Excellent!
Grew in the Mojave high desert throughout the summer heat in full sun under 30% shade cloth with no issues. Nice light flavor, not bitter like other leafy greens get in the heat. I can eat these raw and they’re always good! Sautéed them with tomato, onion, peppers, herbs, and cooked tepary beans for 20-30 minutes and made the most delicious and easy dish! Definitely found a new garden staple for summers here when so little will grow well.

Beautiful Majestic Plants.
I grew these last year and had two great tall monuments in my garden for almost a year. I didn't yet try to grow them this year

Not great germination
I am growing in a 7 gal. Grow bag, partial shade, kept moist. Maybe I did not sow thickly enough. Have not gotten enough/big enough plants to try in salads yet but sure it will be delicious. Putting the rest of the seeds in this week to see if I get a better result.
