    Good but had mites

    They had a lot of spider mites when I got them. I acted quick enough that they are okay, but it was pretty bad when first delivered.

    Healthy plant. Just in the ground a week. The plants came too quickly and I had to finish prepping the ground lol. They have taken well despite the delay in getting them in the ground. Ask me for a pic in a year
