With floods in the West and record temperatures in the East, 2010 was certainly a challenging gardening year. While dealing with the continually changing weather, 2010 was a busy year for McFayden - we celebrated 100 years, launched a new webstore and we ventured into social media through facebook and twitter. I encourage you to check out our facebook page to keep up to date on what is happening at McFayden, and connect with fellow gardeners. We have been busy preparing for 2011. This catalog edition is bursting with new seed, nursery and hardgood items! To see even more new, visit our webstore where we have listed additional seed items such as organic and seed tape plus nursery and hardgoods that we could not fit into the catalog. While browsing our webstore, you will see that we have been adding features to provide you with the ability to update your account and see your order history. If you haven’t already, don’t forget to register online to receive McFayden email notices - we don’t want you to miss out on specials or when we’ve added new items to our webstore. Some of my favorite new items for 2011 are the Petunia Opera Supreme Raspberry Ice on page 35 and the Zinnia Double Zahara Cherry on page 42. I had an opportunity to trial both of these in 2010, and they were both stunning. Petunias are my all time favorite flowers to grow - they are dependable and always put on a super show. I was really pleased how long the Zinnia blooms lasted and held their shape and color. I love our new potting tray on page 73 - I plan to make great use of it in January for seed starting. I tend to make a mess on my kitchen countertop when starting seeds as I really like to dig in and get my hands dirty and this potting tray will be a tremendous help. Fruit gardening is hugely popular and I am excited about the Seed . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-42 Goji Berry and Honeyberry that we are able to bring to you.

Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Garden Beans require warm soil and good growing conditions. The seeds will decay quickly when planted in cold wet soil. The use of Garden Inoculant at the time of planting can greatly increase yields. 1214

Bush beans produce an entire crop all at once while pole beans produce over the entire growing season. Harvesting & Storage Beans can be picked when pods are young and tender - Harvest often to increase yields.

3378

Remove pods that are too old for eating as the old pods take away nutrients from developing pods and reduce yields – if pods get large with seed, the plant will stop flowering.

Understanding Corn and abbreviations SU – Normal Sugar – refers to regular sweet corn varieties that are often quicker to mature than other types of sweet corn. It is a traditional sweet corn that loses sweetness quickly after harvest.

3383

SE – Sugar Enhanced – refers to sweet corn varieties that are sweeter than the SU varieties. Kernels have higher sugar content and will retain their sweet flavor longer after harvest than SU types. The sweet taste and tender, creamy texture of the SE varieties are preferred by many gardeners. SY – Synergistic – A new type of corn that combines the sweet flavor of SE types with the higher sugar content and longer harvest window of the SH2 types, producing excellent corn. SH2 – Super Sweet – Refers to the sweetest corn which stays sweet for a longer time after reaching maturity. The SH2 types of corn are typically planted later than SU and SE types as the small SH2 seed is sensitive to cool wet soil conditions.

CORN Corn must be planted in double rows to make sure that cross pollination occurs. Cobs with missing kernels can be caused by improper pollination. This can occur when corn is planted in single rows or if there is a very heavy rain at the time of pollination. If you are planting different varieties of corn, be sure to separate them into different areas of the garden. Make sure your corn patch receives adequate moisture while cobs are forming until harvest to produce a tasty feast off the cob or to be cooked and cut for freezing.

LETTUCE TYPES

Butterhead – This type of lettuce received its name because the leaves have a buttery smooth texture. These tender, cupped leaves work beautifully in salads. Butterhead varieties form a loose-leaf head with thicker leaves than other common lettuce varieties. 4200

Head - Head lettuce varieties are recognized by their compact round head of leaves and are often the mildest in taste. They produce firm heads with a crisp texture and crunchy taste. Leaf – Leaf lettuce varieties produce leaves in a bunch instead of a head. They grow the fastest and are often preferred by people who wish to grow vegetables at home. Leaf lettuce re-sprouts from a cut stem without losing quality in flavor or texture.

2694

2543

Romaine - Romaine lettuce is also known as cos lettuce. It is an upright plant that forms narrow, elongated leaves that grow outwards. It is the most nutritious lettuce with a wonderful crispy texture.

Succession Gardening Succession gardening means planting a second or third crop where another crop has finished – this way you can always be using your garden space for more fresh produce as well as preserving for the winter. Once early maturing plants have finished, plant a second crop in their place (to get a head start try starting plants in Jiffy peat pots). After your first planting has been harvested, you can usually plant a cool weather crop for late season enjoyment.

