I ordered these because I thought I could plant them outdoors in a planter, have no interest in sprouting in jars. Was I wrong?

I suppose you could plant them outside but they are intended for sprouting jar. If you plant the outdoors you will get alphalfa and radishes. :-)

Thank you for your question. The Sprout House sells certified organic non-GMO seeds for sprouting. Our seeds were specifically selected for sprouting. We work with certified organic farmers and suppliers to get fresh seeds for sprouting. I have never grown any of our seeds to a fully mature plant. I do not know what will happen if you do. The Sprout House markets and sells seeds for sprouting. Thank you Sprout Lady Rita

The seeds we plant in planters are the same as we sprout. One will grow into a plant, the other will change the nutritional value that we get from the sprouted seed rather than the plant that will reproduce more seeds or act as a herb. For instance, wheat when sprouted gives you Vitamin C. A radish seed will turn into a radish while a sprout will give us a spicy piece in our salad. Your original plan was correct - happy planting!

These are viable seeds that sprout in water. There should be no reason why they should not sprout in soil if watered and cared for properly.

Yes, I live in zone 6 and started them inside. 3 weeks later they are 2 feet tall in my garden. Build a support for them, water when they look distressed. Good luck

Carole,These did not work for us in outdoor pots, and we followed the instructions carefully. For what I read, they appeared to have worked for others. Perhaps it would depend on how much humidity would be in the atmosphere.. Sorry I could not be more help.. Irene

I bought them because it said that you can plant them. I will be planting mine soon.

I planted them in potting soil in a huge pot because I have poor soil. If you have a garden with regular garden soil it should do. They need a trellis or anything you can provide to climb on and they do climb a lot. Mine grew fom the trellis into the tree. They start fairly early on to bloom and fruit but I think it depends on the climate you have how early it will be. They bear until frost.

I did not. I drilled holes in the bottom and put them in my flower bed next to the house (on dirt). I'm not much of a "tray" person, but honestly, they are beautiful as they are and I think a tray may take something away. Your plants, your call. Good luck.

I let them grow until they started getting a little hard, then I harvested them and made 1 dish. There aren't a lot so might as well eat them all at once. The other side of the box didn't sprout for me.

No, they cannot be put outside. They would die almost immediately. They are very small humidity-loving house plants. I made terrariums with them planting them in clear glass containers that I got at the thrift store. I added decorations and they look very nice. There are many excellent articles on the Internet on how to plant and take care of terrariums, and I referenced several of them. Also, you might put them in a dish garden. Again, there are many helpful articles on the Internet on how to plant and maintain dish gardens. I do think, however, that a terrarium setting would be best for these humidity-loving plants.

I don't know whether or not you can plant these now, but some of mine still sprouted last week since I planted them at May. For my opinion, they are pretty hardy. Maybe you can try to plant them if you live in a sunny and warm area.

Wish I could help you about growing inside. I planted mine outside, in the sun. They create a vine, just like regular cucumbers. But they are burpless and taste like you've sprinkled them with lemon juice. I'd certainly try it.

I planted them in indoor containers. They're pretty fragile so far. They are not "bushy" as the picture shows. Mine are single stalks with a triangular leaf at the top. I thought they would grow like the ones in the picture but so far that's not the case. I guess if I bunched them all together they would look like the picture. I'm pretty sure snow would kill them. I didn't realize they could be an outdoor plant until my sister pointed it out to me from a description she read. I suppose you could try. Good luck!!

I'm no true expert, but they are not for planting. These are baking poppy seeds. If you want to grow them you need to get California poppy seeds. Have a wonderful day:)

They never grew! Waste of your money buying seeds. Go to a nursery, and get the plants. They are kinda expensive, however the spread nicely and are very tolerant... Doing that next year.. No more seeds...

I would imagine you could, as they are organic. I would just adjust the size of them according to your container. I used them in my container garden last year and they worked well, but I used very large pots. Since they're spikes they can easily be broken in half.

Do you have a warm very sunny place to put them if you plant them if so I would go ahead and plant them if not I would wait and place the cuttings in a cool place until spring. I am certainty not an expert on these but, this is what I would do if I had just received them. Hope this helps!

I planted these last season. I didn't really keep track but I would guess that I twice picked 20 - 40 pods of varying sizes a couple of months apart. I planted mine too close together & in raised beds...not a good idea.
