The seeds arrived in a small, plastic, zip-lock bag & I sowed some of them in a 12" pot along with white radish, white carrot & chamomille seeds. (The pot also contained 1 strawberry & 5 echinacea plants.) I have no idea how well this combination is going to do together, so we'll see. (I like to experiment!) I'll report back later.

Kale Siberian Heirloom Seeds 175 Seeds Review

This kale has been great, although a little more bitter tasting than I anticipated. It is not for the faint hearted! Garden snails love it, but I just soak the leaves in a tub of water with a tsp. bleach and it kills them and their eggs. All the seeds were viable. I planted them in a more moist area of the garden, and also a sandy/dry area, and both places it did excellent. Greensmoothiegirl.com has some great recipes for using kale in smoothies, and the energy kale gives you is UNBELIEVABLE. Kale is a garden essential, it packs the most nutrition ever. And, now that we've had our first frost it is taking on more flavor. And it looks kind pretty.

Introduced well over a hundred years ago by Russian traders this vegetable is one of the most nutritious greens available. Although you can use it in stews and soups it is easier and quicker to just sautee with olive oil and garlic. Like most greens it likes the cool seasons to perform its best. This packet contains enough seeds for a 25 foot row.

Compact Winter Squash Seeds - Early Butternut & Delicata Review

Compact Winter Squash Seeds - Early Butternut and Delicata
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was looking for an early butternut squash to try out. Now it arrived as a dual packet and sure enough so it says but for some reason I didn't catch on to that. The problem with it being a dual item is we have only room for 1 to 2 plants at best and probably can not tell if the plants that come up are going to be butternut or the delicata? To use it does matter.
Otherwise I am glad to have found a shorter season winter squash and who knows perhaps if it turns out to be delicata we'll find we like it as much or more. Until then....I don't think mixed seeds are such a great idea. You'd sell more....plus I don't want to make my own hybrids.

These Rainbow Stems are So Pretty You May Forget the Harvest!
A 20-inch plant with stalks of yellow, orange, pink, crimson, purple, white, or green -- many with stripes as well! Some even keep their color after cooking! 60 days. These brilliantly-colored stems are so beautiful that you may forget to harvest the succulent, sweet leaves! Electric yellows, pinks, crimsons, oranges, purples, whites, and greens -- some even striped! -- festoon the 20-inch stems. Many keep their color even after cooking, and all are delightfully festive! Great in containers and showy enough for the flower garden, 'Bright Lights' received an AAS award and is already a classic asked for by name in nurseries and garden centers. Like all Swiss Chard, it grows readily from seed, and will regrow if leaves are cut back to 2 inches from the crown.

Think how beautiful a plate of these muticolored beets, sliced across to show the insides, would be on a dinner or banquet table. But too many people don't like beets. So what should you do?
To start with, DON'T put sugar on the beets. Also, don't put orange juice or marmalade on the beets. That's barfocious. Here is how you cook beets:
Remove the greens, cutting about an inch above the beet. Wash the greens and cook as you usually cook greens. Serve warm, with butter and/or hot sauce.
Put the beets in a pan. Cover them with water about two inches higher than the beets. Simmer them for thirty to forty-five minutes, depending on the size. I hope you will harvest these early enough that thirty minutes will be sufficient. Cool. Gently peel off the skins and tails. They will come off easily in your hands; no knife is needed. Slice the beets. Put them in a covered dish. Chill and serve. No butter, no salt, no anything. They don't need it.
OR:
After you have sliced the beets, make a nice sweet pickle vinaigrette including the beet cooking water (strained through muslin) in the vinaigrette to prevent it from being too tart. Pour the hot vinaigrette over the sliced pickles, being sure the pickles are covered. Chill and serve.
That's about as simple as you can get, unless you want to grate the raw beets and put them in a tossed salad. Although the taste will be excellent, you don't want to spoil the beauty of these beets.
Sit back and purr as your family and/or guests ask to have the beets passed again . . . and again . . . .

V8 Vegetable Juice, 12 oz. plastic bottle (12 pack) Review

V8 Vegetable Juice, 12 oz. plastic bottle (12 pack)
Average Reviews:

While most members of my family like orange juice, it's much too sweet for my taste, so for a bit of extra Vitamin C, I opt for a fresh orange instead.
And when it comes to my juice drink, I've always liked the flavor of V-8. Not only does it taste good to me, since it's made from tomatoes and seven other vegetables--beets, celery, carrots, lettuce, parsley, watercress and spinach--it's healthy, also. While I get a hint of all those veggies in my V-8, the celery flavor seems dominant to me ... a flavor I love, incidentally. Whether this is unique with me, I have no idea. It's something I don't discuss with friends. All I know is that I can't help but smile as it slides down my throat. Yum ...
Another thing I like about V-8 is that since the kids in the family don't like it (sorry, Campbell's), I never have to worry about running out. But what I don't like about it is that it's high in sodium, thus requiring that I limit myself to 4 ounces every other day.
I know! I know! They make low-sodium V-8, but I've tried it and it's not for me. Just doesn't taste the same! However, in addition to my favorite, the Original, Campbell's also makes several other varieties: Spicy, Lemon, Picante, Low-Sodium, and Organic. I'm also a person who likes "lemon" flavor (such as lemon-meringue pie), so I plan to try the lemon soon.
There's something for everybody, so try it! You might like it! I certainly do! (Since I love the taste of this product so much, I feel guilty giving it a four-star, but I had to knock off one point due to the high-sodium factor.)
