Short Meadow
The Short Meadow Flower Mix exhibits a rainbow of color starting in the spring and continuing until fall. Be sure to keep the weeds pulled so they do not compete with the flowers for water and sun. This mix of twenty-two annuals and perennials, none more than 24 inches tall, is ideal for naturalizing sunny open areas, slopes, long borders, parking strips and cottage style gardens. In cool climates plant in the spring, 1 to 2 weeks before the last average frost date. Some of the varieties included are, Baby Blue Eyes, Blue Pimpernel, California Blue Bell, California Poppy, Daisy African, Poppy Iceland, Verbena Moss, and Wallflower Siberian. Soil must be kept moist while the seeds are germinating and beginning to grow. In mild climates, sow seed during cooler months, generally October through March. Do you long for the look of a wildflower meadow, but need to plant something with a slightly manicured appearance? Short Meadow is just that, a collection of low-growing, hardy, adaptable flowering plants that will transform any sunny area where height is a factor. ... find out more
Corn - Argent - white Successive plantings in two week intervals will produce a much longer cropping season. The ears will be about 8 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Argent is a white sweet corn with superb sweet, creamy flavor and excellent cultivation traits. Plant in the spring, a week or two after the last spring frost or when the soil is warm. Corn is usually ready 3 weeks after silks appear. It is unsurpassed in eating quality. The Corn Sweet Argent (White), 'Zea mays var rugosa (Hybrid)', is the best tasting white sweet corn there is. Harvest the ears when the husks are dark green and the silks are brown but not brittle. Corn prefers a deep, rich well drained soil. In the deep south, this can be as early as February. |
