We grew a Carolina Cross- had to pull it early because of sunburn but definitely trying again next Spring.

I grew the Orangeglo and the Georgia Rattlesnake watermelons. This was my first time ever growing watermelons, and I had a great germination and production rate!

Excellent variety pack of eggplant!

A great choice if you want a few varieties of eggplant without having to buy individual seeds packs.

Surpise in a small package

If you like eggplant, you will enjoy this mix! It is exciting to be able to grow a larger selection of different eggplants out of the same packet! They are all different looking, so it is like a surprise per plant! All taste equally great.

Did not label the individual seed types

Thank you for reaching out.
You purchased a MIX. It is clearly stated in the title of the variety as well as the description of the item that it is a MIX.

I am not sure why there is any confusion. The label on the front of the seed pack states: This is a MIXED pack of seeds containing Black Beauty Eggplant, Petch Siam Eggplant and Turkish Orange Eggplant.

Strong Babies

I grow in containers, so I only planted 5 seeds of Yellow Pear. All 5 germinated & all 5 look equally strong! Excited to grow them

Yellow Pear is one of my favorites!

Phenomenal Germination

I had 💯 germination! Had so many plants I shared with our local food bank to give to anyone that would like one

Thank you!
