## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are they suitable to be grown in shade?**
A: They can tolerate some shade but mine are grown in full on a south facing plot. We harvested for months and found they were frost resistant until we had a -18c frost.

**Q: Can I use the seeds for growing microgreens?**
A: You can use all seeds for this as they are just harvested when they are young. Beetroot seeds are excellent for this as they are full of flavour and nutrients.

**Q: How many seeds in the packet**
A: There are approximately 50 seeds in the packet. If you need to know this about any other packets, just click on the 2nd image which shows the rear of the packet. Seed quantity and other information is available there.
