Thanks for the useful info! I've seen the image of the Rarámuri type, and it seemed to have lots of chickpea pods, but that might be because it's adapted to the environment. With all I've heard about Kabouli-type chickpeas, I feel like I might have made a mistake by buying them. However, I...

Thank you! With this information, I'll probably start the plants a bit early indoors.

This is a little thread showcasing any funny reviews you stumble upon while looking at seed company sites. Maybe someone obviously failed at growing a plant, or maybe they're hilariously referencing the plant's effects. Either way, when the reviews are funny, share them here. I'll start with a...

Itsy-bitsy!! :] Thank you, Russ Crow! I'll be growing these in large containers when April starts.

Can you keep me updated on that?

You seem to be in Michigan. Great Lakes Staple Seeds has a lot of articles that might be helpful for you, but they're mainly focused on grains. On this note, if you're buying seeds from a company located far away from you, adapt their instructions appropriately for your area.

A bunch of lil corn kernels of different varieties!! I'll add more as time goes on.

Apologies for my absence! Have this drawing I drew of a Transformers character who is a plant.

Peas: I am a legume. I will survive 15 degrees and only lose 1 (one) pod. :] You can count on me! Peanuts: I am a legume. I was domesticated in an extremely hot area. One flash of 25 degrees out can kill me. I am so sorry.

Nice warm colors on this one!

Cool, punk squash!

Like little ducklings!
