This is my first year growing a true vegetable garden. I live in a mountain area where "nothing grows" according to most people. WRONG! I can do no wrong with this romaine lettuce from West Coast Seeds. I started indoors in late April (zone 6a). It was easy to germinate with almost a 100% germination rate. The little lettuce seedlings were so cute! Transplanted out early May into a raised bed. Once the weather warmed up this lettuce took off and has been giving us beautiful romaine salads since then. I pick the outer leaves as needed and days later come back to find the heads full again. The temps have been into the high 80s and even low 90s with no bolting or wilting. Will grow this every year. Thank you for producing such high quality seeds West Coast Seeds!
This was my first year starting sunflowers from seed. I tried another brand I picked up locally as well as a few varieties from West Coast Seeds. I got ONE sunflower from the other brand and dozens from West Coast Seeds. The Procut Plums are the first to bloom and are so gorgeous and sturdy. I started using the milkjug method in Zone 6a (probably put them outside in February) and have beautiful blooms by mid-July. Much earlier than expected and I couldn't be happier!
They are my favourite and I have used them for years. This year I am going to try 3 intervals of planting, the first harvest is off, the second is blooming and the third is just starting to stick out of the ground.
