5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Easy to Grow; great results, December 26, 2008 Submitted by smcatharine from Summit, NJ "This past summer was our 3rd summer after planting these grapes. I was nervous as I wondered if we would get any grapes! Well, the vines were chock full of beautiful clusters of juicy grapes. Only problem was that the chipmunks thought that they were wonderful, too! I look foward to 2009's crop. This is a great variety for the backyard arbor! The photo shows a cluster before it ripened."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Yum!, December 18, 2008 Submitted by SMiller from Northwest Louisiana "I had seen these little cucumbers in a magazine about two years ago and was very curious. Well, we planted them this past summer and Wow! They have a great taste. I don't think we will ever grow anything else. Thier mild flavor is just perfect for in a salad, or just right out of your hand."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Our Favorite Grape, December 11, 2008 Submitted by GardenGuyCO from Western Colorado "I grew this for the first time this year, and was thrilled with the results. Abundant fruit, crack resistant, free of disease and the sweetest grape tomatoes I've tasted. We gave away far more than we could eat, and got constant rave reviews on how sweet they were. Recommended in the dry west, with irrigation of course. This plant is VERY vigorous."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) enjoyed this Basil, December 11, 2008 Submitted by Plantasaurus from Jenks Oklahoma "I had Basil all summer long. All I had to do is step out my back door and clip what I needed off. I planted mine in a flower box that is on a stand. I put one shole packet of seeds in the container and I think I ended up with about 10 sturdy plants after I thinned them out. Next year I am moving the extras to a side garden to make gourmet oils with for gifts. I saved so much money growing my own Basil all summer. We pay about 2.99 for a little plastic container . I know I saved at least 50$, maybe even more. Keep those flowers trimmed off and your plants will grow right up until they freeze."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Could not kill, November 30, 2008 Submitted by kari from DFW Area "I bought these in error and loved them. I live in North Texas and they not only survived the summer they survived a several nights 32-38 degrees in November. I planted them in my yard with mostly sun. I watered them twice a week during the summer, but instead of food I used my lawn clipping each around the base of the plants. I have 4 plants and used a bag a week of the clippings. This not only provided food but kept the ground moist. Note not a lot of fruit during summer but once it cooled in Sept they have tons and have not stopped and now it is Dec."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Really Lovely and Delicious!, November 25, 2008 Submitted by ChristyACB from Norfolk, Virginia "I do love a beet, but I'm the only one in my family who does. Until this year that is. This year I decided to get the kids to plant some seeds and watch them grow so they'd be more likely to try them. It worked! These beets germinated fantastically and the greens that were left when they were thinned out (3 or 4 from each beet seed came up) made it into our salads as a nice refreshing change from standard lettuce. The greenery grew really quickly and I worried that the spacing in square foot gardening would be too tight for them, however I harvested half of them younger and was not disappointed! The pattern was perfect in almost all of the beets and the interesting colors made the kids want to eat them. Young ones we ate raw, sliced ever so thin, in salads. Mature ones had even more striking color bands and those blended out to a nice even color when cooked. I really do love the mild flavor of these beets and have a prominent place set aside for them in my 2009 garden. Can't recommend these highly enough!"

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Not Even a Tropical Storm Budged Them!, November 25, 2008 Submitted by ChristyACB from Norfolk, Virginia "I've probably got every kind of tomato support known to the modern gardener at home. We all know how most of those wind up...bent up with a giant tomato plant heaped on top of it. Not this cage! This one was so good that I had a hard time deciding which of my tomato plants were worthy of this cage or had to take their chances with others. After a full season of exposure to my tidally influenced waterside garden, with occasional salt spray, the cages looked brand new when I put them away last week. And sturdy isn't even close to a good description. We had 2 tropical cyclones and a huge nor'easter come through and they didn't even wobble. And yes, they kept my tomato plants well propped up too. I would recommend the extenders if you're going to let your plants go to their maximum height though."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Nothin' Better!, November 25, 2008 Submitted by ChristyACB from Norfolk, Virginia "I'm a huge eggplant fan. As a substitute for a constant stream of meat based dishes, eggplant can't be beat. Growing eggplant was a first for me this year and out of 3 varieties, this one is my favorite in all possible respects. Germination was fantastic for this seed packet and the tiny sprouts were strong right from the start. After transplant, I lost none, which can't be said for any other veggie in my garden. The production cycle was very quick with our hot Norfolk summer starting early this year. I thought the poor plants might get worn out early, but they simply kept on setting fruit in a reliable fashion. Because so many survived transplant, I wound up with some that had to remain in 16 inch containers. These produced just as much as the ground plants though the fruit was slighly smaller. The eggplants themselves are extremely tasty, with smooth flesh that lacked bitterness even if I left them on a few extra days. Seeds were small and skins very easy to remove. A delicious specimen I heartily recommend!"
