Eggplants thrive when surrounded by compatible companion plants. Basil is a standout partner, enhancing eggplant flavor while helping deter pests. Marigolds can help repel nematodes, safeguarding eggplants from soil-borne threats. Beans make great neighbors, benefiting from the shade provided by eggplants. Peppers and tomatoes also complement eggplants with similar sun and water requirements. Additionally, consider thyme and oregano as companions, as they contribute to a healthier garden ecosystem. These companion plants enhance the growth and flavor of eggplants while promoting garden biodiversity and pest control.More
Every single Tatli Sivri seed germinated. One of my favorites as they are easy to grow and produce plenty of peppers. I also purchased the hot ones (Aci Sivri) which were just as great.
Wachter's True Gold ... far SUPERIOR to 'chain store' bought seeds!
I planted 100 Wachter's True Gold (dent corn for grinding) a week after planting Ferry-Morse Early Golden Bantam sweet corn. The 'F-M' had only 29% germination AND scrawny plants emerged. Wachter's True Gold had almost 80% ... easy to count from 100 seeds minus the missing spots AND it grew FASTER and HEALTHIER! Both types of corn were planted in the same fashion, EXACTLY! Wachter's True Gold has proved, 'so far anyway'; to be far superior. We'll see what harvest brings and I can update those results when the time comes.
This company has outstanding responsive customer service. Due to a death in family and moving across country, I was uncertain if my seeds would arrive before leaving. Communications were quick, accommodating and thoughtful. Best part, they offer excellent varieties and so far there's a very, very high germination rate. New favorite seed company!
