy as other seeds I started!
