When to Plant:
- North Florida: September - October & February - March
- Central Florida: September - March
- South Florida: September - January
Germination time: 7 - 14 Days
Days to Maturity: 60 - 70 days
Planting instructions: Plant in a spot with full sun and well-draining soil. Generally, lettuce plants need about 4-10” of space between each other. Larger plants like mustard and collards will need a little bit of extra space than that. Sow directly into the garden or start transplants undercover. Plant seeds about ¼ “ deep and water regularly.

United StatesGrowing Good Food
Overall experience has been good hence the 5⭐️. I purchased the tomato pack, veggie pack and lettuces. The packaging was well thought out. A little cotton bag for the seed packages with one seed package having white markers. I sowed the seeds in biodegradable egg cartons so transplanting in main beds outside should be easy. They have a diy “terrarium” keeping moisture in. All of the seeds I started except for tomatoes are coming up nicely. Disappointed and Not sure what happened here. Looking forward to reaping veggie rewards for the season

So far, I have planted the Arugula and Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce.
United StatesMediocre results
Lettuce and tomatoes did well to varying degrees. The others barely made it or didn’t yield at all. South Florida is a tough growing environment, but these results were not great. Caveat: may be user error
United StatesGreat seeds!
Everything I have planted from u have done really well. Germination has been spot on and the plants seem to love our central FL weather. I will be buying again.
