I grew these to attract hummingbirds, and they work! All sorts of pollinators work on these from dawn to dusk. Not overly showy, but lovely pinkish-peach delicate flowers on spikes that are easy to deadhead. Have grown to 2 1/2 - 3 ft. high in all day full sun.
Overall very pleased with the germination rate, colors and variety of species. The visual effect is stunning. However, as the season has progressed I noticed a preponderance of rudbeckia now overshadowing the annuals, and a noticeable absence of any other perennials. Hoping the perennials will appear next spring. Please check out the photos, 1 from early season and the other from late July in Cumberland county, PA
They came up really fast and we let them get pretty big. They have a strong peppery flavor that is absolutely delicious. I'm back to order a bigger pack for another round of planting.
Is growing and i love how they turn towards the sun. In the morning to the eight in the afternoon to the left lol so funny. Cant waiit to see the flowers
This grass seed is perfect. The green color is amazing. I bought a small amount to do an area to find out what it would be like and I was so surprised how lush and green it came up. The blend looks like I had a professional seed it. Came back for more.
This will be my 4th year growing Emerite beans. They’re easy to grow and produce abundantly from early July to September on Cape Cod- I even harvested some in October ! They are tender and flavorful, by far the best green beans I’ve had. My friend, a longtime master gardener, loves them and now grows them as well. Provide room for them to climb - they will take off! I’ve had to pull a vine off my shingles, it was halfway to my second floor bedroom window !
This zucchini plant germinated faster than anything else I have planted😊 I am sooo impressed thus far. I have absolutely no experience with growing anything until about a month ago so when this zucchini plant popped out of the rockwool at record speed, I was overjoyed. I am doing the wet paper towel in the baggie soaks to help with germinating so maybe that helped.
I planted this variety in my raised bed garden following a cover crop of mature triticale. It produced consistently throughout the summer and I even had two plants survive and continue setting fruit until mid September. I harvested the last mature zucchini in September and it is still sitting on my kitchen counter in early February without showing signs of rotting (it's now become my experiment to see how long it lasts). The others I harvested also had very good "shelf life". I had very little leaf mold issues with this variety during the growing season.
I purchased the seeds almost two years ago and still use them. I plant two seeds at a time to stagger the harvest, and both seeds germinate (knock on wood). The plants have been grown under the grow lights in my basement. Need to re-order.
They grew really well and we harvested more than anticipated. They didn't get real big as we figured that was because our area didn't receive much rain last summer. We did water them but not quite the same as rain water
Grow these every year. Large sprawling plants, large delicious beans. Take a while to ripen and can be difficult to germinate, but so worth it. 5-6 plants are plenty for the two us for fresh beans and a winters worth of frozen beans. We don't dry them, don't seem to have a long enough growing season (in s Carolina ) for drying on the vine (probably because we're anxious to eat the earliest ones)! Following the growing instruction pdf on this page is highly recommended to increase germination. This is the only place I've ever found these for sale.
