Extremely pleased w/ first time seed starting cosmos, first time soil blocking. These and 4 other types of cosmos from TGW sprouted in 24 hrs on a heat mat. I was giddy w excitment. Mid-late July planting out. I may not get any blooms, perhaps a few. For all the firsts, and keeping them alive to get to plant out, I consider it all success. I have enjoyed the new experience of L.M.Z’s process of growing flowers. Thanks TGW.
