Just made an order from them...^^^
Just got some from somewhere else and when I asked them this :
"Are these Seeds ready to bee Planted...?!? I got them a couple of hours ago, I just put them in water and they all are Floating...!!!"
they replied with This :
"I always soak the seeds in water for 1 week and then peel off the skin. Then soak them in water for 2 weeks or longer so that the seeds can germinate easily. This is how I plant them. If you have a better way, you can try it."
WTH...?!?
I ended up with 5 sugar cane sprouts, was hoping for a couple dozen. Don’t think I buried them deep enough. Oh well, an hour after I was offered cane stalks I had them in the ground. No planning and just a general idea of how to bury the stalks.
I know where I can get a load of stalks next year. Gives me time to do some research into how to properly grow cane.

The corn that was blown down stood back up nicely. I didn’t expect it to do so well, not the first time I’ve been surprised by corn after a storm…. As an ffa project in high school I had 7 acres of sweet corn planted. It got flattened, most didn’t recover. It made decent corn but was a royal pain to harvest.
The young corn wasn’t hurt, needs nitrogen though, about 50lbs should do…
The mississippi pink eye purple hulls look good. They have a few blooms.

I have one row of watermelons. Look healthy but they are slow growing this year for some reason. Lettuce looks great, got bugs in the cabbage though... I have a friend who has already offered me cabbages so i'm not going to worry about these.

I got the big tractor running today. Spot plowed parts of the garden then bush hogged around it. Looks a lot better... The peas are looking good!
Got my onions planted this morning. Put out a bunch of Pattersons, Blush, and highlander slips from Dixondale onions. These are my late onions to try and store over the winter.
Yesterday got out cukes, Kidney and blue lake beans, and okra. Unless I decide to do some corn I'm probably don't planting until on up in the summer when I'll do some late season crops

I eat whatever strawberries are red enough in the mornings. Usually a few Ha.
Planting tomatoes today. Thought it'd be too hot after lunch, but it's overcast now, so I think I'll get back out there for an hr after I finish my coffee. Husband needs me to take him into the bigger town to the pharmacy, so that'll be after I get cleaned up.

WOW, had a double cage made out of fence wire that was about seven feet tall by September & grew back to the ground was growing away from the cage when frost killed it. So I know they can form a mass of vines, I find pruning tomatoes a waste of time, just plant a few more plants.
I remember one year we had green/ breaking tomatoes up till first week in November.
