Notes

Of the initial 10 seeds planted in seedling containers with peat only 4 germinated (01/06/2020), left them inside over winter and they got very leggy (shade/semi-shaded). Transplanted outside sometime in July to get more sun than they were getting inside (Semi-shade). Seperated on the 27/08/2020 as they were all too close together. The last to germinate is still much smaller than the others and will probably be cut off in a month (Spring) when I want more garden bed space. For theoretically being ready to harvest they are very stunted.
