  • 9 Must Do’s to grow garlic successfully

    Jul 23, 2018 Categories: Annuals, Garlic, Growing Instructions, Seeding the Future, Vegetables

    Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About GARLIC!! Today we begin a series on garlic designed to teach you everything you need to know to choose, to plant, to nourish, to harvest, to cure and to enjoy that magnificent vegetable we call garlic. Researchers now believe, based on biochemical and molecular markers from the most primitive fertile garlic strains identified by collectors, that garlic originated on the northwestern side of the Tien Shan in Central Asia. It began to be cultivated in that area and then was transported to China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Iran and Turkmenistan. From there it made its way into Turkey and eventually into Europe. In prehistoric times, garlic may have been indigenous to a broad area from China and India

    Mar 02, 2016 Categories: Growing Instructions

    Tithonia (Mexican Sunflower) - A Little History and Some Growing Instructions The Tithonia, also known as The Mexican Sunflower is a member of the Daisy family and native to Mexico and Central America where it grows in the brush or among the scrubby grasses at the sides of roads or forests.

  • The Zinnia – A Flower for All Gardens

    Mar 02, 2016 Categories: Growing Instructions

    The Zinnia - A Flower for All Gardens - A Little History and Some Growing Instructions Few plants offer the dazzling array of color choices and large flowers that characterize the Zinnia family. Only dahlias and, perhaps, roses, can compete for size of bloom, intensity of color and showiness. The zinnia asks very little of its garden caretaker and gives so very much. Zinnias can be grown almost anywhere. They are not finicky about soil or water, but they do require full sun. The more you deadhead them, the more flowers they will produce. Japanese beetles do love them, but so do butterflies - lots and lots of butterflies. In mid to late summer, they are very prone to developing powdery mildew on their leaves, but this

  • The Tomato

    Mar 02, 2016 Categories: Growing Instructions

    The Tomato - A Little History and Some Growing Instructions Of all the vegetables grown in America, none is more universally beloved than the tomato, and yet, for many decades, this delightful fruit was shunned by Americans who considered it poisonous. The tomato is native to Mexico and western South America where it grows as a perennial. It has been a staple of the diet of these regions for thousands of years. Many of the wild varieties are small, intensely flavored and borne in clusters. Other types of wild and semi-wild tomatoes are larger, but deeply ribbed. The larger fruited varieties probably originated on the eastern slopes of the Andes where there is substantially more rainfall than on the arid western slopes. Both kinds of tomatoes were
