Herodotus wrote of lettuce being served in ancient Greece, and it was a favorite vegetable in ancient Rome. In fact, the word \"lettuce\" is derived from the Latin root word \"lac\" meaning \"milk,\" referring to the milky juice found in mature lettuce stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eColumbus and other European explorers brought lettuce seeds to the New World. Our early colonists included lettuce in the first gardens planted in American soil. Today, lettuce is a favorite vegetable here and around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\nOne head of this excellent romaine is just right when you’re making a salad for two. This lettuce produces a blend of tasty green outer leaves and golden blanched inner leaves that taste best when picked minutes before your meal. Plant Little Caesar early in spring or in the fall, because it grows best in cool weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpacing: 8-12in (20-30cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExposure: Full Sun - 6+ hours direct sun\u003cbr\u003e\nTo maximize lettuce production, plant lettuce in raised beds. The raised beds warm up faster than the surrounding ground, so you should be able to get an earlier start in the spring and a later crop in the fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo make the most of limited garden space, plant lettuce around taller plants like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, peppers, and eggplants. The lettuce helps its neighbor by keeping the surrounding soil moist and cool and keeping weeds shaded out. As the taller plants grow, they provide needed shade for the lettuce as the days get warmer.  Many varieties of lettuce are also welcome additions to ornamental beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Choose a sunny location (6+ hours of sun) and dig a hole about two times as wide as your pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Remove your plant from the pot by loosening the soil and tipping it out into your hand. Place your plant in the soil about as deep as it was in the pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Refill the space around your plant with soil and press lightly to compact the dirt, keeping your plant firmly in the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Water immediately to settle the soil, and add more soil as needed, bringing it level to the rest of your garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe key to lettuce production is supplying moderate but almost constant water, especially during hot weather. Unless there is regular rainfall, lettuce must be watered deeply at least once a week—more frequently during periods of drought. Use a thin layer of mulch to help the soil retain moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLettuce is generally disease and pest free, but you should still be vigilant.  Watch for lettuce rot which first attacks the lower leaves in contact with the soil and then spreads throughout the plant. The best way to prevent diseases is to rotate crops. Don't plant lettuce in the same bed two years in a row.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLettuce can be harvested any time after true leaves form. For the best quality, it's better to pick early than late as lettuce allowed to grow too long may be bitter and tough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo harvest romaine varieties, cut the plant right at the soil line when mature, if you prefer to harvest full heads. You can do the same with butterhead and looseleaf lettuce. To keep the plants in producing longer, harvest only the outer leaves, as needed. Try to harvest in the morning when the leaves are crisp, sweet, and full of moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince lettuce is primarily water, it does not store well. For the best quality and flavor, use homegrown lettuce soon after harvest. This is particularly true for many of the looseleaf varieties that wilt quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shortcake Farms \"The Seed Vault\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45249373667514,"sku":"sku-41195684397230","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6665\/5418\/files\/il_fullxfull.2380448978_p6jn_8b14bbb4-7645-4294-b781-92bab38e3778.jpg?v=1760833062"},{"product_id":"rare-native-american-heirloom-organic-black-aztec-corn-seeds-black-mexican-corn-seeds","title":"RARE  (NATIVE AMERICAN) Heirloom Organic Black Aztec Corn Seeds (Black Mexican Corn) Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eRARE Heirloom Organic Black Aztec Corn Seeds (Black Mexican Corn) Seeds (8)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlack Mexican\u003cbr\u003e\nSweet Corn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e85 days — This very old heirloom variety produces seven inch ears on approximately six foot tall plants. When the kernels are still light colored, the ears can be picked and used as sweet corn. Allowing the ears to mature, the kernels turn black, gray-black, or bluish-black in color. Harvested at that mature stage, it can be dried and ground for corn meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs with many heritage or heirloom seed varieties, the history of 'Black Mexican' becomes somewhat vague the farther back in time we dig.  What we do know is that Burr referenced it in his 1863 book on garden vegetable varieties[1] and in that same year, James J. H. Gregory listed it in his seed company's catalog.[2] In 1875, J. J. H. Gregory said of this variety, \"it is the sweetest and tenderest for table use of all varieties I am acquainted with.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years it has been known as, or synonymous with, 'Black Aztec', 'Black Sugar', 'Black Sweet', 'Mexican Sweet', and simply as 'Mexican'.  Fairly rare and in limited supply.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003ePlanting\u003cbr\u003e\nBlack Aztec corn is a warm-season vegetable, meaning it requires warm temperatures to germinate and grow. Plant Black Aztec corn when soil temperatures are at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit after the last frost date. Full sun and well-draining, rich soil are a must for this crop. Black Aztec corn will benefit from a 2-inch layer of compost mixed into the top 6 inches of soil at the planting site. Plant seeds in groups of three spaced every nine to 12 inches along a row. Cover each seed grouping with 1 1\/2 inches of soil and water thoroughly. Since this corn variety is open-pollinating, three to four short rows spaced 30 to 36 inches apart allow for adequate pollination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWatering\u003cbr\u003e\nAlthough Black Aztec corn is drought tolerant, supplemental watering is important to ensure a healthy, mature crop. It will grow in dry conditions, but cobs will be small with small, hard kernels. Soil moisture is especially critical when plants produce tassels for pollination and during fruit ripening. This corn variety grows best with at least 1 inch of water per week. Water corn rows when rainfall is scarce and when the top 1 inch of soil becomes dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFertilizing\u003cbr\u003e\nCorn plants are heavy nitrogen feeders, and the Black Aztec variety is no exception. Nitrogen deficiencies in Black Aztec corn cause leaves to turn yellow and growth to slow. Two high-nitrogen fertilizer applications during the growing season will ensure the crop has sufficient nutrients. Fertilize the corn plants with a 46-0-0 fertilizer when they reach 12 to 15 inches in height. Spread the fertilizer in a line, four to six inches to the side of the plants' bases, at a rate of 1\/2 pound per 100 square feet. Rake the fertilizer into the soil and water the ground thoroughly. Make the second application at a rate of 1\/4 pound per 100 square feet when plants produce silk tassels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance\u003cbr\u003e\nBlack Aztec corn requires minimal maintenance besides watering and fertilizing. Regular weeding around the rows will stop unwanted plants from absorbing nitrogen meant for the corn plants. Removing weeds also eliminates hiding spots for corn pests such as the corn earworm, European corn borer, fall armyworm or corn rootworm. If these insects become a problem, set traps around the corn plants to attract and catch the insects. This works well for small infestations only. Larger populations must be treated with an insecticide sprayed onto the plant's leaves every five days when the insect's eggs hatch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shortcake Farms \"The Seed Vault\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45249373700282,"sku":"sku-41195681906862","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6665\/5418\/files\/il_fullxfull.2418147860_8xry_9cb7a376-3adc-48c3-b9e4-150412ae82df.jpg?v=1760833062"},{"product_id":"heirloom-organic-cal-sweet-supreme-watermelon-seeds","title":"Heirloom Organic Cal Sweet Supreme Watermelon Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeirloom Organic Cal Sweet Supreme Watermelon Seeds (10)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis oblong open-pollinated watermelon usually grows to 30 pounds, and the dark red flesh and brown seeds make it a universal favorite.