4050

The key is to check on the seed packet for the days for germination and maturity, and add them together. Then check the number of days back from a likely first frost date for your region to make sure you plant to allow enough time for your next planting to mature. Most greens (lettuce, kale, endive, spinach), radishes, bush beans and peas can be planted mid summer and harvested in the fall for regions with a September/October first frost date. 1388

Freezer Peas

1402

1403

Nothing tastes better than enjoying tasty vegetables from your garden in the middle of winter. Freezing peas is an easy and quick process that will allow you to enjoy them on their own or in a mixed dish all winter long. Once your fresh garden peas are shelled, set a large pot of water (approximately 2/3rds full) to boil and have another container filled with ice water. Peas must go through a blanching process prior to freezing which means placing them in the boiling water for 90 seconds, quickly draining and placing into the ice water to cool them for at least 90 seconds to prevent overcooking and thoroughly drain. Place cooled peas in freezer bags and be sure to remove all air from the bags (using a straw to suck out the excess air works best), seal and freeze.

Spinach (Spinacea oleracea) When to plant - Spinach is a cool weather crop that likes well drained, moisture retaining soil. Sow outdoors as soon as ground can be worked and again in mid July for a late harvest of fresh green leaves. You can sow more often, allowing two weeks between seedlings.

1438

Notes about Spinach ... Long, hot summer days can cause spinach to bolt. Spinach does very well in a container. Do not allow plants to dry out – be sure to water during dry spells. Rapid changes in temperature and moisture levels can cause spinach to become bitter. Whole plants can be harvested by cutting them off just above the soil level or baby leaves can be picked throughout the growing season as needed.

Spaghetti Squash

4476

The easiest way to cook spaghetti squash is to cook the entire squash. First pierce the squash to avoid it bursting while cooking. Place the entire squash on the oven rack or in a shallow baking pan for 1 hour at 190°C (375°F). Once baked, cut the squash length-wise (let cool a bit before handling or use oven mitts – it will be hot!) and scoop out the seeds and pulp from the center. Gently scrape the tines of the fork along the squash to shred the pulp into spaghetti-like strands.

What does

HEIRLOOM mean?

Heirloom varieties are seeds that have been saved from generation to generation. They are open pollinated meaning that they rely on natural pollination from wind and insects.

Usually varieties referred to as heirloom have been around for more than 50 years and offer a wonderful history in the names and flavors that continually provide dependable quality season after season.

TOMATOES: Indeterminate & Determinate There are two basic groups of tomato plants:

Determinate (also known as “bush types”) set all their fruit in a shorter period of time, do not need to be pruned. No staking is required. Indeterminate tomato plants grow tall and are also referred to as “staking tomatoes”. They continue to grow and produce fruit all season long and should be pruned. Staking is required.

Tomatillo We were very excited to test this variety in the 2010 growing season. This relative to the tomato was easy to grow and did very well. Plants are at their best and more prolific when staked but vines can also be allowed to grow on the ground if desired. Fruits should be harvested when they almost fill the husk but are still green in color. The tomatillos at the bottom of the plant ripen first. The ‘Tomatillo Verde’ adds a unique sweet-sour flavor to Mexican dishes and we loved the great tasting Tomatillo Salsa Verde we made from them! A highly recommended NEW project!

Air Drying Herbs

Growing your own herbs and drying for later use ensures quality in freshness and taste as well as the knowledge your herbs were produced free of chemicals. The best and most economical way to dry herbs is to air dry. You are best to make this an ongoing process throughout the growing season instead of doing a mass herb drying project.

In the mornings, cut stems or branches away from the plant (before plant starts flowering) and remove any damaged or diseased leaves. Make sure the herbs are dry – wet herbs quickly turn to mould. Tie 4-5 stems/branches together to form a bunch with a string or elastic band and place upside down in a brown paper bag (with some holes cut in the sides for ventilation) and tie the bag closed. Make sure not to overcrowd and place in a warm dry room. In 1-2 weeks the plants should be dry – check for any mould (discard if you find mould). Run your hand over the stem to remove the dried leaves and throw away stems. Store in an air-tight containers away from light.

