This maybe too early to leave a review but going ahead to let people know that my seeds (Romaine, Bibb, Prizehead, and Buttercrunch along with the free pack St. Clare seeds gave me – thank you!) arrived fast and after I finally got them planted, the seedlings sprouted within 4-5 days. I had to place a plastic sheeting over my raised garden bed to create a greenhouse environment to help the sprouts grow the first 7-10 days. They are growing nicely now. Now, I just need to keep the squirrels out of it! I am using a mosquito netting with hopes it will help. Praying for God’s help for a bountiful harvest!
