Black

Ordered the 6 low desert varieties (2 black, 2 tan, 2 white).
Planted 3 days before the spring rains at end of April. They did everything else. Gave supplemental water twice. Harvested first of July. Generous and consistent number of seed pods on each plant. Estimating 1 serving per plant. Excellent no-fuss resiliant harvest!

Started them in early Agust now early October.
Will try again come spring.
Planted in Lubbock, TX.