Starting Seed Indoors This is an excellent way to save money and work on a very fulfilling project. Using Jiffy peat pellets, or a combination of peat pots and starting mix is the perfect start to a successful gardening experience. Be sure to follow packet directions for sowing depth and spacing and don’t forget to label what you have planted. Cover your tray or flat of newly planted seeds with a plastic dome or plastic wrap and remove once the seedling has fully emerged. Grow lights can help with germination and growth. Place your flat or tray somewhere warm (heat mat or top of refrigerator) to warm the soil and promote germination and be sure to remove from heat once seedling start to emerge. Never let seed trays become dry – seedlings cannot tolerate dry conditions. Once indoor seedlings have produced their second set of leaves you should start fertilizing once a week with a plant starting fertilizer made at one-quarter strength. To harden off plants, place outside in shade for several days (bring plants in at night). Gradually expose to full sunlight. It is better to transplant seedlings outdoors on a cloudy day to provide them with time to acclimatize to their new environment. Make sure to keep seedlings well watered during the first few weeks while they are rooting into the outdoor soil.

The Successful Transplanting of Annuals

4172

Starting seed indoors is a project that is both economical and richly rewarding. When it comes time for transplanting young plants to containers or gardens you want to make sure you avoid severe transplant shock which is when the growth of the plant is setback due to change in environment or roots being damaged. Here are a few simple tips to help. • Don’t transplant too early – cold soil temperatures will slow down growth • Make sure plants have been well watered prior to transplanting • Cloudy, calm days are the best to transplant annuals – less shock to the plants

Maria, a gardener for 30 years from Brandon, MB, loves geraniums and has been growing her own for years. She enjoys starting the seeds indoors during the colder months to have them ready for planting after the weather has warmed. Maria loves the versatility of geraniums and plants them in both containers and her garden beds. They are easy to grow and always put on a wonderful show! Geranium Tips: When geranium seedlings are growing nicely, keep pinching out the middle leaf to encourage new shoots along the stems, providing a fuller plant from which to flower.

2410

They don’t like heavy soil that allows the roots to sit in a mud-like consistency. Keep the soil light and airy and don’t overwater. Geraniums don’t like water on their leaves and flowers for any great length of time. So keep your geraniums away from sprinklers and water at the base of the plant. Geraniums thrive in full sun – they need a minimum of 6 hours each day!

Outdoor Fertilizing

2983

4009

2981

One of the easiest ways to fertilize is to mix in a granular fertilizer to the soil before plants are set in, which slowly releases fertilizer throughout the growing season. You can also add supplemental feedings through the use of water soluble fertilizers throughout the season for larger plants that require more than the granular can keep up with. Otherwise make sure to add a good plant starting fertilizer immediately after planting and continue with fertilizing once a week during the first 3 weeks after planting to help the plant get established. Throughout the season, the use of an all purpose fertilizer (20-20-20) added into your watering can once a week will work best in most cases and will help plants produce lush greenery and beautiful flowers.

Morning Glories not flowering? This wonderful and fast growing vine with pretty trumpet shaped flowers is beautiful and easy to grow – so what is happening when your plant looks incredibly healthy but no flowers appear? First make sure you have planted in an appropriate location (full sun). Second, make sure you have given the plants enough time to grow and develop. If plants are old enough and receiving proper light and moisture the usual culprit for absence of flowers is that the soil is too rich. Morning Glories do amazingly well in less than perfect soil. When the soil is too rich in nitrogen the plant puts all its energy into the green vine and does not produce flowers. These plants do better with ‘leaner’ soil conditions. They don’t need any extra attention just plant them and let them be – they will be beautiful for you without any extra work!

Their upright form enhances projects without taking up the space of shrubs as well as being visually pleasing as they sway in the breeze. Be sure to include some varieties in your garden or containers this year for a wonderful effect.

Mould Prevention During Seed Starting It is a good idea to apply a type of fungicide shortly after seeds have sprouted to prevent the rotting of seedlings which is called ‘damping off’. 4220

Mould is no friend when starting seeds indoors. With warm temperatures and high humidity it often can show up and jeopardize the overall health and success of all your hard work. A helpful idea is to water newly-planted trays with cooled Chamomile Tea which greatly reduces the formation of mould in a very natural way. Steep 1 teabag in 2 cups boiling water, cool to room temperature before using.

Ann started gardening recently and decided to create a garden in their back yard that the whole family could all work together at and enjoy its healthy benefits. Her family quickly adapted to the gardening project and was excited to be able to produce tasty vegetables and beautiful flowers. Ann had primarily only grown flowers prior to this and has a special fondness for wave petunias in her containers where they put on a terrific show each year but nothing makes her prouder than her kids having fun in the garden with her! What’s Next: They now have an official compost bin and they are going to become a greener family by creating their own organic fertilizer.

