Fantastic
Yummy fragrance and healthy plants.
Great quality at a price that can't be beat!
This has become one of my favorite varieties of basil (and I very much enjoy basil!). An excellent germination rate (pretty much 100%), and once established, a very happy plant, indeed. At one point last season (2024), I cut back the basil as it had started to shade out some other plants. I also harvested about half late in the season. Well, cut and come again-there was plenty in the fall to harvest before the frost came. I highly recommend drying and using for herbal tea for the winter with a touch of raw honey. The bees quite enjoyed visiting the flowers once in bloom. :)
Awesome producer and neat looking fruit! The abundant cucumber beetles seem to ignore the vines too!
Haven’t planted yet. Looking forward to adding to salads! So happy MIgarden had these. Hard to find Microgreen seeds
So far all 6 seeds that I planted have germinated and are growing well. I am planning on transplanting them into bigger pots soon until they’re ready for the garden.
My old reliable variety, always produces an abundance of tomatoes towards the end of the season!
Little pepper plants popped up quickly, they seem to be doing very well thus far.
