Submitted by Charity from Central PA "I live in Central PA, and I planted this Hollyhock mix last year. The plants have performed beautifully in full sun and in dry clay soil! Of the 4 Hollyhocks I have planted, there is one each of magenta, yellow and pink. The fourth is about to bloom so I am hoping it is white! :-)" |

Submitted by Chestnut from Northwest, OH "I got great lettuce out of this packet! I sowed a row every two weeks and am still getting lots of lettuce from the older rows. I was disappointed my lettuce blend doesn't look like the picture though: I got Crispy Frills, Royal Oak Leaf and Salad Bowl just fine; Lollo Rossa was a very slow grower and leaves got never got bigger than 2"--they were also green with reddish brown near the edge not the deep red that's in Burpee's picture . My perfect Little Caesar romaine was smooth leaved vs. the bumpy leaves in Burpee's picture. I don't think I got any Matchless. Anyhoo, this is still easy to grow and provides lots of mild flavor for salads and sandwiches, etc." |

Submitted by willow from Holiday,Fl. "I have grown this vine for years. My daughter in law brought me one single vine and I planted it beside my chain link fence. It bloomed that summer and every year after that. Because I live in Fl. it spreads it's own seeds and comes up every year thicker and more beautiful then the year before. It's like a sprinkle of lush red flowers dotting a blanket of green feathery foliage draping over my fence. It's just beautiful." |

Submitted by formyCyn from Poplar Grove, IL "Easy to setup and with a timer it becomes automatic and works wonders on seedlings. This set up makes growing seedlings effortless. Finally, I have found a high quality, fair priced growlight kit. With this, I was able to finally beat my neighbor to the garden with bigger, stronger, well developed plants. He was amazed at their size and healthiness. Thanks." |

Submitted by CAGardener from Northern CA "This pea is very easy to grow and produces like a champ. This summer (2008) I planted a packet left over from last year's order, and had great succes. Just harvested enough today (June 7) for dinner from a planting done in mid-April. I also like the fact that this is a dwarf version, as I can combine it with other veggies in my raised beds and not have too much trouble with the vines shading my other plants. You have to try this pea!" |

Submitted by CAGardener from Northern CA "I used to grow this variety years ago, and found that they were very suseptable to powdery mildew. After seeing them last year (2007) in the Burpee catalog I thought I would give them another try, and boy, am I glad I did! No problems with mildew this time, and what a producer. Great mild taste (just like I remembered), and I had cukes through the end of September. I planted them again this year (2008) and the vine is doing well even with our unusually cool early summer weather. I recommend that you grow these on a trellis/fence as it just makes it easier to see and pick the fruits once the plant starts producing (I use tomato cages for my cukes and have no trouble at all with them). All-in-all I would go ahead and give this unusual looking cuke a try." |

Submitted by SoupAddict from Cincinnati, OH "Sunflowers are my favorite flowers, and the Teddy Bear is tops of the tops. My sunflowers are already taking off, providing gorgeous blooms, and am looking forward to a beautiful summer of enjoying these babies. The seeds were easy to start and the plants have been healthy and strong. This is my first year growing them, but their performance thus far has already guaranteed them a spot in the garden next year!" |
