Artichoke (Globe)
Globe Artichokes
| 2 | 2' 11" | 2' 11" x 2' 11" | Globe artichokes need to be grown on well drained soil that t is kept moist in the summer & dry in the winter.Artichoke plants grown in a sunny position will have more flavour if grown in direct sunlight. Be-fore planting, dig in well-rotted manure or garden compost. Plant out in April for a crop in August or September.Cut the flowers on 2- 3 yr old plants in July.By late May or early June the artichokes should be growing sturdily. If they are not doing well by then you should top dress with a complete fertilizer or dried blood at the start of May.
If planted in spring the young plants will produce heads in late summer.Harvest in August or September for new plants, or in July for older plants. Globe Artichokes grow a large thistle-like head at the ends of the stems and a number of smaller heads on lateral shootsHarvest the artichoke flower |

Beet
Gourmet Blend
| 6 | 4" | 4" x 11" | When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 2 to 4 weeks before average last frost, for early summer crop, and late summer for fall crop. Growing during hot temperature periods should be avoided. Zones 10 and 11 can sow fall through winter. For early spring sowings, harvest before summer heat. For late summer sowings, harvest before first heavy frost. Harvest when roots are anywhere from 2"-3" in diameter. Do not let them get too big; the smaller they are, the more tender. Foliage can be harvested when 6" tall or shorter. You can take as much as one third of a beet plants leaves without harming the root crop; leave at least 2" of foliage above ground level. |

| 4 | 11" | 11" x 1' 5" | This is an old standard variety that has been a mainstay in many people's gar-dens year in and year out.This is partly be-cause it does not mature uniformly & partly because it produces many side shoots. Perfect for home garden use.The plants grow tall (30 to 36"), erect & leafy.They produce central heads that are bluish-green in color and average from 3-5". Sowing is usually in early spring, under glass to plant out in June and July to provide a crop from August through October,across. The plants laid down, and side shoots harvested for continuing weeks. Frost resistant.Calabrese does not like root disturbance, so unlike other types of broccoli, it should be sown direct 1-2" deep in rows 12" apart.When the seedlings come up, thin to 6" apart in the row.

Cabbage (Summer)
Glory of Enkhuizen
| 3 | 1' 3" | 1' 3" x 1' 3" | Cabbage doesn't require warm soil to germinate so you should direct seed as soon as the soil is workable, no more than inch (2 cm) deep and 3 inches (8 cm) apart. If you choose to start indoors, plants may be started up to 8 weeks before last frost. Bottom heat soil to about 75F (25C) until seeds germinate and then maintain an air temp close to 60F with direct sun to prevent legginess. Plant out when seedlings are up to 6 weeks old. Spacing depends on variety; use a closer spacing (12 inch or 30 cm and up) for early varieties which are typically smaller and wide spaces (up to 34 inches or 85 cm) for late season varieties which tend to be larger. Start your fall crops by sowing out seed in midsummer. To prevent insect problems on young plants use floating row covers, but since these plants are shallow rooted opt to mulch over hoeing to prevent weeds. Rotate crops to prevent disease buildup but don't include other members of the cabbage family in your rotation. |

| 38 | 2" | 2" x 2" | 2-4 wks before last frost sow seed outside to receive 6 to 8 hrs of sunlight per day.Work the soil to a depth of at least 10 to 12 ins. Spread 1 in. of organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, on top of the soil, and dig the organic matter into the soil. Rake the soil so the surface is smooth. Pick out rocks and break up large dirt clods.Create shallow furrows at least 12 inches apart, using the tip of a hoe. Plant Cosmic Purple carrot seeds in the furrows, allowing about 1/2 in. between each seed. You can also use seed tape, which ensures even planting. Cover the seeds with no more than 1/2 in. of soil.Water the area lightly with a hose and spray nozzle. Keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate, which may take up to 3 wks, depending on the temperature.Continue to water lightly the area, keeping the soil evenly moist, but never saturated. Too much water causes carrots to fork or crack.Thin Cosmic Purple carrots when the plants are about 2 or 3 ins |

Onion (Red)
Southport Red Globe (Heirloom)
| 34 | 5" | 5" x 9" | Long-day Onions:For best results, Plant in quantity and quality, from onions grown from seed, not from "sets". Get fresh seed every year. Timing: It is far wiser to start seedlings indoors, (Jan 15)then transplant out(April 1) however healthy onion seedlings can withstand cold temperatures, even down to 20 F. Onions grow by first developing their "tops" (above-ground greens), then--when triggered by daylength--setting their bulbs. When they begin to set the bulbs, the tops stop growing. We thus want to get our healthy seedlings into the ground, "about 4 to 6 weeks before the last expected spring frost".Onion seed germinates best in the temperature range of about 75 to 85.after emergence, the ideal temperature conditions are 60 to 65 daytime and 45 to 60 at night. Harden-off 2wks prior to transplantingWhen setting out your transplants, just cover their roots with soil, because the bulbs grow on top of the soil. Space onions at about 4 inches;Pull onions when the tops have gone brown |

Rond De Nice
| 2 | 1' 11" | 1' 11" x 1' 11" | While most of my gardening today is confined to container gardening on the patio; Baby Round Zucchini Summer Squash is also a good choice for planting in the in ground family garden.Planting should be done after the last spring frost has passed, soil temps of at least 60 degrees are optimum sow 3 -5 seeds spaced evenly over a hill 9 to 12" tall and 2'across, in a sunny location. I generally sow 5 seeds to assure at least 3 per hill, or today, to con-tainer. I use low, bowl type containers for my squash.Plantlets can be thinned when they reach 3 inches or so in height, leave the 3 strongest plantlets in each hill. As a rule I like to mulch to cut down on need for weeding. Hills in the family garden should be spaced at about 36 apart to give each hill room for spreading. Seeding to Germination is about 5 - 8 days depending on soil warmth and air temps. Days to Harvest is about 45 days. Picking often during the growing season assures fruit production will remain |

Is light-demanding but is tolerant of high levels of pollution and salt spray. A hardy, fast-growing natural hybrid, it thrives on a variety of soils and sites are commonly planted in gardens to provide a quick boundary or shelter hedge, because of their rapid growth. Although widely used for screening, it has not been planted much for forestry purposes. In both forms of the hybrid, Leyland Cypress combines the hardiness of the Nootka or Alaska Cypress with the fast growth of the Monterey Cypress.[4]
The tallest Leyland Cypress presently documented is about 130 ft tall and still growing.[9] However, because their roots are relatively shallow, large leylandii tend to topple over. The shallow root structure also means that it is poorly adapted to areas with hot summers, such as the southern half of the U.S.A..

Note this vegetable favors garden beds that were well fertilized and well-worked for another crop last season.Make your rows 10" apart, & deep. Drop the turnip seeds in,& cover with garden compost.Water. When seedlings appear in 2 wks., avoid troubles that come with plant crowding by thinning turnips to one plant every 4". Extend your harvest period by planting smaller crops every 3wks
To boost growth, you can apply a dose of complete fertilizer (compost tea)1mo after planting. Harvest Turnips in 2 or 3 mos.
