Corn - Honey & Cream

Corn - Honey & Cream - Click here for more info

The Corn Honey & Cream, 'Zea mays var rugosa', is excellent for small gardens and short growing seasons. If we had to choose two vegetables that were much better home grown than bought from a store, corn and tomatoes would be our choice. Honey and Cream allows gardeners with small plots or gardeners in northern climates to enjoy this wonderful flavor. The plant has 6 to 7 inch ears with 10 to 12 rows of very tender kernels. It is great fresh and Honey and Cream can be canned or frozen. Plant in the spring, a week or two after the last spring frost or when the soil is warm. In the deep south, this can be as early as February. Successive plantings in two week intervals will produce a much longer cropping season. Corn prefers a deep, rich well drained soil. Harvest the ears when the husks are dark green and the silks are brown but not brittle. Corn is usually ready 3 weeks after silks appear. - Category: Home Family - Garden - Seeds - Item: 453451589 - Corn - Honey & Cream

Kale - Red Winter

The Kale Red Winter, 'Brassica oleraceae (Acephla)', is a rare strain of Kale that has very tender, sweet leaves compared to other kales. Most Kale gets sweeter as the first frost hits. Red Winter, an improved Red Russian Kale, is sweet all the time and it is also very tender. Red Winter is excellent for your mesclun salad mixes, tasty garnishes, and lightly cooked dishes. The red-veins, wavy margins, and foliage that resembles oak leaves makes Red Winter almost dramatic looking in the garden. Plant in the spring, 4 weeks before the last expected frost or 10 to 12 weeks before first fall frost. Kale tastes best when grown in the fall. The soil needs to be well drained and have lots of organic matter. Kale can be harvested by cutting off the entire plant or by periodically stripping off the lower leaves. - Category: Home Family - Garden - Seeds Item: 453451596 - Kale - Red Winter

Leek

The Leek, 'Allium Ampeloprasum Porrum', has been a staple in European kitchens for centuries. This sweet, mild onion relative won't overpower other flavors in a dish. The Leek is under used and over priced in the U. S. The sweet, mild onion flavor of leeks makes them a versatile addition to many recipes. Leeks can be used as key ingredients in foods or blended without overpowering drained soil. Water the planting bed regularly because uneven moisture will affect taste and texture. Harvest Leeks when about 1 inch in diameter, firm and not too bulbous at the base. - Category: Home Family - Garden - Seeds Item: 453451597 - Leek
