Wunderbar
Hat hervorragend gekeimt und wächst super
Bisher alles super
Ich kann schonmal sagen, dass die Keimrate perfekt ist. Direkt auf die feuchte Erde im Anzuchtset mit Haube, direkt Südseite. Heizkörper gibt von unten wärme und das Wetter gerade spielte in die Karten. Schnell gekeimt, bleibe gespannt und aktualisiere die Bewertung später. Bisher 5 Sterne.
