I like that the Brussels Sprouts seeds I got were Texas tested. They terminated well and are beginning to make sprouts. I also like the little pouch the seeds come in.

So easy to deal with this company. Knowing that I am able to purchase stock from a company that has plants totally suitable for this Texas weather is a treat. Another year of garlic, onions, and leeks with a tshirt thrown in too boot.
Quick turnaround of orders, emails come through (you control email settings) advising planting, harvest, etc.

I ordered onion sets in mid-December to be sent to another address. On Christmas Eve I got a call from Dixondale Seeds customer service saying that the post office had returned my purchase to them because of an incorrect address which was my mistake. I corrected the address and they resent the onions. They send a fresh batch and charged me nothing for the additional cost of shipping and replacing the onions. Who does that??? Dixondale does.

Eggshells Do Not Deter Slugs or Snails

Posted on May 25, 2020 by Brian Gallimore

Using eggshells in the garden is one of the most prominent #GardenMyths I see on social media. I ran across this picture, which sums it up nicely. The poster explains that she tried to use eggshells to keep slugs away. Her picture shows multiple snails climbing right over the eggshells with no problem. Some of the comments to this post were amusing: “you have to grind them up to work correctly”, “you have to bake them in your oven first” and on and on. The truth is eggshells don’t repel slugs or snails. (they attract them) Eggshells don’t fix blossom end rot. Eggshells don’t give your soil a calcium boost. One of my favorite websites has lots more information about using eggshells in the garden, and you can read more at https://www.gardenmyths.com/eggshells-not-use-garden/
