Pumpkin Jarrahdale Heirloom Seeds 7 Seeds Review

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.

Common Sorrel Rumex Acetosa Seeds 450 Seeds Review

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.

In frost-free areas, castor bean is an evergreen herbaceous or semi-woody large shrub or small tree that gets up to 40' tall and 15' wide. In the tropics, it can have a trunk that is woody near the base and up to a foot in diameter. Elsewhere, castor bean plant grows as an annual that can get 4-15' tall in a single growing season. This is a fast growing, suckering, colony forming plant with decidedly tropical looking foliage. They tend to grow straight up at first, developing branches only later in the season (and in subsequent years for plants that live that long). The huge leaves are palmate, with 5-11 deeply incised lobes. They are glossy purplish or reddish-green and 12-30" across, with long petioles (leaf stems). The stems are watery juicy and reddish or purplish too. The flowers are followed by reddish brown egg-shaped capsules, about an inch long, thickly covered with soft flexible spines. This is the Castor Oil Plant - a noble foliage plant, normally grown as a half-hardy annual, often used to give a tropical appearance to the border. The variety, gibsonii, is a compact form with dark red, metallic foliage. 5 ft.All parts of this plant are poisoness. Do not plant where children or pets may be exposed.
