5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) You Have GOT to try this!!!, April 21, 2008 Submitted by KellyRN from Corpus Christi, TX "I was very happy with the products that I have been using but when I began using "Sea Magic" I was amazed with what it did to my plants at one tenth the price. It was just about time to pull out my winter tomatoes and put in the spring plants when I recieved this product in the mail. I had been fairly disappointed with the winter plants and had decided to go with a different type this spring. Being new to gardening, I go by the "live and learn" motto. On a whim, I sprayed the sickly looking plants with this product and in about 10 days they had revived and had so much new growth on them that I decided to put a hold on the spring replanting and wait and see what happened. That was about 8 weeks ago and this morning I had to dig through massive folliage to harvest tomatoes ranging from 9 to 19.5 ounces. Now those are some big tomatoes even by South Texas standards. I have used "Sea Magic" on just about everything in my garden and I have yet to be disappointed by it as I have seen average plants grow into monsters and sickly plants bounce back to health. I am having to give away my Herbs because I haven't got the time to process them at the same rate that they are growing and it is still April. If you are on the fence about spending the money to try out this product... Do it!! If you know of a budding gardener or even one that is an expert get this product for them and they will be absolutly thrilled with the results."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) My favorite tomato of 2008, January 17, 2008 Submitted by BurpeeExpert from Doylestown, PA "I love the smooth, silky texture and mild sweet taste of this one. It slices up perfectly and has just the right ratio of gel to solids. The color is just gorgeous – it’s a rich, deep raspberry color quite different than either the pink or red tomatoes you usually grow. It’s my favorite of our 2008 tomatoes."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Excellent tomatoes, April 13, 2008 Submitted by willyb from SE Michigan "I bought these plants last year. We had an abundance of excellent, firm, smooth, juicy tomatoes in spite of our hot, dry summer. There were still blossoms and young fruit when I pulled the plants in October. These are the only sauce-type tomato I will grow in the future. My only complaint was that I had way more tomatoes than I and my neighbors could possibly use!"

There great in hanging baskets. Keep in my greenhouse and plant all year. With the tiny seeds I collect them and plant. The flavor in tea is also great. Even chewing the leaves is good too. Not sure if they will raise your sugar level. With the runners that hang down, the root also."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Gorgeous - Even in Part-Shade, April 7, 2008 Submitted by Mxstressica from Ellicott City, MD "The plants grew tall and strong in no time, and didn't bow in the rain. The ones I had on the porch had longer-lasting blooms because I watered them from the bottom... the rain makes the blossoms a tiny bit slimy and faded when the plant isn't in full sun to dry out quickly, but the flower display doesn't really suffer because of it. The color is light and gorgeous, and it really brightens up an area that has partial shade. Be sure to use some kind of slug prevention... they LOVE this plant."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Huge Beautiful Flowers, April 7, 2008 Submitted by Mxstressica from Ellicott City, MD "The flowers begin to bloom at dusk and positively GLOW at night they are so pure white. Once they really got started in the Summertime, we had flowers as big as dessert plates and several came out at a time each evening. The leaves are larger and deep green and the flowers are much larger than a morning glory. The leaves and flowers are too large to fully enjoy on a small trellis - the vine looks best trained along a big fence or a large metal gate / garden structure. It is also nice when it can be planted with other plants in front of it... it gets a little sparse at the bottom because it sends out the majority of the vines toward the top of the plant."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) excellent variety, April 11, 2008 Submitted by MGardner from LaPorte County, IN "In Northern Indiana with a sandy loam soil this variety of sweet potato was excellent. This was my first try with sweet potatoes and the folliage of the vines was pleasant to look at and thick enough to keep most weeds at bay. I had to rush the harvest a few days as the moles found out how delicious this variety is."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) My only 5 leaves rated product (so far), April 4, 2008 Submitted by LakeErieGarden from Lorain, OH "I don't think I have given a "five leaf" rating to any vegetable or herb as there is always something. Some things are a 5 for taste but only a 3 or 4 for productivity. Well I started using this about two years ago after growing peas and beans for years with decent to great productivity but this stuff really, really helps boost it just as it says it does. My pea plants and beans would be productive but this stuff turns productive into loaded. I soak the beans and peas in warm water then roll them around in this stuff to coat them, plant them with a little more sprinkled in and BAM! It is really pretty cheap too for what you get. I buy the little package off the Burpee rack and it is more than sufficient for the home gardener."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Delicious, easy-to-grow cuke!, March 30, 2008 Submitted by SoupAddict from Cincinnati, OH "I bought these seeds in July of last year (2007) on impulse and planted them without any real expectation of production, given the lateness of the season, and the unusually hot and dry conditions we had. To my surprise -- and delight -- these cukes grew fast and happily. They were, indeed, square, and delicious. Sweet and crispy, they kept in fridge much better than expected. I'm planting them again this year (on time!) and am looking forward to a great crop (although, my little experiment from last year did give me the idea to do a subsequent successive planting, so I'll have more cukes longer!)"

The Legacy of W. Atlee Burpee

The Burpee company was founded in Philadelphia in 1876 by an 18 year-old with a passion for plants and animals and a mother willing to lend him $1000 dollars of "seed money" to get started in business. Within 25 years he had developed the largest, most progressive seed company in America. By 1915 we were mailing a million catalogues a year to America's gardeners.
