Submitted by Tut3d from Ellicott City, MD "Planted one packet of seeds, and the squirrels and ground hogs got all but five plants. Thank goodness they did, because my family has been eating squash almost every night for five months. Our neighbors will not take anymore, and our families are planning an intervention!! |

 See more: Salvia coccinea Lady in Red |
Submitted by KJHummer "I first saw this salvia at my local garden center. It was being visited by a hummingbird moth at the time. I was really drawn to the red flower spikes and obviously the moth was, too. I grabbed two six packs of it and fit them into spots all around my foundation in hopes I would draw the hummingbirds and butterflies close to the house. It definately worked! Plus the plants grew and thrived despite unseasonably hot, dry weather. In fact, they are blooming even now-the middle of October in Ohio and have survived several light frosts with no ill-effects. They appear to be readily self seeding-as I have found them showing up in between the stones on my walkway. I just let them bloom as they will. Hopefully they will make a return next season and bring the hummingbirds with them!" |

Submitted by stamper from Butler, PA "I have been growing Brussels Sprouts for four years now. I have tried Jade Cross, Long Island Improved, and Tasty Nuggets. Tasty Nuggets far surpasses the others for size and taste. The plants are five to five and a half feet tall with loads of large sprouts. I have been harvesting for about 12 weeks and are still going strong at the end of October. I will definitely plant Tasty Nuggets again next year." |

Submitted by Jefferson "Three plants produced a huge number of peppers and are still producing here in Maryland in October. They are the perfect size for making mini-stuffed peppers for appetizers and we used them in salads all summer. The plants did not get very tall, but rather spread out along the ground." |

Submitted by SunnySue "The flowers in this mix were delightful, from a demure salmon to an attention-grabbing gold. The foliage was a nice contrast to the basil that I had planted next to it. And they had a long flowering season, from July (I planted them in late June) to now (October), and are still blooming!" |

 See more: Hot Pepper Hot Lemon (Heirloom) |
Submitted by Jefferson "Three plants have produced enough peppers for an entire year (and we cook a lot of spicy food). They seem to do well in the mid-Atlantic states. As has been pointed out, you can chose the heat level by watching the color. The flavor does have a mild citrus element to it. We freeze them in freezer bags (whole straight from the garden). We also freeze small containers with peppers chopped in the food processor (look out for the fumes!!). You can make a nice hoagie spread by chopping them and putting them into boiling vinegar. Our chile-loving friends line up for their share, too. These are not just hot--they have flavor. We bought these as plants from Burpee." |

 See more: Tomato Burpee's Supersteak Hybrid |
Submitted by Helen from Philadelphia, PA "I am a Container Gardener. As the summer progresses my deck becomes a vegetable jungle. Among other veggies, I purchased the 3-plant set of Supersteak Tomatoes -instead of seeds. The plants arrived in excellent condition. In May, the plants looked so little in their large containers with big tomato cages surrounding them. It's amazing by mid-August how huge the plants have grown literally hiding the tomato cage from sight. |

 See more: Sweet Pepper Great Stuff Hybrid |
Submitted by Helen from Philadelphia, PA "I do my gardening in containers on my deck. I purchased the 3-plant set instead of seeds. Each plant produced many peppers. The production slowed down a bit during the extremely hot weather but quickly picked up when the temps became more bearable for plants, animals, and humans alike. Most peppers grew as described in the catalog - some grew a little curled but still very edible. The flavor of this pepper (and any homegrown produce) can't be beat, especially compared to the produce sitting in the grocery stores." |

Submitted by Helen from Philadelphia, PA "I purchased the seeds. I prefer to buy the plants but Burpee only carries this product in seeds. I tried several other nurseries but their hot pepper plants sold out early. I was surprised how easy these were to grow. I let two seedlings grow to maturity. The two plants produced, and is still producing, much more fruit than my immediate family can use. Friends and family were happy about that. I will definitely grow these again next year." |

 See more: Eggplant Fairy Tale |
Submitted by midwestgardener from Northwest OH "These are perfect for my cooking and gardening style. I got frustrated with waiting for the few large eggplants I can grow in my limited space, raised beds. I found a wilted lone plant last year at the local gardening center, and it out-produced my other plants combined. So I was delighted to find them at Burpees this year. I was not disappointed. We feasted on eggplant dishes of every variety throughout July and well into August. I do get grubs (that later turn into beetles), but handpicking keeps them under control in my small garden. The plants stopped producing in late August when shaded by a nearby zucchini plant, but when I got them back in the sun, they have started to flower and produce again. If you like Chinese or Indian eggplant dishes, these are for you!" |

Submitted by SamsMom from Kennett Square, PA "Started seeds in peat pots at the beginning of April and planted in the garden mid-May. Started picking zucchini around of end of June and continued till about the end of August. A very productive plant with a great taste, also had enough to share with several of my co-workers. Planted more seeds the beginning of September, in hopes of having a fall crop. I might get lucky, if we don't have a frost. Next year, will start second planting of seeds in peat pots in mid-August so when the first plants are tired I can replace them with fresh ones. That way I will have a jump start on a fall crop." |

 See more: Garlic Early Italian |
Submitted by smilydutchgirl "Last fall was my first time growing Garlic, I used fresh soil already fertilized for vegetable gardening, planted the cloves according to the clear directions, and watered only when the weather was dry, and kept the area weed free. In late fall I was able to harvest some garlic stems that I used in stiffrys, like green onions. Then over the winter it went dorment, and as soon as the ice melted new shoots came up, in spring when I was ready to plant my tomatoes etc, I was able to harvest the garlic, I had heard that it was hard to grow garlic, but every clove I planted turned out to be a nice large bulb of garlic, It is now fall 07 and I am still using the garlic I harvested last spring, I havent had to buy any in the store. This is great stuff!" |
