Purple Dragon Carrot 350 Seeds - Absolutely unique Review

Purple Dragon Carrot 350 Seeds - Absolutely unique
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off, nothing I have purchased from Hirts has produced anything like the pictures, I'm positive they turn the saturation way up on the photos for showmanship. Despite my carrots not looking very much like the photo they were not a disappointment & the seeds came with instructions good enough for a novice planter. I did dock a star or two since what I saw in the photo and what I got were the most different of anything Ive gotten from this seller. In fact I wonder if my pack had atomic red carrots by mistake.
In the Rocky Mountain region around 30% of my seeds sprouted but this was my first time planting carrots. The carrots that resulted were more of a beet red than a purple, making them look like long bright beets. The colored flesh is only a millimeter deep, meaning only a scratch reveals the orange inside. The shape of the carrot was rather normal instead of tubular like online. The flavor was more earthy than a commercial carrot. I still recommend them, the shock value is there and they were great for coloring up sushi, salads, and steaming them takes out any bitterness.

Absolutely unique, purple-skinned carrots with deep orange flesh. They look amazing in salads or as a steamed vegetable. Roots have a high antioxidant and vitamin content, so are best eaten raw and are perfect for making carrot juice.

Thomcord Seedless Grape Vine One Gallon Plant Review

Note: This review is for the 5 gal size...I ended up buying three of these 5 gal grapes to crawl up my new column folly. They arrived very well packed, in healthy condition, and if anything, taller than described. I later had reason to call the nursery direct and found them to be very helpful and willing to walk out to find me a specific plant out in their lot. Having a lot of nurseries in the local area, and with grapes grown all around, I initially felt silly buying a vine online but this was the only place I could find the plants I wanted at the size I wanted - and it turned out to be the right answer! I highly recommend this product and Clifton's nursery.

Thomcord is a seedless grape developed from two of America's favorites--Concord, of peanut butter and jelly sandwich fame, and Thompson Seedless, a summertime classic--both are proud parents of a grape variety that you just got to try. Enjoy blue-black skin with whitish bloom and bold flesh color of the Concord, plus a pleasing Concord like flavor that's lightened by the sweet, mild taste of its Thompson parent. The fruit on the Thomcord is slightly firmer than Concord. Fruit ripens late July through mid August. Cold hardy to USDA zone 7 and probably zone 6. Shipped as a potted one gallon plant in its original soil and container.
