Feed Your Garden with Burpee's RSS Syndication
Here's The Scoop
Get the latest news from Burpee- wherever you want it- whenever you want it. Thanks to a format called RSS, we can provide you with more gardening news and great deals than ever before.
What is RSS?
Do you check your favorite website everyday to see if it's been updated? Does it feel like you're looking into an empty refrigerator, hoping that food will magically appear? Look no more. Keep track of your favorite websites in one location using RSS. When a website updates, you see a description of the change and a link. It's that simple. In fact, RSS means "Really Simple Syndication". Yahoo has a nice introduction. Reuters has a quick RSS primer, and c|net also provides a good intro.

1) Choose an RSS reader (we provide a starter list below).
2) Subscribe to one or all of our feeds by copy and pasting this link into your reader's "add feed" or "subscribe" form:
