I'm a gardener with good intentions that usually wind up with benign neglect, so any plants that survive have earned their place! I thought I'd try these out, and the ones that survived the scavenging squirrels and other critters this year seemed to grow nicely. I will likely have to do a raised bed with fencing to get a more bountiful yield, but that's not anything against the seeds themselves. Overall, it was fun to try out a new vegetable just to see how they'd grow in my yard.
