Blankoma White Beet 100 Seeds- White Flesh-Sweet-Veggie Review

(More customer reviews)11/18/07
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

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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

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.

Beets Gourmet Blend Certified Organic Heirloom Seeds 100 Seeds Review

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 . . . .
