Eureka Beans are abundant, August 24, 2008
Submitted by leifler from Southern Indiana

"This is the second year that I have planted Eureka Yellow Bush Beans. Both years they have produced a tremendous quantity of delicious beans. You can pick them by the handful. They are beautiful in the glass mason jars. I will always plant this variety of bean. I don't know how any other variety could be better!"

Huge Crops of Beautiful Beans, July 27, 2008
Submitted by sddcgardenguy from Eastern South Dakota

"The "Eureka" beans are truly amazing! I planted these at a similar time to the "Greencrop" beans. They were a week slower to harvest, but since then wow! These guys keep putting on the beans! These two varieties have been truly awesome! The overall height of the plant is a bit smaller than other beans plants and tend to be a bit top-heavy, however, this hasn't diminished the gigantic yield at all. As long as I pick, they keep producing. I have about 25' of these and have picked approx. 10 pounds. Definately more next year! The beans seem to hold well once they reach their perfect picking length. The plants also seem to be rather resistant to disease. Bring these back next year Burpee!"

Roasted Soybeans, June 3, 2008
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!"

Great Bean, May 15, 2008
Submitted by CAGardener from Northern CA

"Last year was my first time with these beans, and they are fantastic. Great production and the beans kept coming well into August. The color also was a big hit with my neighbors, as they had never seen purple beans before. My only complaint is that they seem to rot in the ground more than the regular green beans do under similar conditions. All-in-all, though, well worth planting."

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."

Still good after all these years, September 3, 2007
Submitted by migardener

"I found some of these seeds that I bought 2-3 years ago. I gave them the wet paper towel test and I was amazed that all of the seeds sprouted. So I planted them and lo and behold--these beans are just as prolofic and good tasting as they were a few years ago. Fabulous yields and great flavor--even from old seed :) My garden will never be without them."

soybean seeds, July 23, 2007
Submitted by hlthnut

"I was told that soybeans can't be grown in CT. Well, I have proven growers wrong because I have the most beautiful soybean crop. Just need to keep the japanese beetles off. I have soybeans everywhere. I highly recommend these seeds and will plant them next year too. I planted the seeds in the garden 1st week of May. I have nice pods that will probably be ready to pick in August."