Keeping Bouquets At Their Best Be sure to remove all leaves from flower stems that will be under water in your vase and remove any leaves above water that you really don’t need. Foliage that sits in water will rot quickly, smells terrible and shortens the vase life of cut flowers. Add a preservative to the vase water. A simple home remedy – any non-diet carbonated drink that contains lemon and sugar, the same ingredients as in a floral preservative; lemon to lower the pH, sugar to replace glucose that the plant has lost but needs, and carbonation to keep bacterial growth down. Remove old blossoms and yellow leaves from aging bouquets. Change the water and preservative, ideally every other day.

Deadheading This means removing dead flowers once they have finished blooming and thus extending the flowering life of the plant. Your plant will thank you for taking the time to “clean it up” by producing many more flowers over a longer period of time. Check your plants while watering to see what ‘maintenance’ is required – usually a few minutes before or after watering to remove faded flowers or seed pods can help keep your plant looking beautiful!

Harvesting & Storage Allow the sunflower plant to mature in the garden. Once mature (the yellow petals will have dried and fallen off and the back of the flower will be brown and dry) cut the head off the stem leaving approximately 1 foot of the stem attached. If the flower head/seeds have not totally dried in the garden, hang upside down in a warm, dry and well ventilated area until the seeds loosen and are completely dried. Seeds can start to drop from the flower head as they dry; wrap some cheesecloth or put a paper bag around heads while drying to catch any seeds that fall out during the drying process. Rub the seeds out of the head by hand. If the seeds are being saved for birds, just store in sealed containers in a dry location.

Sweet Peas

2028

4027

4487

Sweet peas can be sown outdoors as soon as the ground can be worked. It can be helpful to soak seed for 24 hours prior to planting. Plants do best in rich, well drained soil in full sun. An application of garden inoculant at the time of planting will result in larger plants that grow quickly and display more flowers. Be sure to water regularly – sweet peas do best when they have cool, moist roots. Tall growing varieties will require some type of support to climb. Picking for bouquets, removing faded blooms and seedpods will have plants continually producing beautiful flowers all season long. The best time to pick sweet peas for a beautiful bouquet is when the buds at the tip of the flower clusters are not yet open. Their charming blooms and sweet fragrance make them a definite garden favorite.

Growing strong and healthy seedlings When starting seedlings indoors, it is important to provide a combination light source such as cool white and warm white fluorescent tubes or grow lights. I purchased inexpensive fluorescent shop lights from a hardware store and hung them on a chain to make it easy to adjust the height as seedlings grow. The light source should be no more than 10 cm (4”) from the top of the seedlings otherwise the plants will stretch to reach a source of light and become spindly. Seedlings require 12 to 16 hours of light and 8 to 12 hours of dark. I have my grow lights on a timer so I don’t have to remember to turn the lights on and off. To help strengthen seedlings, I occasionally run my hand gently over the top of the seedlings. Always bottom water seedlings and every second watering, I use weakened chamomile tea to help prevent damp-off. Once seedlings develop their second set of true leaves, I start watering with a half-strength fertilizer.

Mulch

3637

Mulch is any material that is placed over the soil in your garden. Its purpose is to help retain moisture, deter weeds and stop the soil from eroding. It is beneficial as it saves time in weeding and watering and many gardeners feel that a nice thick layer of mulch looks better than bare soil. Mulch is available through many garden centers but consider making your own by shredding leaves, sticks, grass, bark, compost or other organic material. Before mulching remove weeds and thoroughly soak the soil and remember it is meant to stay on top of the soil not be worked into the soil where it could hinder a plants growth. The best benefits come from a nice course mulch applied 5-10 cm (2-4”) thick.

Onion Sets, Garlic Bulbs and More... 1289 Gourmet Shallots

A delicious, mild flavor you can’t get from common scallions! Use for early greens or mature onions. 1289 - 1 Package (12 bulbs)........................$2.95

