Got just what I ordered, fast and inexpensive - and holy mackerel, are these babies HOT!

After reading a couple of other folks' experience with this, I must admit that I thought it was just me: I purchased the seeds. They came, as indicated above, in a small zip-lock bag with instructions. I went to great pains to germinate and grow these plants. When they started to take off, I began to worry that they looked a lot like the habaneros I was also growing. Alas, after months of work and care: regular habaneros one could find/buy anywhere. I'd like to think we are entitled to a refund or replacement; just don't know how to go aboout it. Had to give this 1 star, as 0 stars is not an option. Hirts hurts!

I bought from their site directly earlier this year. I've been growing bhuts for a few years now (usually from another distributor) but I was too late in getting them this year. I found Hirts who was out of the bhut plants but had what they described as a 'Chocolate bhut jolokia'. They claim on their site it grows naturally in the Assam area (where bhuts originate). I kind of felt like it was a bit of a scam since I've never heard of a Chocoalate Bhut and figured it was likely a cross breed of a chocolate Habanero and a Bhut. Whelp, I got the plants (they were in very good condition) and grew them and much to my disappointment they've turned out to be just regular Chocolate Habanero plants.

I ordered the Bhut Jolokia plant from Hirts Gardens. I got the plant and it was ok and grew very well. But when the peppers started growing I noticed it wasn't the Bhut Jolokia it was a Habanero pepper. The tag on the plant is for the Bhut Jolokia plant. I am very disappointed in this company. I will order another Bhut Jolokia plant but not from Hirts Gardens since they can't keep their inventory correct. I don't recomend buying from them since you don't know what they are going to send you.

I bought these seeds because I love chili so much. I heard about Buht Jolokia a lot and have a dream to plant myself. I bought from Hirt's company, but when I read reviews about this company...I felt regret. It sounded bad company. I received my seeds today, and I'm happy...nice and good packet and came along with information too. I'll give 5 stars when my seeds germinate... Thanks

A very easy-to-use sprouter that works especially well for beans and grains (I prefer the old Mason-jar-with-stainless-mesh-lid method for green sprouts). It works so well, in fact, that I was caught off guard when my last batch of lentils (which I previous used jars for) grew faster than I expected, and got to leaf stage! Would be a great sprouter for kids.

I'v never sprouted before and got this for my vegitarian 9 year old son. It is so much fun and so easy I can't even believe more people don't do it. I appriciate everyone's ratings here because you all (not I'm not southern)helped me decide to try it. With a total of maybe 5 minutes over 4 days, you get a few cups of sprouts. (probably quicker than finding in a grocery store, where you have to bag, twistie tye, scan, load, unload, wash....) We got the salad mix. They taste delicious although our daughter who is younger, thinks the mix is "too spicy." I like the bite to it though. I put them is taco shells, on tomatoe soup, on salad, eat with crackers and cheese. They are very flavorful. Thanks everyone!

As a novice I found the directions obscure and unhelpful and had difficulty with my first try. Only after reading other reviews did I comprehend how to do sprouting.

We wanted to start heading towards more 'raw' foods, and many recipes we found required sprouts of one type or another. I ordered two of these sprouting jars/cups, and they work great. Sprouting is now 100% hassle free. I've already recommended these to others, and wouldn't hesitate to do so again.

For about a year I'd been using a two tier plastic sprouter, about five inches square with a base, two clear trays, and a lid. It worked but I wanted to try this Easy Sprout and I am so glad I did. It is incredibly simple and works perfectly. I use mine for broccoli (I buy organic seeds from Sprout House) and I find I do not need the small seed insert that comes in the kit. The included instructions are ridiculous and if you go by them you will think it's too much trouble to make your own sprouts. All I do is put the inner cup inside the outer cup, pour 1/4 cup of seeds in, fill with water, and let soak overnight. Next morning I lift the inner cup (which has a perforated bottom) out and pour out the soak water, replace inner cup (with soaked seeds in it), fill with water and let the seeds rinse, drain again, I do that twice at least. From then on it's just a matter of rinsing and draining twice a day. This sprouter makes twice as many sprouts per batch compared to the two tiered square sprouter. You can use the Easy Sprouter to store your sprouts in the 'fridge but I have another system for storing so I don't. I have a colander that fits inside an old Tupperware iceburg lettuce keeper. I put my drained and somewhat air dried sprouts in the colander inside the lettuce keeper and put the lid on. That way my sprouts have room to breath and are up in the colander with air circlulating around, yet still covered. Works great. Update - Two small changes would make this sprouter even better - give it some color somewhere because it's nearly invisible and being tall you can easy knock it over not realizing it's sitting there. The other improvement would be to make the little ledges that hold the inner container up in the high position easier to use. They are very slight and slanty so it takes some effort to get the stays of the inner container to rest on them.

