Organic Genovese Sweet Basil Herb 100 Seeds Review

Organic Genovese Sweet Basil Herb 100 Seeds
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm a gardener, and have planted many seeds which grow into beautiful plants.
So, I don't think I did anything wrong- water, temperature, ph and fertilizer were all considered, yet this basil DID NOT GERMINATE. Hirt's Oregano however, is growing strong.

HERBS: Treat yourself to fresh herbs right from your garden! The difference when home grown is impressive! All are excellent for adding distinctive flavor to meat, and fish dishes, gravies, soups, salads and vegetables. They are fun to grow and make an attractive garden addition!
Genovese Sweet Basil. Ocimum basilicum
Perfect for pesto because of its concentrated flavor, the medium-large leaves have a fine, sweet fragrance. Spicy, edible flowers accent a salad. Tall, relatively uniform, slow to bolt. Sow 1-2 seeds per inch in garden when danger of frost has passed, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost date. Requires warm conditions for germination and growth. Basils are very susceptible to cold soil and frosts. Harvesting tips. Pinch off flower heads to keep productive. Harvest leaves during season, entire plant first frost.

Order came in very quickly, however the germination rate is extremely low. I am using a hydroponic system in which everything else germinates quickly and efficiently, and these seeds just don't really want to grow.

Sow these seeds where they will remain as cilantro resents transplanting and will bolt, go to seed much faster than it needs to. The fabulous taste of Cilantro leaves then turns into Coriander seeds. This is an easy seed for beginners and so tasty.

Pumpkin Jarrahdale Heirloom Seeds 7 Seeds Review

Pumpkin Jarrahdale Heirloom Seeds 7 Seeds
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The sales blurb for this type of pumpkin doesn't do it justice. This is an old variety from Australia, the pumpkins are good to store over winter, the skin is a blue grey with deep orange flesh. Excellent to eat as a vegetable (steam, roast, turn into soup, add to stirfry, curries). Plant in ground after last frost and cultivate as other pumpkins, ie plenty of room and feeding. If you only use these for carving you are missing out on a great tasting vegetable and wasting it! Have no idea about this company's seeds, but the pumpkin itself is a good eating pumpkin.

I had recently purchased a pot full of various lettuce types and had hoped to grow a similar one of my own with this lettuce mix. I planted them, but nothing came up. It could have been the heat of the deck, but we water every day and the Mediterranean cucumbers came up great. Usually lettuce is easy to grow, but I guess that this type is a little more difficult or needs specific growing conditions.

Always sow lettuce in cool weather. If you are wondering why it's called Valentine Mix it is because all of the varieties are red or at least partly red. This packet contains Lolla Rossa, Marveille de Quatre Saisons, Redina, Red Oakleaf, Red Salad Bowl, Rouge d'Hilver and Rueben's Red.

Common Sorrel Rumex Acetosa Seeds 450 Seeds Review

Common Sorrel Rumex Acetosa Seeds 450 Seeds
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Any of several varieties of a hardy perennial herb in the buckwheat family, all with some degree of acidity and sourness. Sorrel has a sharp, lemony taste. The most strongly flavored variety is garden or belleville sorrel, also called sour dock and sour grass. The mildest variety is dock sorrel (spinach dock or herb patience dock). As sorrel matures it becomes more acidic. Sorrel leaves are shaped like spinach leaves and range in color from pale to dark green. The leaves are very high in vitamin C and have many uses. Young, tender spring leaves can be used as a salad green, and are also used in cream of sorrel soup. Sorrel can be cooked like spinach, or mixed with cooked spinach or chard for a sharp, lemony flavor. Fresh leaves are used by some to soothe canker sores.

This perennial is hardy to ten degrees. Once you have tasted sorrel you will find it hard to live without. Since it is so easy to grow you won't have to find out.

I have been growing vegges indoors and out for years. The quality of seeds from Hirts Gardens seem to be of the highest quality as compared to many online and in store places. The germination rate is the highest... it seems every seed germinates and much time is spent thinning.
Also, I believe Hirts Gardens is #1 here at Amazon in speed - getting the order processed.

Jiffy 5048 36-Plant Pellet Refill Review

Jiffy 5048 36-Plant Pellet Refill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I thought I was ordering the larger peat pellets more suitable for tomato and bean seeds. Instead, these are the smaller ones more suitable for smaller seeds, measuring around 1.5" across. But that is OK because these work great for germination sets and later transplants and I use smaller sizes, too. When these are saturated with water the peat inside the mesh holds for the duration of the root growing period.
I use aluminum baking pans with clear plastic lids as mini greenhouses. These are a lot cheaper than those plastic germination sets for sale everywhere.
This product is made in Canada.

I received the seeds for this Italian heirloom zucchini from Fernley, Nevada by USPS on 09/27/10, four days after I ordered them (09/23/10). These little darlin's were sent out the day AFTER I ordered them. Cudos to Renee Shepherd (AND USPS)! Now regarding the order: the packaging states that there are 25 seeds per packet, but by golly, there were 26 in there! (Now, I've had every kind of shipping oops and heartbreak you can think of since the onset of on-line shopping, but that extra little seed put a grin on my face. I can live with that!) They were nice healthy looking seeds, too...not those little, flat, useless ones. Here's to seeing how well they grow...
This was the perfect transaction and order. :-)
