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.
Still in love with this variety. Grown in 6B with most of the Summer in the mid to low 90s and a lot of humidity. Some unavoidable cracking issues with the heat and rain, but very little loss. No disease or issues with pests. Still highly recommend this variety. Makes an amazing salsa, though seed heavy.
Central Valley - Northern California: We didn't know what to expect and had a blast with growing, harvesting, and giving away ground cherry plants. They germinated really well, we had more starts than we had space. We had some friends put them in the ground and others in pots on their deck, the ground cherry did great regardless. The fruit flavor is pungent, tropical, almost like a pineapple-esque tomato. Prolific and such a change of pace in the garden, 10/10 recommend!