I bought this item for my wife for Christmas. Following instructions, the seeds came up, and then turned light green, withered, and died. We have done as the instructions said, and are quite unhappy with the results. We would be willing to give it another try if we could get additional English Garden seed pods, as we originally bought. We are mature, in our 70's, and not used to complaining, but this kit is certainly not up to expectation. Gene Lehman

It is a fine product if you don't want to deal with dirt and seeds. It is easy to set up, and not much attention is needed after setting up the system. You can also switch to different seed kit using the same system.

It works like a dream! Small enough for apartments but gives you wonderful results. New pods and replacements are easy to find, so you can always have a small indoor garden year-round.

I received an Aerogarden 3 for Mother's Day and my daughter-in-law saw it and just loved it. So when her birthday came around, I got one for her and she is thrilled! I bought a packet of tomatoes separately since they are one of her favorites.

So I got this as a gift for my dad and the first one came DOA (the air pump did not work) once I got the second one I followed all of the instructions on the kit and yes, the flower started to grow, but as time passed it started to rot and eventually all of them died I would not recommend this product

I got it a couple of days after I ordered it, and it was in great condition. Like new!

I got this album used, years after the song "I Know" was big on the radio. I heard it again, and thought, "I really like this song." I still do. For the price of the album is was worth it. The remake of "Black Bird" is cool too, but the rest of the album hasn't quite grabbed me yet.

I received the product in a timely manner. The description online matched the state of the CD, and I'm happy with the purchase.

The album has a few good songs on it, but it's the only place you can find the song "I Know" these days, as it is not available via MP3 download from anywhere. Used, it was a good deal.

I love this CD - I loved the Single back in 1995 - It sounds as if it was "DROPPED" yesterday! J A C

This cd was a genuine delight. The music, plus really good liner notes, was an education in itself. I knew little about this group of composer- arrangers and the time in which they lived. "Fat White Woman Whom Nobody Loves" may not have been meant as humorous, but it was anyway. This has got to be one of the KS'S all-time best.

I've been using this for a couple of months. The only problem I've had, is that condensation on the dome will leak out when you move the tray. Other than that, it works well and is priced well.

I dont think I would pay much more for this than a regular heat mat - the value in this product is the heat mat. The only reason I bought this one was it was less expensive than most other heat mats. The mat works fine, and the germination station is handy, but it is just a cheap plastic container. Having said that, I dont know if you need much more than that to germinate plants, so I wouldnt consider that a con.

I find that convenience often outweighs the quality or even usability of the product. The thought that you could just place your plants out of sight out of mind while some miraculous grow kit does the work for you is an ideal based on nonsense. If it was that easy, there wouldn't be instructions. I have found that warmth assists in germination over 40 years of gardening. But I don't buy a dedicated germination kit. The standard seeding kits available for $3.00 are fine. I have one I like for the windowsill, not because I love the brand or soil it contains, but because it FITS ON THE WINDOWSILL!! That makes it convenient for me and agreeable to the wife. Heating pads are kind of silly. The cost is ridiculous and, if you really want to heat your seedlings, then put an electric blanket or throw under them. You can get a single blanket electric or throw for about $20 and you can sit like 6 of these starter trays on them and warm them all with a totally reusable unit. I did notice that when on the electric blanket, the seedlings start a bit earlier. And if in a colder area (basement/attic) the blanket was essential to get them to kick into gear. But the blanket is huge and you can cover a much wider starting area. If you want a smaller area, fold the blanket. Low temp is usually enough to keep my kit around 70, but your environment may be different. Don't put either outside in 20 degree weather or you will get chilling results. At any rate, these warming seed starting kits are a waste of money. If you have absolutely no sun exposure or are starting so many you can't keep them in the house on a window sill or near any window, then get a heating blanket and a grow light. Much cheaper in the long run.

