Submitted by ImfromPa "When this plant first arrived, I was unsure of how well it would do, but wow, probably the best plant I ever bought. This year, I decided to buy a butterfly bush from somewhere else and the blooms are only half the size of this one and not nearly as profuse. It attracts butterflies and bees in my area, and does very well with little care." |

Submitted by Latransplant from Decatur, Alabama "I have never had much luck with seed starting until using this system. My mesclun salad mix literally sprouted overnight and the pumpkin seeds popped up in 3 days time! The conditions created for germination are as perfect as anyone could ask for. When I started the kit, I did not realize I should have placed the tray in its desired location before I added water, as stated in the instructions. Luckily, it was not at all difficult to move. Right now I am in the process of shopping for my next crop of seeds to plant...thanks Burpee!!!" |

Submitted by SoupAddict from Cincinnati, OH "My basil yield has been wonderful this year, and the plants have thrived so well, I haven't been able to keep up with their growth (I know what I'll be doing this coming weekend -- making pesto like crazy to freeze for the winter!). Good stuff." |

Submitted by Yonatan from Jersey Shore "If you are in an apartment or town house and have to resort to container gardening, this is a one tomato I would recommend. The tomatoes are small (about 2" in diameter maximum), but if you use a 12" diameter pot, expect a bumper crops of these meaty little guys. I have one each in 8", 10", and 12" pots, and the largest pot produced like a fiend and early!" |

Submitted by JeanWK from Elkton, SD "This year I have about 20 zucchini growing on the plants at the same time. I think I overcrowded at planting time, but the plants are doing great. They are all the same shape and size, and they are not prickly or fuzzy like some types. They will work great for stuffing, baking, and grilling." |

Submitted by JeanWK from Elkton, SD "I love growing this lettuce! I just cut a bunch, rinse it and serve! I don't spray my lettuce with anything, and this has stayed clean and bug-free. Nice color and texture--just the right size for sandwiches and salads." |

Submitted by ChristyACB from Norfolk, Virginia "Gorgeous radially symmetrical plant that looks fabulous in the garden and produces heavily for the table, this is tied for favorite in our household with the Godfather Pepper. Planted for the first time this year, I had 70% germination rate and survival past the first two leaflets, better than my Godfather or Bells. While these set fruit a bit later than some of the others, it produced suddenly and generously, with a high rate of blossom set. As for taste, I just can't say enough nice things about it. These are particularly delicious when brushed with olive oil, grilled to softness, sprinkled with course salt and eaten right away. None have lasted long enough to test their storage times!" |

Submitted by LabGrrl from Western New York "I have used this so far this season for snow peas, pole beans and morning glories and WOW! I have never been so happy with a trellis. I left mine fairly loose, so it could be easily manipulated, and I have not snagged a bird or had a pea or bean stuck in an impossible to reach corner, yet." |

Submitted by LabGrrl "I planted these seeds in rows on a plot about 4X4. I found little Pak Chois in my corn (15ft away) in my turnips (8 feet away) in my Swiss chard (4 feet away) and in my lawn. Now it is possible that these seeds were picked up and dropped by birds, but I have never had a plant do that, ever, before. Obviously, Pak Choi is no fan of boundaries. One other "warning" I suppose, but about 1/3 of my Pak Choi were lavender, not white, or lavender and white." |

Submitted by Corni from Cincinnati, OH "Haven't grown broccoli in 20 years, but this variety made me wish I had. The heads were huge...and so were the plants, so leave room. As another reviewer said, the plant can loose a lot of foliage to bugs and critters but mine still produced beautifully. Tastes great! Now I"m going to wait and see if I get the side shoots everyone is raving about." |