Cut off all but the strongest seedling as soon as true leaves appear, and transplant about a week after frost; put two or three plants in each hill with a 6-8' space in all directions.

Keep the soil moist until the fruit begins to grow, then water only if the soil dries out completely. Watch out for insect pests, which can be a problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHarvesting: Gardeners use many different methods of testing whether their watermelons are ripe, but knowing the approximate mature size of the melon helps to determine when it is nearing ripeness. One test is to knock on the watermelon with your knuckles, listening for a dull thump rather than a hollow ring. Another method is to check the underside of the melon where it rests on the ground; the skin should be a rich yellow. Also, the curling tendril closest to the stem of the melon often indicates ripeness when it begins to turn brown. Watermelons usually keep for several weeks in a cool place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeed Saving: Watermelons will cross with other varieties of watermelon, so isolation may be necessary to ensure genetic purity. When the melon is ripe, the seeds will be mature. Cut open the melon and remove the seeds; wash them to remove the sticky residue. Spread Cal Sweet Supreme watermelon seeds out to dry for a week, then store them in a cool place for up to four years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis oblong open-pollinated watermelon usually grows to 30 pounds, and the dark red flesh and brown seeds make it a universal favorite.

Danish Ballhead cabbage seeds produce heirloom cabbages that are mild and tender. This is a great, general-purpose cabbage that is good for sauerkraut, coleslaw, or general cooking. Big 8-25cm (7-10\"), light-green, well-protected heads stand happily in the garden well into the winter. It happens that Denmark has the ideal geography for producing cabbage seeds. The wind and humidity and mild temperatures provide the perfect conditions for cabbage breeders. This is why so many cabbages refer to Denmark or Copenhagen in their names. Danish Ballhead was first introduced in 1887, and has remained a favourite ever since. Cabbage is another member of the Brassica family that is full of nutrients, including vitamins A, B1, B2, and C, as well as various antioxidants. The American Cancer Society strongly urges an increased intake of cabbage and other Brassicas in the diets of North Americans. Eating lots of cabbage may also protect the eyes from macular degeneration. To preserve its vitamins and mineral content, do not overcook cabbage. Store cut cabbage in the refrigerator in a plastic bag with holes in it and use as soon as possible. Cabbages are also highly ornamental in the garden -choose varieties for colour, deep-red, blue-green, dark-green or leaf texture, savoyed (crinkled), or flat leaf.

