Finally! Found the one., November 21, 2007
Submitted by LakeErieGarden from Lorain, OH

"I have been experimenting with different peas for a few years now and this is the one that gets the real estate in my garden from now on. This is much better than the Super Snappy which I did not like even as much as the Sugar Snap. They engineered this one right on the money."

Great Basil for Pesto, November 18, 2007
Submitted by MiamiGardener from Miami, FL

"I started growing this last year and i like it as much as the green basil. I've grown it both in the garden and container. Living in Florida, I like it better in the containers, less bugs eating it up.
I just made some fresh pesto and it was delicious. I don't think its that mild as the description said... Here's the recipe I used:
3 cups basil, 2/3 cup Parmesan, 2/3 cup olive oil, 3 garlic cloves, 4-5 peeled walnuts. put everything in the processor and thats it. Then mix with some alfredo or marinara sauce and serve with your favorite pasta. DELICIOUS!! (The recipe is just a guideline, u might want to add more parmesan or oil; suit to ur taste)."

Delicious and prolific, November 22, 2007
Submitted by yrralluap from Stillwater, PA

"This pepper quickly became my all time favorite. Very productive. We eat them freshly picked, in salads, and my favorite, roasted and stuffed with cheese. They have very few seeds, so I just cut a small slit in the side and throw them on the grill for a few minutes until the skins are slightly wrinkled and charred. Then we either eat them like that or slip a strip of cheese into the slit and let it melt for a minute or so, then sprinkle with a dash of salt and serve hot.
The 8 plants we raised yielded hundreds of peppers well into the fall season and still had flowers on them when frost killed them in October."

Best Honey Dew, November 11, 2007
Submitted by IowaGardner from Iowa

"If I was limited to only one honey dew melon, the Venus would be it with no doubts. This melon produced constantly through the season so I had fresh melons all the time. The vines were vigorous and the melons were larger than advertised. They were simply delicious with firm flesh and fantastic flavor. Several weighed in excess of 10 lbs. I highly recommend this melon for anyone."

Still producing!, November 14, 2007
Submitted by WillyNilly from Chicago Illinios

"It's November 14th and I am still harvesting this wonderful lettuce mix! With a fairly mild fall so far my fall season has been extended. Fall is a great time to plant this mix. Seems like it's a little better in fall. I have been enjoying fresh lettuce since early September. I highly recommend this mesclun mix. I don't think enough people grow lettuce. It's a great return on investment as lettuces can be pricey. Can't wait to grow again next year!"

This is your first tomato, November 4, 2007
Submitted by LakeErieGarden from Lorain, OH

"I have grown this and other heirlooms now, this may be the best, I don't know I always change my mind as to what is best but I know this. You will be hard pressed to find a better tasting tomato. For those of you who have never experimented with the black varieties, it will be like the first time you have even had a tomato when you taste these. Black Krim always gets some real estate in my garden and always will. Try it, you'll see."

Best of them all?, November 4, 2007
Submitted by LakeErieGarden from Lorain, OH

"I grow new varieties of eggplant every year. This is an AAS winner for a reason. FANTASTIC! I mean, I really don't mix words. Best eggplant I have ever had. Wish they were bigger though. These really produced well and I am glad they did. My neighbors, friends and family could not get enough."

Slow and steady won our hearts, October 27, 2007
Submitted by Tut3d from Ellicott City, MD

"Tried these as an alternative to regular sized peppers. Ordered a set of three plants, and placed in a little used corner of my patch. Plants set fruit right away, but consistently dropped them. Just about to give up on them, when late in the season, BOOM! Plants doubled in size, and I began taking fully ripe baby bells off 8-10 at a time, most even bigger than the photo! Stuffed them with some ground lamb and feta, paired with a fresh tomato and cucumber salad, some Cypriot white wine and fresh raspberries from my bushes, and friends and family seemed to spend more time at our house.. Hmm I wonder why? Try these little wonders, you will not regret it. I still have enough from three plants that I am going to pickle them."

A great find, October 23, 2007
Submitted by GardenMae from New Castle County

"These seeds grow quickly and produce strong plants. My garden is in a wind tunnel, but these plants withstood what the others could not. The peppers are absolutely delicious and really are hotter than other jalapenos. I plan to plant an entire raised bed of these next year so that there will always be ripe fruit."
