Yeah, that's the question here. I was pretty sure they'd sprout, but have no idea if they will fruit, and if they do, what it will be. Might even be a potato for all I know...

Just a simple experiment...

Looks good! You got a bit earlier start than I did! I wasn't looking to have a garden this year, but just needed to try this.

I hope it works. If it does I am so going to try it. We really liked those when I bought them a week or so ago.

Hopefully our plants bare fruit. Last year our crop sucked

Well.... experiment over. For this year, anyway. Went out of town, thought it was supposed to rain a few times, apparently never did. All the seedlings dried out, nothing but crispy little wisps now...

Then what? Transfer them to peat and not soil? Like a peat pellet type of thing?
I'm confused. don't you know somebody who grows plants for a living?
