Review of Windowbox Mini Basil Seeds

These seeds germinated in a matter of days, with nearly 100% of planted seeds breaking the surface. (The ones i started (as recommended) in seed starting mix died, but the ones i started in peat pellets are all thriving, so spend the extra dollar or so to pick up some peat pellets.)

I currently have four little basil bushes, all a few inches tall. They smell wonderful, but i'm going to let them get a little bigger before i start harvesting the leaves for cooking.

Thank you so much for the very high quality product and excellent service.The swans were shipped immediately after I purchased them.

Review of EZ Digger Garden Hand Plow

I adore this tool. It has replaced for almost daily use my small hand-rake, trowel, hand-hoe, and dibble. I never thought the trowel would be displaced! This little hand-plow is way overpriced at $24 and can easily be gotten for $16 or even less, so shop around. But do get one. It's the only tool I've ever used that easily gets grass with all its roots out of an already planted bed with minimal harm to perennials; if all it had done for me was let me get grass roots out so that it doesn't just grow back, that would've been sufficiently splendid. But it also turns soil, allows me to mix compost into old established beds that need soil refreshed, trenches for bulbs, breaks up soil with such ease that I'm no longer tempted to just put a new plant into a "socket" of a hole without loosening lots of soil around it. Now that I've grown accustomed to the ease this hand-tool lends to so many garden uses, I can't get along without it. I got a second one in case I set one down and can't find it fast enough. Only my clippers are so essential.

Review of Japanese Slicing Knife Small Fine Chef Quality NHS1800

Love this knife! 2nd one I've owned. Just do not use it as an ice pick
like my wife did and break off the tip.It does require a some care, but
is well worth it.It stays so sharp!You will hardly use any other knife
in your rack.It fits in your hand great and is nice an light.You do not want it any larger for safety sake.The price is great compared to other name brand $100+ knives. Do not freak when the carbon steel cutting edge discolors, as this is natural.The only thing is that when you wash it off(never diswasher), you must towel dry it right away or that carbon steel will rust.I purchased a $10.00 2" x 3" diamond block sharpener for it that I use maybe once a month to keep it razor sharp.If you are the cook in the household like me, you will use this baby all day long.

1800 SMALL GOURMET SLICING KNIFEOur smaller, lower cost 1800-Series NHS Knives have rosewood handles, plastic ferrules, with the same blade construction as our 5000 Series knives.

This knife is a product of NHS, a premier cutlery maker in Seki City, Japan, famous for Samurai Swords and fine cutlery.It is designed to permit exceptionally thin slicing of vegetables, specifically for vegetarian and macrobiotic cooking.To achieve this, the cutting blade is made with a sword grade, compound cutlery steel that is capable of holding a razor sharp edge.The slicing ability is superior to any other similar knife available.The unique cutting edge has a tendency toward staining, however, and is more subject to chipping than heavy duty knives.Therefore for appearance and to provide additional strength, the blade is sandwiched between outer layers of stainless steel, exposing only the cutting edge.The exceptional thinness of this combination blade can be seen by viewing along its top edge.Proper care will provide many years of superior use. Our NHS knives are from Seiki City, Japan, famous for the Samurai sword and fine Japanese cutlery.

Review of Small Japanese Vegetable (Usuba) Gourmet Knife NHS1801

I have been watching the chefs on the cooking channel just chop through vegetables as though it was easy, well it wasn't with my cheap knives.I went with this small Japanese knife because I have a small hand and didn't want the extra weight of other vegetable knives.

Review of Agrosun Dayspot Incandescent 60W Bulb

If you need something to get some seedlings started, this does work.

Review of Joshua Roth 130 The Original GardenCut All Purpose Shear

My first impression was.....this shear is too long. I had been used to using a six inch floral shear. Little did I know! Much easier getting into those bushy plants. The Roth is soooo comfortable to use in the garden. Andit is ultra sharp and makes super cuts, which are so very important whenharvesting flowers for show. Cuts and does not 'crush' stems. Lookingforward to using it in the crafts shop. This is great value for the price.

