Can't wait for the full summer sun!

Velvet Queen Sunflower
Pleasantly happy with this collection

I have had some trouble with the rosemary and lavender - but who doesn't have trouble with that from seed? But the others have been GREAT little seedlings so far.

Wow! Great Grower!

Every seed came up, they're about 3' tall with a sturdy stem. Waiting until mid March to put out in the southern (Ga) garden. Will be licking my lips watching them flower and fruit. I like these as an addition to a traditional red tomato salad.

2019/20 Order

All of the seed in my order arrived in good time. The sweet chinese giant pepper is the only variety I've planted, and it germinated great and are doing well under lights.

My seeds came on time and I started them for sets. Just planted about 240 onion sets 2 weeks ago and they look great!

5 stars

I had 40 mph winds my greenhouse fell over and was so surprised the seeds survived two days in the cold under soil and are still growing. The roots were in tact so i transplanted them, they are doing just fine. 10 stars

Daikon (45 days)

aka Japanese Minowase Daikon Radish

Daikon is a root vegetable reported to have originated in the Mediterranean and brought to China for cultivation around 500 B.C. Roots are large, often 2 to 4 inches in diameter and 6 to 20 inches long. Very easy to grow.

The flavor is mild compared to other radishes and looks more like a carrot.
Daikon has high water content and is very low in calories. It is rich in vitamin C, potassium and folate and a good source of magnesium. The leaves contain beta-carotene, calcium and iron besides vitamin C.

The Daikon root has a crisp, mild flavour and is excellent fresh in salads. Roots can be peeled, sliced, grated, diced for soups and stews, boiled whole or dehydrated as strips.

Rabbits, goats, cows, hogs will enjoy the roots and chickens relish the tops! Diakons are a hardy staple on our farm!
We allow animals to graze entire fields planted as a cover crop.

Excellent for breaking up the soil, improves water penetration and allowing surface level nutrients down root channels. This has been deemed "bio-drilling". "In research plots, four times as many corn roots penetrated a compact subsoil after a forage radish cover crop as after winter fallow and twice as many as after a rye cover crop. Data suggests that biodrilling with cover crops like forage radish can substitute for expensive and energy intensive deep ripping and other mechanical methods to alleviate the effects of soil compaction."

"They're allelopathic, which means they give off a biochemical (glycosinolate compounds) that inhibits weed growth."

Excellent article on cover cropping with daikon.

Sprouts look great!

I planted my seeds and it looks like they are all sprouted. Should be a bumper crop!

Daikons

Put them in to two gardens, one in Midland MI and one in Traverse City MI probably 2-3 weeks ago. They have all sprouted and have leafed out. IVe thinned the plants but don’t expect to harvest them until mid October. I love their fluted leaves making them easy to distinguish from other radish seedlings.

Fast growth

Planted these 60 days ago and they are huge. Just using them for soil prep so I have not eaten any of them.

Trifolium pratense Organic Medium Red Clover Medium red clover is a short-lived perennial used to supply nitrogen. Unlike other legumes, it fixes a lot of nitrogen even in high-nitrogen soils. It has shade tolerance so it can be overseeded into small grains and incorporated in May of the following year. Since red clover seedlings tend to be slow growing, it benefits from a nurse crop. It forms tap roots and is useful for remediation of compacted soils. Red clover is also good for weed supp...

Organic Winter Rye   Spring or Fall Planted Rye is unusual among grains for the high level of fiber in its endosperm – not just in its bran. Because of this, rye products generally have a lower glycemic index than products made from wheat and most other grains, making it especially healthy for diabetics. Rye Berries can be cooked as a whole grain, a hearty breakfast cereal or ground in your own mill for the freshest rye flour available. Rye can also be sprouted to use in salads and on san...
