KNOW YOUR ONIONS

Onion seeds can take months from sprouting to harvest. Seeds should be planted indoors 10-12 weeks before transplanting in the garden.

Check out this website: https:// savvygardening.com/why-plantingonion-seeds-is-better-than-planting -sets/ Onion sets are small bulbs harvested prematurely from the first year of an onion’s life cycle and stored through winter. Sets are easy to find and plant, but typically yield smaller onions and are more often used to produce green onions, eaten fresh. See page 18.

Onion transplants are onion seedlings started in the current growing season. Transplants yield larger bulbs that can be stored for use all winter. The Seed House sells many varieties of onion transplants.

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.

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

For optimal quality, consider isolating all genotypes from each other. To prevent cross pollination, separate genetic types by: *At least 250’ *An effective wind break *At least 10-14 days maturity

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

Field corn Ornamental corn Popcorn Synergistic (SYN)

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

*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 *Less tolerant of cool soils

This chart provides basic vegetable gardening data, including planting and harvesting dates, fall frost guidelines and projected yields. A handy tool for the home or hobby gardener!

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

Fix-N-Grow is a granular product that contains bacteria called Rhizobia. Beans, peas and other members of the fabaceae family have a unique trait that allows them to build beneficial relationships with this bacteria in the soil. A 2009 study from the Journal of Soil and Nature found when comparing inoculated vs non-inoculated peas, the inoculated peas have 89% more pods per plant, 37% more peas per pod and have 23% longer pods.

Each 2.3-oz. Fix-N-Grow packet contains about 2 billion spores suspended in peat granules and treats a 40’ furrow.
