I live in northwest montana. Will the varieties in this kit grow well there?

I have had luck with the seeds I have planted so far, and live in the Texas panhandle where we experience high winds coupled with extreme temperature swings. I am sure that with the number of varieties included, you are going to find something that will grow extremely well in your climate. I like to also try to create a micro-climate for other varieties to get them to flourish best.

To Sallybee... it's a bit late but I wanted to comment on your answer... I would guess that the reason some of your plants did not bear "fruit" is that they were not pollinated. Put a bee hive near your garden and you will see a LOT more yield.

Definetly! Just plan according to your zone climate as far as timing goes! I live in Pacific Northwest were it's cooler snd everything is thriving!

We live in Northern Arizona where the climate is cold winters with a growing season May to October. There are problems with these seeds. Germination was pretty good - maybe 80%. Some things are growing and harvesting moderately well, others quite well. The spinach, chard, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower grew nice plants with no harvest or product at all on them. Strange. Tomatoes are nice. Jalapenos are fair. cilantro is fairly productive. Squashes put on small and few product. I recommend a different seed company.

I haven't planted the seeds yet, too cold yet in Kansas. I intend to plant when the soil warms up and all chance of frost is past. From the research I did I believe this is one of the tallest species but have heard it is very invasive. I will find out!

Depends on where you live. I live in Ky and it will grow only in spring and fall

Twiggy sounds about right, I live in new jersey and planted it in September. I have no shoots at all and its only grown leaves, but its still alive I am hopeful.

Not an expert but I would say Oregon and melaleuca are a good mix. You can check out this web page for further advice ....http://www.everythingessential.me

I believe so. I had trouble growing my first set. Only had a few make it. I'm going to try again this spring.

It should work quite nicely. From our use this growing season, it maintained a good temperature level as well as appropriate humidity.

That should be fine. I grew them in St Louis last year. They are a bit stringy and sensitive to moving them around.

Mine still need a lot of watering to stay healthy(2 or 3 times a week & they are 3 months old), so if your sprinklers outside are running I would say yes. Depending on where you live, I would wait until spring when the snow is gone. I contacted the sellers about shipping in the winter time and they answered my question within days....so try contacting them...they would have the best answer. Hardy Basjoo Banana Plant - Musa basjoo. Amazing "hardy tropical" banana for the north or south, though native to the Ryukyu Archipelago which lies between Japan and Taiwan, Musa basjoo is also very common in parts of China. This specimen will survive temperatures as low as -20 if mulched. Full sun with lots of water & fertilizer to achieve the amazing growth rate, but it will do fine in light shade as well. Beautiful deep green clump can grow up to 18' tall or more, and really gives a tropical warm sunny feeling. Great for any place in the garden, especially great around pools or patios, courtyards and wonderful in a border with other colorful perennials & grasses.

I used an AeroGrow set, (which has very small amt of growing medium) but I imagine you could use small pots, or even seed growing kits/egg cartons, just to begin growing the seeds. When approx 2-3 inches transplant to larger pots and/or outside if the weather is agreeable.

Probably. Definitely if you try to grow them outside. They generally make good houseplants--and can spend the winter inside, but I've always found that they tend to die back and go dormant (not always pretty) even inside. I'd wait until spring to plant the first time. You'll probably be happier with the results. You can also call the vendor for advice on this.

I purchased mine from Shantivanfarm and it was great. They are in southeast Florida so I am going to assume they can grow all year round?

You really need to look at a planting zone map (http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/), find your area and go from there. This is too broad a question.

it grew well in Florida, though during the hotter days I needed to water more. Honesty I would contact the company if I were you. Maybe there is another time of year you an grow (after the frost). I bought 3 packages. I really liked it.

Mine was grown in east TN and we had temps in the low 90's.I would think it would do fine(it was planted in a shady area)

I am not positive as I live in CA and our weather here is pretty moderate. I would probably check with your local University's Horticulture Dept or Nursery or Garden Center. Good luck.

Spring. They will over winter in some areas and are sold in the fall for fall planting. I don't know your zone, but it might be worth trying, I'd mulch them well after planting as a fall tuber. I'm in Alaska & only plant them in the spring.
