no luck – only one small sprout which did not survive. Tried indoor, outdoor, in soil, in container, in hydroponic garden. Went through over half of the seed pack without result. No problems with other vegetables ordered from this site, but this did not work.

Not to much luck with the spinach. The lettuce seeds you sent were amazing. I had 8 harvests and 10 times more of gathered seeds for spring. I wish the spinach was like the lettuce.
