"Yes your right.  It's probably more a deep plum than a burgandy. Maybe we can trade bulbs this winter."

My mother sent me these seeds to add to my garden. She's on the N. OK border. I would like to know what they are so I can research the needs of the plant first.  Not sure it is something I can grow her in Zone 8 in TX.Thanks for any help,MardiSee More

"Mites:  For insect and arachnid control I grow very hot peppers and blend them to juice and add 2oz to a gal of water and spray.  Note I said control ... they do come back but treatment is easy and effective.  Cheers!"

Probably 4 years ago I started having insect issues. Last year I fought Spider mites all season, spraying 3 days a week.  I had no luck controlling them and lost most of my plants and had a very poor product yield. This invasion included zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell pepper, not the onions, okra or jalapenos.
