Wildflower Planting Suggestions 1. SOIL PREP - All existing vegetation should be removed. Expose soil and create a firm seed bed.

2. SEEDING - On small sites, broadcast with a cyclone spreader or by hand. Rake seed in lightly, 1/8 inch deep, ensuring contact with soil. Adding sand or vermiculite to the seeds will add bulk, aiding in more even distribution. On larger areas, slopes, and ditches, hydro-seeding is recommended for best results.

3. SUGGESTED SEEDING RATES - 4 ounces per 1000 square feet or 8-10 pounds per acre.

4. WHEN TO PLANT - Sow seed in early spring as soon as weather warms, or when ground is warm. Germination will occur in two to four weeks if moisture is available. Supplemental water should be provided, as necessary.

5. FERTILIZATION - It is not recommended to fertilize sites being planted to wildflowers unless the soil is extremely sterile. Best results are obtained in soils low in nutrients. Adding fertilizer high in nitrogen is not recommended as it will cause excessive vegetative growth and encourage weed growth.

6. USE OF GRASSES IN A BLEND - Non-aggressive clump grasses or clovers can be added to wildflower mixtures to aid in soil stabilization. Do not use ryegrass, bluegrass, or orchard grasses in wildflower mixtures as these are much too aggressive. Buffalo grass is a good choice.

7. MAINTENANCE - Spot application of weed killers may be necessary for the control of weeds. Mature wildflower vegetation should be mowed in the fall at the height of approximately six inches after flowering and seed set. Mowing will scatter seeds and allow for removal of excessive plant growth. Every two years, the site should be lightly reseeded to maintain the original wildflower mixture, otherwise dominant species may over-populate.

8. BE PATIENT! - Establishing a wildflower stand takes time. Some species may not be visible for two or three years in native mixtures.

PLANTING UNTREATED AND ORGANIC SWEET CORN

The biggest enemy your sweet corn seed faces in the spring is cool, wet soil. Placing seed into soil below 65º F will slow germination, giving more time for fungal diseases and insects to claim their share of your seed.

You’ll get much better results in 65-75º F soil, especially with untreated and organic sweet corn seed. Test your soil temperature about an inch down, be patient, and watch your corn spring to life.

GROWING POPCORN SOIL REQUIREMENTS Medium to coarse textured soils warm slightly faster than fine-textured soils and should improve germination, emergence and seedling establishment. High clay content and/or poorly drained soils will weaken the root, reduce yield and increase lodging.

FERTILITY A soil test will show the nutrient needs.

Popcorn needs abundant amounts of nitrogen.

PLANTING A soil temperature of 50-55 degrees F is necessary for best germination.

SEEDING With irrigation, seed 20,000 to 27,000 plants per acre (4-6#/acre). Plant fewer for dry land. Sow the seeds 1-2” deep, spaced 6-8” apart. When 5” tall, thin to 12” apart. A series of short rows, 24-36” apart, ensure good pollination.

IRRIGATION Popcorn needs 1.5 to 2” of water per week from either rain or irrigation.

INSECT CONTROL Most, if not all, of the insects that attack field corn can also attack popcorn.

HARVESTING Harvest when the husks are completely dry and the kernels are hard. Hang the ears in mesh bags in a well-ventilated area. After removing the kernels from the ears, store in an airtight container at room temperature.

CAUTION Growing popcorn and sweet corn in the same garden will produce disappointing results for both crops due to cross pollination.

SWEET CORN GENETIC TYPE COMPATIBILITY AND ISOLATION Isolation of sweet corn is essential for quality.

To prevent cross pollination, separate genetic types by:

Standard Sugary (SU) *Traditional sweet corn genotype *Sugars convert to starch quickly

*At least 250’ *An effective wind break *At least 10-14 days maturity Field corn Ornamental corn Popcorn Sugary Enhanced (SE) *SE gene improves flavor, tenderness and moisture retention over SU types *Good cool soil germination and vigor *May be planted next to a synergistic

Synergistic (SYN) *75% SE and 25% SH2 kernels *Long shelf life *Good cool-soil germination & vigor *May be planted next to an SE

Standard Supersweet (SH2) *Shrunken-2 gene raises levels of complex sugars and extends flavor *Slow conversion from sugar to starch

Quad Sweet *Augmented supersweet *Combines tender, high moisture kernel of SE with high sugar and slow starch conversion of SH2
