Update!!!
UPDATE: So as it turns out... the seeds WERE popping, although still growing, which apparently CAN bust out a perfectly good coconut bowl, as it happened again with my new ones🤦🏼♀️ so I'm giving back some stars, still took off one for them arriving cracked🥣These cannot possibly be real coconut shells, although I don't see how wood would do this either🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ I had purchased them to grow the wheat grass for my furbaby, had only used moist soil and the seeds, and then for the next hour was hearing LOUD popping noises from the other room! Figured the seeds were old and no longer viable, so I threw out half a bag and ordered more... a waste of money now that I know it wasn't the seeds at all, it was the bowls🤨 this morning I saw the grass HAD sprouted, and the bowl had EXPLODED! The 2nd bowl was still unused in the cupboard, and when I checked, it, too, was cracked... returned immediately, and wasted $5 worth of seeds for nothing! See pix, not even exaggerating here😂