Review of Super Thrive 1 Gallon

I am a master gardener and apparently in the wrong business...I have tried pretty much every additive, bio and synthetic supposed plant helper on the market. I have actually done controlled experiments with this product on 5 peppers (5 with 5 without) and found ABSOLUTELY NO difference with it. No difference at all! I have also tried it on coffee plants and more...Im sure it has vitamins in it as it smells like one in the bottle but you can get better results with natural AZomite for a ton cheaper without the hokus pokus. Dont expect a jack in the beanstalk story because its not magic and its nothing special but a multi vitamin in a bottle. Its hokus pokus claims and a total rip off in my book. Just look at the label and see the circus and claims which are NOT proven or proof. They should be exposed for their false claims and sued for false statements especially charging this much money for a typical vitamin. Stick with good old fashioned compost and it will blow you away. FYI, the seller of this product Hydro Harrys is a great outlet with great products and selection. Its where I buy all of my hydroponic supplies. Lastly, the lady that gave this the 5 stars and thinks she is going green with this, its a synthetic product...NOT organic.

Review of Saboten 1218 Pruning Shears (Yellow)

Having several different garden tools for pruning, at first I was hesitant to purchase yet another pruning tool that only marginally might suit my individual needs.However, once I did, I found the Saboten 1218 not only to be useful and well designed, but very efficient and practical.The coated blades keep the tool relatively clear at all times.The handle design can comfortably fit in anyone's hand and does not lead to any "hand fatigue" whatsoever during long term use.In all likelihood, if one purchases this pruning tool, then other owned pruning tools may take a backseat as the first choice for which one reaches.

Review of Single mudman

This product was so amazing. The detail on such a small piece of art was really nice, and even when it fell on the tile it did not break or crack!

Click Here to see more reviews about: Single mudman

Product Description:
Individually hand crafted from simple unfired clays, each mud man, signally or as a grouping is constructed as one piece. They are unglazed and sun dried. There is ample detail considering that each mud man is made quickly with limited tools. Most of the small features like hair, hands wrinkles in the clothing and tea cups or scrolls are made using only small bits of clay rolled between the artists thumb and index finger. Facial expressions are produced by carving out lines with the artist finger nail.
Each small statuary is a unique creation; no two are exactly alike, though they follow traditional forms and archetypes. Some mud men may be holding a fan, others playing a game of go or enjoying a cup of tea. They are most commonly used in China as additions to bonsai or other stone or floral arrangements. Mud men are incorporated to complete the Taoist trinity so predominately portrayed in Chinese landscape paintings. They are also meant to add the illusion of scale to an arrangement. A regular Jade plant can be made to look like a tiny ancient tree with the small mud man grouping seated beneath it.

Review of 9GreenBox - 5 Money Tree Plants Braided Into 1 Tree -Pachira with 3.5" HandCraft Green Ceramic Pot

I received a Braided Money Tree for Mother's Day from my daughter and she was so excited to give it to me. I followed the directions exactly and after the leaves wilted and fell off, there is no sign of life.

I thought if I was patient, it would show life and continue to grow but it has now been 6 weeks and I don't think it will revive.

We lived in the tropics for many years so I was excited to get such a plant and it had special meaning from my daughter to me.

Is there anything I can do? Is it possible to get it replaced so it will resemble what you describe?

I remain - disappointed! I would like to hear from you.

Review of Mudman Rickshaw - ceramic, sized for bonsai

It's simple, suprisingly rugged item. Mine was very close to the picture but the passenger was slightly more active.
I think the artisian or artist that made mine interjected a subtle sense of humor into it. When no one was looking I discreetly slipped on my reading glasses to appreciate that the sculpture has more detail than at first meets the eye. (old eyes anyway)

I did some mirical grow to it, but other than that - almost no care. Last sring it gave us a few flowers, they were nice, but still too random. Looking forward for oncoming spring!

Review of Hori-Hori Japanese Digging Tool Stainless Steel

WEEDS SCREAM AND RUN when they see me coming with the hori hori. (Note that I don't know whether one hori hori brand is any better than another. It's the tool itself that's so great.)

If I could, I'd get one for each of my gardener friends. Sometimes I might need a spade or pruners or shovel, but overall, the hori hori is often the only tool I take outside to plant and weed.

