Spinach Seeds, Bloomsdale Spinach Seed, NON-GMO, Heirloom Seed, 100 Seed Pack

Spinach Seeds, Bloomsdale Spinach Seed, NON-GMO, Heirloom Seed, 100 Seed Pack Bloomsdale Spinach Seeds , 100 Seed Pack, Shipped First Class SCIENTIFIC NAME:Spinacia oleraceaCULTURE:Spinach grows in a wide range of soils if moist and fertile but is sensitive to acidity; pH should be at least 6.0, preferably 6.5–7.5. Spinach germinates best in cool soil. Begin sowing in early spring as soon as the ground can be worked. Summer sowing in soil over 85°F (30°C) risks low or erratic germination. If sowing must be done during warmer weather, irrigating can help cool the soil and improve germination. Sow in mid-to-late summer for a fall harvest. Spinach can also be planted from late summer through the winter in protected structures for fall, winter, and spring harvest, though growth rates are much slower. Using floating row covers offers additional winter protection. TRANSPLANTING:While direct seeding is customary, some growers choose to transplant their spinach.Transplanting can help ensure full stands if germination has been difficult, either because of warm soil temperatures or diseases like damping off. DIRECT SEEDING:For baby leaf: Sow 3–5 seeds/inch in rows at least 2″ apart. For bunching and full size: Sow 10 seeds/ft., 1/2″ deep in rows 12–18″ apart. SUCCESSION PLANTING:For a continuous supply, sow every 7–10 days. HARVEST:For baby leaf: Harvest when leaves reach desired size in 3–5 weeks, depending on time of year and speed of growth, making sure to cut above the basal plate for cut-and-come-again harvests. A second cut is possible by choosing appropriate varieties in all the seasonal slots. Triple-rinse leaves, sort out cut and broken leaves, and package. For full size: Harvest the long stems just above the basal plate, or, by cutting just below the basal plate for whole-plant harvest. When growing winter spinach, harvest largest leaves and allow the smaller ones to size-up for later harvests. Full-size spinach can be sold as loose leaves or bunched. STORAGE:Store at 32°F (0°C) and 95% relative humidity for 10–14 days. AVG. SEEDING RATE:For baby leaf: 1M/25′, 25M/125′, 1,200M/acre at 40 seeds/ft. in rows at least 2″ apart. For full-size leaves: 10M/1,000′, 290M/acre at 10 seeds/ft. in rows 12–18″ apart. SEED SPECS:SEEDS/LB.: 24,800–45,800 (avg. 38,800). Listing and template services provided by inkFrog

Clemson Spineless Okra seed, Certified Seed, Heirloom, NON GMO, 50 Seed Packet

Clemson Spineless Okra seed, Certified Seed, Heirloom, NON GMO, 50 Seed Packet 50 Seed Packets Clemson Spineless Okra Seed, Certified Seed, USA GrownGrowing Okra Clemson Spineless – open pollinated, spineless #80, dark green pods, 4- to 5-foot-tall plants.  Okra is a member of the Malvaceae or mallow family. Other plants in this family include cotton, hollyhock, and hibiscus. PrepareOkra performs best in well-drained, fertile soils in full sun. Avoid wet, poorly drained sites. Soil pH is generally not a problem as okra grows well in soils that are slightly acidic to slightly alkaline (pH 6.5 to 7.5).  Before planting, apply 1 to 2 pounds of an all-purpose garden fertilizer, such as 10-10-10, per 100 square feet. When harvesting begins, sprinkle a small amount of nitrogen around each plant. However, avoid heavy nitrogen applications, which may promote vegetative growth and reduce crop yields. PlantingOkra can be established by sowing seeds directly into the garden or by setting out transplants. To enhance germination, soak okra seeds in water for several hours or overnight before sowing.  Sow okra seeds outdoors about 2 weeks after the danger of frost is past. Sow seeds 1 inch deep. Space seeds 4 to 6 inches apart within the row. Rows should be spaced 3 feet apart. When seedlings are several inches tall, thin the row so the remaining plants are spaced 1 1/2 to 2 feet apart.  Okra seedlings do not transplant well.   When starting plants indoors, sow okra seeds in peat pots.  Plant 2 seeds in each pot. After germination, thin to one plant per pot. Sow okra seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the intended outdoor planting date. GrowingOkra can tolerate dry conditions. However, watering may be necessary during extended dry periods. Moisture is especially important during flowering and pod development. During prolonged dry periods, a deep soaking once every 7 to 10 days should be adequate. HarvestingHarvest pods when 2 to 4 inches long. (This is usually 5 to 6 days after flowering.) Use a sharp knife or hand shears. Handle the pods carefully as they bruise easily. Since the pods develop rapidly, it’s often necessary to harvest pods every other day in July and August.Pods that are more than 5 inches in length become tough and stringy. While the larger pods are still edible, their quality is usually considered unacceptable. Pods that have become too large to use should be promptly picked and discarded. Pods that are allowed to mature on the plant will reduce additional flowering and fruiting.Some individuals are sensitive to the okra’s leaves and stems and may develop a rash or itch. Sensitive individuals should wear gloves and a long-sleeved shirt when harvesting the pods. StorageOkra deteriorates quickly after harvest. Pods can be stored for 7 to 10 days at a temperature of 45 to 50 F and relative humidity of 90 to 95%. Pod discoloration and decay may occur at temperatures below 45 F. Surplus may be frozen, canned, or pickled. Listing and template services provided by inkFrog
