If you download our catalogs or order forms, you'll see some references to Johnny's Easy Choice, AAS, and University of Minnesota Master Gardener winners. Here is an explanation of the different programs:

The Envelope Please... An explanation of awards:

Johnny's Easy Choice - Ideal for beginning gardeners. Johnny's Selected Seeds' field research team has selected no-fuss vegetable and herb varieties because they are easy to grow, widely adaptable, and taste great.

AAS Winner - All-America Selections is an independent non-profit organization that tests new, never-before-sold varieties for the home gardener. After a full season of anonymous trialing by volunteer horticulture professionals, only the top garden performers are given the AAS Winner award designation for their superior performance.

University of Minnesota Master Gardener Winner: Since 1982, hundreds of Master Gardener volunteers from across the state have devoted time and garden space to testing popular flower and vegetable varieties.

Each year, the seed trial gardeners test six vegetables and two flower varieties (and one herb, when possible). They look for the best return on investment.

They've tested heirlooms, seed saved from generation to generation, and varieties that promise high yield, ease of growing, space saving and simple beauty.

Whether your garden is made up of containers only or is supplemented with a few patio pots, there are a few tips that are important to know when raising vegetables in containers:

Use the biggest size container that you can find and will fit in your space. Then, fill the container quite densely with plants.
Always make sure there are drainage holes in the bottom of your container. If there are none, use an electric drill to make some.
You need to use a good quality potting soil. Pssst...this is expensive. So, plan on using it for a few seasons.
Your plants will need additional nutrition in order to grow healthy plants with nutritious fruit. You can add slow release fertilizer when you first prepare your soil for the season. You should continue to fertilize through the growing season.
Water appropriately. More plants are ruined by overwatering than by underwatering. The soil should be kept evening moist; not too dry and certainly not soaking wet.

Here's a 14 minute video that provides helpful information about growing vegetables in containers.