Solid, unbending steel helps pry out deep weeds or dig a hole even in packed clay or gravel. The serrated edge is great for butterflying root-bound plants. And the centimeter markings helps me properly place seedlings and bulbs.

One thing I'd recommend that's been really helpful for me is to paint the handle with fluorescent paint AND tie some long (15-20") fluorescent plastic tape through the hole so that you don't lose it in the dirt; there'll always be some pink or orange ribbon sticking out even if you bury the hori-hori by mistake.

I've buried my hori hori twice. Once I actually called the local metal detector club to help me find it (it was within plain view of my back door for 4 months). The other time, I just ran out and bought a new one.

I've never damaged the blade on one of these. I killed the wood handle by leaving it buried for 10 months in soggy Seattle, but I still use the blade alone.

ANOTHER GARDEN TOOL RECOMMENDATION: Get a Circle Hoe.

Review of California Pepper Tree 20 Seeds-Schinus-Tropical/Bonsai

A couple of seeds germinated, and have been growing well. Slow - they're less than foot tall after several months, but I dont know the growth rates or habit of this tree. They are 2 nice little pot plants for now. i'm pleased with them so far.

Click Here to see more reviews about: California Pepper Tree 20 Seeds-Schinus-Tropical/Bonsai

Product Description:

This fast-growing ornamental tree reaches up to 30' tall, has graceful weeping branches and feathery pinnate leaves, and produces clusters of attractive rose/red aromatic berries. With time, the trunk becomes an enhancing gnarled feature as with an aged olive tree. Subtropical. Easily grown indoors. Also makes a great bonsai!
All parts of the tree have high oil and essential oil contents that produce a spicy, aromatic scent. The leaves of the pepper tree have such a high oil content that leaf pieces jerk and twist when placed in hot water as the oil is released. The berries, which have a peppery flavor, are used in syrups, vinegar, and beverages in Peru; are added to Chilean wines; and are dried and ground up for a pepper substitute in the tropics. The dried berries have also been used as an adulterant of black pepper in some countries.
Proper name: Schinus molle.

Review of Don Egolf Chinese Redbud Tree-Cercis-Outdoors or Bonsai

This tree arrived before spring 2009. It was well packed and arrived in great shape. When I received it, it was just starting to show signs of budding. The buds were wonderful and it went on to leaf out and look lovely. I am now waiting to see how it will survive it's first winter in my care.

Product Description:
Shipping Begins April 15th!
'Don Egolf' is somewhat more compact in growth habit (9' tall by 9.5' wide in 15 years) than seedling Chinese Redbuds. When in flower it really is a sight to behold, with its bright rosy-mauve flowers so tightly packed on the stems as to obscure the bark. The floral display is all the more impressive because you'll find flowers solid from the branches all the way to the ground. The plant in full flower actually looks a lot like a pinata done in shrub-form. We must not fail to mention that this variety is also completely sterile, so there is no need to worry about reseeding or untidy pods hanging-on all winter.
Also makes a spectacular bonsai!

Review of Shogun Juniper Bonsai

I ordered this Bonzai Tree in December. By early March it was brown. I followed all the directions precisely (water every 2-3 days, sunlight, etc.). Needles turned brown after 2 months. After month 3, brushing my hand across the tree caused branches to snap off. Very disappointing.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Shogun Juniper Bonsai

Product Description:
Enjoy the ancient Japanese tradition of Bonsai cultivation with our Shogun Juniper Bonsai. The term 'bonsai' literally translated from Japanese means tray planting or tree in pot. The term refers specifically to the training and artistic vision applied to the tree; ultimately this will give the illusion of an aged miniature tree in nature. It is more than just a little tree, it is an attempt to represent nature itself in a small pot. Nurturing such a micro-environment over many years can be a wellspring of meditative pleasure. Harmoniously balanced with an ancient piece of granite in a stylish, 7" cobalt blue ceramic pot. This small tree will do best if it can be placed outdoors, at least during the growing season. Like other conventional bonsai, it needs sun, wind, and rain to approximate the life of a "real" tree.
