Comments regarding Roll Out Flowers (Garden Innovations, LLC)

Well, I bought mine at the end of 2014, on sale because the season was over. I kept the packages in the refrigerator over the winter to keep seeds fresh. I planted according to the instructions late this spring of 2015 with low expectations and to my surprise they are doing great, so many plants that I will have to thin them. I have paid very close attention to never letting the mat dry out and watered it at least twice a day and usually three times a day. I also covered the mat with chicken wire so the squirrels wouldn't dig in it and therefore I haven't had any problems with the birds getting into it either. I think it's been fun and will plant them again. Oh, another thing I did, before I rolled out the mat I put down a 1/2 inch layer of fine seed starting potting soil so the mat would have good, smooth contact with the soil which is always important for seed germination and success with tiny seedlings.