Atlee \u0026amp; Company in 1887. It has been a dependable variety, resisting bolting and splitting and keeping until late spring. Produces round, blue-green, seven to eight inch diameter heads weighing five to seven pounds. Adapted to the Northeast and does well in mountainous areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough known as 'Danish Ballhead' in North American, it is actually a short-stemmed strain of the old Danish variety called 'Amager'.

In the winter of 1884-5 several large shipments were made to New York, where ready sales, at high prices, were realized. The variety has been selected and perfected for more than fifty years by the Danish gardeners and it is remarkable that the seed has not been offered before in America. We have imported, at a high price, a limited supply of the seed direct from the best growers in Denmark and can recommend it with full confidence. The heads are hard as they can be, round as a ball, of good marketable size, of extra choice quality, very fine grained, and remarkably good keepers.\u003cbr\u003e\nMatures in 120 days.

No, the seeds are inside the fruit, and it takes a little work to separate them from the pulp. You can use fruit from an existing bush or from those purchased at the grocers, but the results may be poor or non-existent. Blueberries do not self pollinate, which means they are rather unpredictable and their offspring do not duplicate the parent. It is better to purchase viable blueberry seeds for planting from a nursery, but if you would like to experiment, here is how to prepare blueberry seeds for planting. To prepare blueberry seeds for planting, the fruit will need to be macerated. This can be done in a food processor, blender or mashed in a bowl. Add a little water to the berries as you do this. Once the fruit is mashed, remove the floating pulp. Seeds will sink to the bottom. You may need to add water several times to remove the pulp completely. Once you have gathered the blueberry bush seeds, they must be scarified. Place them in some damp paper towels and put them in the freezer for 90 days. Cold stratification will break the seeds’ rest period so they are ready for planting.\u003cbr\u003e Blueberry Seed Planting Once the 90 days have elapsed, the seeds can be used immediately or kept in the freezer until you are ready to plant them. Blueberry seed planting should commence in the fall in warm climates and in the spring in more northerly climes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant the seed in dampened sphagnum peat moss in seed trays and cover them with ¼ inch (6 ml.) of soil. Keep the medium consistently moist. Be patient; blueberry seed planting may take six to eight weeks to germinate, some not for three months. The hybrid high bush seeds germinate more unreliable than their wild low bush relatives. Keep the seeds in a warm, sunny area (60-70 degrees F\/15-21 C). If lacking in sunlight, suspend a fluorescent light about 14 inches (36 cm.) above the seedlings. The resulting seedling from the growing blueberry seeds will look like grass with a few tiny leaves atop. During the first year of blueberry seed planting, the seedlings may get no taller than 5-6 inches (13-15 cm.) in height. Once the blueberry bush seed plants are big enough to transplant, move them into pots in a sunny, warm area and keep moist. The growing blueberry seed plants can be fertilized with a liquid fertilizer after two to three weeks in their pots. The resulting blueberry bush seed plants will bear fruit during year two when the plant is 1-2 feet (30-61 cm.) tall. It may take several years when growing blueberries from seed before the plant will produce any significant amount of fruit. So, again, be patient, but once established, the plant will keep you supplied with this super food for decades to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluecrop is a highbush blueberry cultivar. It produces all-purpose blueberries that are firm and somewhat tart—great for preserves, baking, freezing and fresh eating. With this shrub, you will harvest as much as 10–20 lbs. of fruit every July. It also provides some nice landscape value with a bloom of white flowers in May and fiery red color in the fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlueberry plants are self-fertile, but cross-pollination produces a better crop—creating larger yields of larger berries. So it is best to plant more than one variety with the same bloom time 4—6′ apart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shortcake Farms \"The Seed Vault\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45249375043770,"sku":"sku-41250405843118","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6665\/5418\/files\/il_fullxfull.2826347165_st3l_018c37a1-8488-470d-a02f-40fcc5ba0d02.jpg?v=1760833067"},{"product_id":"heirloom-organic-mountain-sweet-yellow-watermelon-seeds","title":"Heirloom Organic Mountain Sweet Yellow Watermelon Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeirloom Organic Mountain Sweet Yellow Watermelon Seeds (10)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCutting into this large, 20–35 pound, oblong melon will reveal plenty of juicy, sweet, yellow fruit.

