Sagui 928
It grew nicely. Plan on ordering more for a bigger plot. Going to try and cultivate the seeds next time to preserve.

I'm excited to plant this seed
I had to get my summer garden planted first, but I plan to plant this sagui seed very soon and can't wait to see it growing and watch the birds enjoying it.
