Deze zaden voor de 3e keer besteld en gezaaid volgens beschrijving.
Na ruim 3 weken eindelijk maar toch 1 opgekomen (de aanhouder wint dus eindelijk toch).
Beide voorgaande keren kwam er helaas niks uit omhoog.
Het is natuurlijk persoonlijk, maar zou voor mijzelf deze zaden dan ook eerder bestempelen als uitdaging dan als gemiddeld.