germinating orchids needed for this plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVanilla, or Vanilla planifolia, is a vining orchid native to Mexico and it’s one of the most highly sought after spices in cultivation. Vanilla has become a mainstay flavoring and essence in the world of culinary and perfumes. Today, vanilla is grown mostly for commercial production in Madagascar, Reunion Island, Comoro Islands, Indonesia and Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eT• Vanilla Bean Plant Light Requirements\u003cbr\u003e Vanilla plants prefer good bright light but not hot, noonday sun. However, they won’t grow well or flower in deep shade so partial sun is what they need. If you are looking for plants that do well in the shade or with limited light, you may be interested in these low light houseplants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Temperature Requirements\u003cbr\u003e Vanilla grows best in warm temperatures, preferably in the 70’s to 90’s. Cooler temperatures will slow down the growth. Keep temperatures above 60˙F for the most part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Potting Mix\u003cbr\u003e It’s preferable to use sphagnum moss or coco-chip orchid medium or an orchid potting mix. All of these mixes help aerate the roots and give proper drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Watering a Vanilla Bean Plant\u003cbr\u003e When watering, the support and the soil media are watered so the air roots as well as the potting mix have access to moisture. Generally, the potting mix is allowed to dry a little between waterings to help avoid root diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• When to Fertilize a Vanilla Plant\u003cbr\u003e Vanilla orchids benefit from regular applications of fertilizer. A balanced plant fertilizer is recommended using a dilute solution at every other watering during the summer months. Even a constant fertilizer regime (used with each watering) with dilute levels of nutrients can improve growth (use ¼ tsp\/ gal of a 7-9-5 formula). Be sure to occasionally leach the potting media with clear water to avoid fertilizer salt build-up. We have also found it beneficial to supplement with Orchid Myst, a spray that is used to enhance the growth of the orchids and to prolong flowering. It contains many micro-nutrients that keep orchids healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shortcake Farms \"The Seed Vault\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45249374978234,"sku":"sku-41250399158446","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6665\/5418\/files\/il_fullxfull.2835117067_3tvu_e377704d-7c69-4a4d-aa00-c593f9f7d1cc.jpg?v=1760833067"},{"product_id":"organic-blue-bedder-salvia-mealy-cup-sage-salvia-farinacea-seeds","title":"Organic Blue bedder Salvia\/ Mealy cup Sage\/Salvia Farinacea Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrganic Blue bedder Salvia\/ Mealy cup Sage Seeds (25)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnnual Flower\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlso known as Mealy cup Sage, Texas Mealy cup Sage\u003cbr\u003e\nSalvia farinacea\u003cbr\u003e\nLamiaceae Family\u003cbr\u003e\nAt home in the herb or annual garden, the silvery purple flowers of this fragrant plant are borne on tall, erect spikes.

For an early summer crop, sow seeds indoors 2 months before the last spring frost; sow them 1\/4\" deep. When the seedlings emerge, thin them to 6\" apart. Four weeks after planting them, set them outside 12\" apart. For a fall crop, direct sow seeds in July. Water the ground, scatter the seeds on the surface, then cover with 1\/3\" of soil. When the seedlings emerge, thin them to 12\" in all directions. Areas with warmer winters may be able to plant a winter crop about two months before the last frost.\u003cbr\u003e\nGrowing Green Curled Ruffec Endive Seeds: Keep the soil moist to prevent toughness or a bitter taste, but avoid getting the leaves wet as this may cause rotting. Mulch helps conserve moisture and control weeds. If desired, blanch the leaves about 2-3 weeks before harvesting by tying together the outer leaves to shade the inner part of the plant. Make sure that the leaves of the plant are completely dry before tying them, or rotting may result.\u003cbr\u003e\nHarvesting Green Curled Ruffec Endive: Cut individual leaves for baby greens as soon as they reach a good size for eating. Cut mature heads off at the base. For additional growth, leave an inch of stem.\u003cbr\u003e\nSaving Green Curled Ruffec Endive Seeds: Endive needs to be overwintered in order to produce seed. For areas with severe winters, this requires cutting the plant down to 2\" and storing the roots in a humid location in damp sand at 33-40 degrees F until spring, when they can be replanted. Endive can survive milder winters with a thick layer of mulch. Allow the plant to flower and go to seed; when the seed heads are dry and the seeds feel dry and firm, spread them out on a surface to dry for at least 10 days. Either plant the seed heads whole or clean them by putting them in a bag and applying pressure with a heavy weight. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place for up to eight years.\u003cbr\u003e\nDetailed Green Curled Ruffec Endive Info: Cichorium endivia. Also known as frisee.