1280 Yellow Dutch Sets When to Plant Garlic: Plant as soon as possible in the spring. Garlic grows best in a rich, well drained soil in full sun. Try to plant in an area that was not previously planted with garlic or onions to reduce the opportunities for pests and diseases. Separate bulbs into individual cloves and plant 10-15 cm (4-6”) apart. Plant 2.5-5 cm (1-2”) deep with the tips (pointed end) of the cloves up. Keep planting area well weeded. Stop watering shortly before harvest to allow the ground to dry around the bulbs and increase the storage quality of the bulb. Bulbs will not reach a large size if planted late in the season. Allow the tops of the garlic plant to fall over on their own. Garlic is ready to harvest once the leaves have withered and dried. Pull plants and allow the garlic to dry for a few days either outdoors if weather allows or in a warm, dry basement/garage. To store garlic, make sure it has had enough time to dry, then either braid the garlic or tie in bunches and keep in a cool, dry area. Elephant Garlic: This is a type of garlic that has large cloves and a wonderfully warm, mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is not a substitute for regular garlic in recipes but is instead used to add a subtle hint of garlic flavoring in salads or sliced and sautéed in cooked dishes and stir fries. When roasted it has a wonderful sweet and creamy flavor. Like regular garlic, elephant grows best in rich, well drained soil and harvest time will be indicated by leaf tops turning dry or bending. Gently dig and remove the bulbs and store in a cool dry location. It has a shorter shelf life and cannot be kept for a long time.

An excellent variety, producing wonderful cooking onions that store great. Also perfect for eating as green onions earlier in the season. 1280 - 1 Package (100 bulbs).......................$2.95

Tip: For a continuous supply of strawberries each season, it is recommended to

plant a new strawberry crop during the 2nd year of production of existing plants as strawberry plants begin to wear out after 2-3 years. Once the strawberries have produced for a third season they can be tilled under. Crop rotation is highly recommended when planting new strawberry plants to help prevent disease problems.

Growing fruit is an increasing passion across Canada. There is a multitude of ways to use home grown fruit which makes it appealing to so many gardeners. It is very important to note that fruit production is an investment in time as harvesting may not occur for a few years after planting because the plant must be well established and larger in size before fruit production begins. Check individual varieties for an estimated time to expect fruit harvest.

Excellently suited to northern gardening. Gardening is part of Deanna’s every day life just as it was for her mother and grandmother. With over 40 years of experience, she keeps gardening interesting by always being willing to try something new. Dedicated to growing organic she also practices companion planting with great success.

She is experimenting with tomato plants to obtain increased yields and larger tomato size by staking the plants to metal rods and using nylon stockings to tie the plant to the rod. The results were very good. Yields were much heavier and the tomatoes were larger than those planted without staking to a metal rod. Her neighbor has experimented similarly but with pea plants and has had better plant production when plants were staked to the metal poles and tied with nylon stockings.

Bearded Iris

4537

s D h Zones 3-9 (Early - Mid Summer) Iris germanica

Bearded Iris provide a tall, elegant addition to flower beds. They are remarkably resilient plants that are long-lived, growing with minimal attention once established. Bearded Iris prefer well drained soil and a sunny location. Avoid shaded locations as this will reduce or prevent flowering. Wet, poorly draining soil will promote root rot. Tight, clay soil should be amended with organic matter such as pine bark or compost to improve drainage. The use of manure should be avoided unless it is well rotted and incorporated at least 15 cm (6”) deep in the planting hole and not come into contact with the rhizome. When planting, form a mound of soil in the center of the hole for the planting base. Make the mound high enough so that the top of the rhizome is slightly above soil level. Spread the roots around the mound, fill with soil and water. Water the new plants every second day (if no rain), for the first ten days and then cut back to once a week. Expect fewer flowers in the first year of planting, but thereafter, you will be rewarded with a beautiful display of blooms. 4537 Bearded Iris Swahili - NEW! t 60-90 cm (24-36”) This amazing iris produces fantastic dark maroon flowers that are a vibrant and rich phenomenon in early summer flower gardens. 4537 - 1 Package of 1 rhizome...........................................ea. $6.95 4537 - Multiples / 2 Packages of 1 rhizome............................ea. $6.60 4537 - Multiples / 3+ Packages of 1 rhizome ..........................ea. $6.25

Name: Gail, Regina, SK Gardening for: 10 years Type of Garden: Community Garden and container gardening Challenge: Potato bugs – so destructive! Favorite Gardening Memory: Sharing extra garden produce each season Highly Recommends: Starting a few varieties indoors each year Gail grew up gardening with her family and is happy to be able to be part of a community garden. She enjoys the challenge of gardening and the chance to visit and exchange knowledge and stories with the other local gardeners. Each spring she eagerly anticipates starting a few tomatoes, peppers, and geraniums indoors. If she had to give advice to a new gardener she would stress that starting seed indoors doesn’t mean you have to grow a huge amount of plants – starting a smaller amount helps get a good start on a few favorites or a chance to start a new variety for the season. What’s next? Wants to start an indoor herb garden and start drying herbs for use. 70
