I am writing this review about a month after I bought these seeds. Almost all seeds germinated. I didn’t use any manure or fertilisers. Normal soil and regular watering on alternate or third day is the key. Unfortunately I lost some of the plants during re-plantation from their germination trays. Rest are growing faster.