Although it may seem a little over priced, it is the convenience that you pay for. The product is exactly what it shows, a plastic tub with a plastic top, plastic dirt moldings, and a heating pad. If you think about the price of the heating pad that fits perfectly with the container, it is well worth the while. In addition, I have had success with this product. I grow indoor coffee, and I have received a much quicker germination rate; as well as being healthier. Furthermore, it gives you great control of not only temperature, but humidity. In my opinion, that is a major plus.

I spent months trying to sprout different kinds of seeds, from brugmansias to palms...with a very low success rate. Then I decided to give this product a try and I finally began to see the results!! The constant heat is a must. I have also bought the big dome station which I prefer for its space and included ventilation on top. I'm really happy with these items. If handled with care they will last over and over.

This version of the classic story by Dickens is my favorite. Alastair Sim brought more life, for me, to the character of Scrooge than any other actor that has played the role. The reunion between him and his nephew on Christmas Day causes a welling in my throat, and tears to my eyes simply by thinking about it, where this actor's portrayal touched more closely to my soul.

This 1951 adaptation of A Christmas Carol used to be shown on at least one TV station every holiday season but disappeared in recent years. I consider it the best one and missed it so I bought the DVD. The quality is excellent. There is also a 'colorized' version included but I think colorizing original black and white films is pretty ridiculous. So we watched the black and while and loved it once again.

I can't believe I ordered in the pm and received it the next am. Wow, best service ever on line.

I have been looking for this for several years. Bought another version that was fluff. This is the movie that really describes Scrooge's transformation, without any ironic tone.

I watched all the different versions of this story, even the female versions. My opinion is no one can top A Christmas Carol better than Sims. T

I checked with my doctor and he endorsed it. It works and has replaced a prescription medication. There are no apparent side effects with Prosta-Response which I suffered on the prescription meds. Definitely worth a try.

Prosta-Response has apparently helped me accomplish certain medical goals, specifically to reverse increases shown in my PSA level over the last couple years. My last blood test confirmed a reduction in my PSA level to less than 4.0. My urologist reviewed the ingredients of this product during my last consultation and encouraged me to continue taking it.

This product really works. I can tell because when I recently forgot to take it with me on a 5 day trip - I was miserable after 2 days.

Good price for Omega 7, September 20, 2008 By Catherine Loewe "itsonlyrockandroll" (Gig Harbor, WA) - See all my reviews Balanceuticals Seabuckthorn Seed Oil, 500 mg Dietary Supplement Softgels, 60-Count BottleOil Omega 7 is extracted from Sea Buckthorn and is used in Chinese medicine to promote digestive and urogenital health. This is a new addition to my supplements list and it really works! New Chapter is the standard by which I compare other makers of this product and Balanceuticals seems to work the same, plus it costs less. These bottles contain 120 softgels, whereas some that appear to be the same size contain only 60. I buy quality first, but price is a very close second.

My son was having a hard time getting over a persistant cough left over from bronchitis and a lower respiratory infection. He had had it for weeks. His cough started getting better right after starting to take the Sea buckthorn capsules, and in about 3-4 days was totally gone. He took three a day during that time. I am taking it along with my prescription medicine) to help strengthen my auto immune system since I have a mild case of lupus and for all-over health improvement. I think I am noticing that I have more energy. We'll keep using it and see what happens. Thanks for such a good product.

I have a mild case of Rosacea and heard that Seabuckthorn Seed Oil might help. After taking it about a month, I started to see a difference in the redness on my face - it was fading and has continued to be much less red than before.

I did notice improvements. I recommend this product for a healthy immune system.

Delivery was fast, packaged well, seems to be a good product, will use it for spring garden.

I was given an Earthway seeder. It only had one plate and we wanted to plant a large plot with soybeans to imrove the soil. The seeder seemed like it would be the fastest way to plant the field and maintain rows, etc. The plates did fit the seeder You can't really talk about these plates without talking about the seeder. Many people swear by them. I didn't have much luck. I had 1/10th acre of fresh tilled ground. It was kind of lumpy. Before using the seeder you need to make the seed bed as smoothe as possible. Being a freshly converted meadow, it would have taken much repeated tilling, a disk harrow and a lot more work than I was willing to put in. The seeds need to remain dry, and the seeder needs to be constantly monitored to ensure seeds are being picked up and dropped by the seeder. Under ideal conditions this might have worked well. Under my conditions it was more trouble than it was worth.
