I have had some trouble with the rosemary and lavender - but who doesn't have trouble with that from seed? But the others have been GREAT little seedlings so far.
Every seed came up, they're about 3' tall with a sturdy stem. Waiting until mid March to put out in the southern (Ga) garden. Will be licking my lips watching them flower and fruit. I like these as an addition to a traditional red tomato salad.
All of the seed in my order arrived in good time. The sweet chinese giant pepper is the only variety I've planted, and it germinated great and are doing well under lights.
I had 40 mph winds my greenhouse fell over and was so surprised the seeds survived two days in the cold under soil and are still growing. The roots were in tact so i transplanted them, they are doing just fine. 10 stars
This is an incredibly delicious tomato. I think every person I have served it to has remarked that is is one of the best tomatoes they have ever tasted. Great any way you have it.

Bush Beans
Bush Beans, or Snap Beans grow in pods that can be eaten when the beans are still small. They are also called string beans sometimes due to a fibrous string that runs the length of the pod on some varieties.
