    Loves the heat

    At first I was disappointed because nothing was sprouting, and when they did sprout they were really struggling. However, once the weather warmed up, they exploded! I ate some of the leaves and also harvested the seeds (which takes forever). It also reseeded quite a bit, as I was finding little plants all throughout my yard. I saved some of the seeds and will be planting them again.

    Seeds look good

    I haven't had a chance to plant them yet as I live in Wyoming and I've been afraid of freezing them.
