Featured Review: Pepper, Sweet Tangerine Dream
29 Jan 2012 at 8:07pm
Pepper, Sweet Tangerine Dream
Average Customer Rating 4.3 out of 5
Yes, it's a gorgeous little bush studded all over with shiny red-orange rockets - too pretty to hide away among rows of vegetables. But it's very tasty too, with a hint of heat. The 3" fruit are sweet and delicious, either pickled or on salad platters. Height 18". Harvest about 70 days after plants are set out in the garden. Grows best in full sun.

Most prolific pepper and a real conversation piece
September 06, 2011 By vommarlowe from Midwest
"These are great little plants. I planted mine in containers with good soil, a bit of Soil Moist, and my usual pepper fertilizer. These grew slowly but steadily into pretty, green free-standing plants (no staking needed). When they fruited, practically every flower turned into a pepper! I have row after row of green peppers, each about the size of a jalepeno. If you leave them on the plant long enough, they turn a lovely orange-red color.
I have been very pleased with the taste, which is like a..." more

2009 Tomato Winner
January 18, 2010 By FrankoB from Minneapolis, MN
"4th of July was my Tomato Winner for 2009. It not only was a fast grower - tolerating early planting here in Minnesota - but it also was the biggest producer of the year. I started plants indoors in early March, and brought them outdoors into protected boxes May 1st. The plants were very hardy and thrived in my EarthBoxes witha soil heating cable for warmth. The plants produced the first Tomatoes by July 10th even with a cold spring in the Northland. Production was huge for both in-ground and those..." more

Pleasantly Surprised
November 11, 2008 By HummingbirdFavorites from Roswell, Georgia
"Being concerned with the drought we're having in the South, I purchased Heat Wave II seeds in 2008 as an "insurance policy" against the summer heat. Of the six varieties that I grew last year, the Heat Wave II tomatoes ripened first and continued to produce until the very end of the growing season. And they're easy to grow. But the texture, consistency and flavor were a pleasant surprise! These are beautiful tomatoes, very meaty with few seeds and a terrific flavor! Most definitely, this was my..." more

Best Yeild Ever!
August 16, 2007 By wilbar from Clayton
"Normally I plant seedlings. This year I tried starting from seed and could not be happier with the results.
I used two different methods.For the first , I bought two big pots and threw a handfull of seeds into each one.I had many sprouts but they were overcrowded.They grew so big that I used them ornamentally.
As for the second,I germinated single seeds.Then I planted them two feet apart in the garden. The single plants each grew to be bigger than the entire pots of Basil,far exceeding my expectations.

Tomato, Big Mama Hybrid
Average Customer Rating 4 out of 5
Mama Mia! The new standard in home-grown paste tomatoes. These beauties are plum-shaped, incredibly meaty, and enormous?up to 5" long and 3" across. Tomatoes easily yield delicious, thick, creamy sauces?with less time spent peeling and coring. Skin consistently peels away easily after par-boiling, which means less fuss, less mess, and more sauce!

"The Big Mama tomato is the best tomato I have grown. It is excellent in sauces. I use a pressure canner and the Big Mama has just the right amount of juice and not that many seeds. We only grow about a dozen plants each year and the yield is out of this world. The plants are easy to care for and produce a tomato that is uniform in size, taste and texture. Burpee has devoped a great all around tomato. We also use it in salads and on sandwiches and burgers. Great job Burpee!"

"I am a lover of zinnias but they can get a bit boring after a while. The Candy Cane mix adds a wonderful dynamic to zinnias. I grew these in 2006 and I was absolutely delighted by them. In my native South, you can't ask for a harder working flower than the zinnia and the colorful petals of the Candy Cane mix is quite a show stopper! Plant them where your neighbors can enjoy them too!"

They quickly grew to the advertised size & provide wonderful colors, are VERY dense/full, and are very vigorous and low maintenance. What a great addition!

Corn, Sun & Stars Bicolor Hybrid
Average Customer Rating 5 out of 5
Garden-fresh sweet corn is summer's greatest pleasure. Plant corn in blocks at least 4 rows wide for cross-pollination and well-filled ears. A packet contains 200-250 seeds unless noted, enough for four 15 ft rows. One lb. will plant four 100 ft rows. Seeds are not treated. Supersweet Hybrid Sh2 corns can be twice as sweet as others and stay sweet for days if chilled promptly. For best taste, isolate from non-Sh kinds to stop cross-pollination. 80 days. Extraordinary size and unusually strong color...more

"Earlier today, I picked my first ears of this beautiful variety of corn. Even though I purchased this seed a couple of summers ago, I didn't get around to planting it until this spring.
What sruck me the most about this variety is the size of the ears. They are absolutely huge!! I don't think that I have ever grown ears of corn as large as these! Most of what I picked were at least eight and a half to nine inches long with at least eighteen to twenty rows of kernals. The ears also have a good..." more

Cucumber, Big Burpless Hybrid

The bountiful harvest begins about 55 days after planting. Superior flavor, jumbo sized, and burpless too! The large size, sweet flavor and excellent disease resistance combine to make Big Burpless the finest cucumber you'll ever grow. Burpee Exclusive. Grow in full sun in average, well-drained soil. For earlier yields, plants can be started indoors several weeks before your normal planting time.

"I planted two hills of this amazing burpless cucumber last summer. At the peak of the season, I was picking 8-12 cukes from my two hills almost every day. Not only is this a true burpless cucumber, but the cukes were still crisp and tasty (almost no seeds) even after I found the "hiders" that grew to 14 inches long. Not only did I have plenty for the table, I canned 20 pints of relish and 10 pints of bread and butter pickles. The bushes bore fruit until frost and I live in Michigan. Needless to..." more

Balsam, Mix
Average Customer Rating 5 out of 5
HEIRLOOM. Discovered in southeast Asia, balsam was a favorite old- fashioned flower by 1900. (Today's impatiens, a shade-loving hybrid of African species, was virtually unknown in gardens until after World War II.) Balsam is best in full sun to half shade. It sprouts in only 4-5 days and flowers early, getting 12-24" tall. The narrow plants hold their blooms close to the central stem. Victorian gardeners removed some leaves to better display the flowers. Perfection Pink. Camelia-shaped blooms 2"...more

"These plants made it through Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Rita and the unbearably hot weather that followed. Most notibly after the hurricanes here in Louisiana we had 96-100 degreee weather and no rain for weeks. We were asked to conserve water so no sprinklers. These plants were troopers with no watering at all - they bloomed their hearts out when everything else was crispy brown. Can't tell you what a pleasure it was to have their great color amidst the devastation. I'm putting in my order..." more
