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!" |

Submitted by Golf from Michigan "I bought and started growing this 2 years ago. Unlike a lot of plants labeled "attracts hummingbirds", this really does! Of all the different plants in my hummingbird garden last year, this was the only plant I saw a hummingbird check out. So much for the myth that hummingbirds are only attracted to red flowers! Has beautiful flowers and beautiful rich green foliage. With regular watering you'll have a small bush by fall. Very easy to grow! Seems to prefer morning sun and late-afternoon/evening shade. The only downsides are it's an annual and where I live, the brick and mortar nurseries that carry it are very limited (as in ONE, but only IF they get it in!)" |

Submitted by JeanWK from Elkton, SD "I picked the dried soybeans in October and roasted them with garlic and salt. They were delicious! There are recipes and directions online--it took many hours at a low temperature. I am growing more this year and just hope I have more time to shell them--very tedious!" |
