So pretty!
Such a beautiful plant. I only wish I'd planted more. I haven't used it for anything except it's beauty so far. Nothing has bothered it - not the heat, humidity, dry spells, wet spells, chilly nights, nothing.

Rabbits love this
I had two plants doing great, but rabbits discovered them and ate to the ground. We will see if they come back or I’ll try again next year.

Seeds from Pinetree
we are not sure yet how well the seeds performed. will have to wait untill they are visible enough to detect. Cat knocked over trays and mixed everything up. i think they are doing well. Other things we purchased like, black comino and gypsy brocoli are doing fine... also received some tobacco and it is actually growing as well.
the jicama only grew two plants but we are at 8,000 feet and have a short season
but so far, am content with the materials we recieved from you
other than the estevia it never came up at all... however, this late in season i would purchase some already growing plants f you have them
Thanks
