It is tolerant of medium soil acidity and will grow readily on both sandy and clay type soils. It is an important winter annual forage in the south, with growth continuing through the winter with the amount influenced by temperature. Crimson clover thrives in mixture with grasses, provides excellent winter grazing, makes good hay. It is high in nutritive value when harvested for forage in the pre-bloom stage. Flower heads are long, crimson, and very showy. Crimson clover seeds and annual ryegrass make an excellent cover crop mixture for improving the texture, organic matter and tilth of soil.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInoculated Seed\u003c\/strong\u003e - We now offer crimson clover seed that has been coated with an inoculant for better establishment. NITRO-COAT® rhizobium strains are specifically chosen for each seed type. A key to any successful establishment and early seed development is moisture. NITRO-COAT® is naturally water absorbent and helps attract soil moisture to the seed, getting your stand established quickly. This coating process which Outsidepride utilizes, assures that only the top-performing and crop-specific rhizobia will be applied to ensure your clovers reach maximum nodulation, stand establishment, and yield potential. The weight of the clover seeds will contain approximately 34% coating material that contains the inoculant and water holding material for better establishment and viability of the seed. There is no difference in the seeding rates between the coated and raw seed due to the increased germination and viability of the bulk clover seeds that are coated and inoculated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeeding Rates:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd rowspan=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSowing Season\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd rowspan=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeeding Depth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd rowspan=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeeding Rate (1,000 Sq.

Peppers germinate best in warm soil, so gentle bottom heat may be helpful until seedlings emerge. Wait to transplant outdoors until soil is warm.\u003cbr\u003ePepper varieties come from tropical humid regions. The temperature, moisture, and air circulation all play a role in growing plants from seeds. Too little heat, too much moisture, and lack of air circulation will cause poor results. Do not use jiffy peat pots, plugs, or potting soil as the soil becomes too dry or too wet, which can lead to disease and fungus. We have experienced disease and low germination when using these types of products. Use Organic Seed Starting Material for best germination results.\u003cbr\u003ePeppers often like to take their sweet time germinating. They can be up in a week, and some will take almost a month. Even with paper towel germination testing, they can take long. I am not sure why, but it is a normal occurrence. So plan and make sure you start them early enough! Also, remember they like heat to germinate so make sure you have a heating mat or something to keep the soil warm. Placing them up on top of the fridge often works too since it is normally warmer up there.\u003cbr\u003eGrowing Peppers:\u003cbr\u003ePeppers, like tomatoes, grow in well-drained fertile soil. Almost all peppers have the same requirements for successful growth. Plant them in good, well-drained, fertile soil – and make sure they get lots of sunlight and a good inch of water per week. In many ways, they mimic the same requirements needed for growing great tomatoes.\u003cbr\u003eAt Planting Time:\u003cbr\u003eWe plant all of our peppers with a good shovel full of compost in the planting hole, and then give them a good dose of compost tea every few weeks for the first 6 weeks of growth. We also mulch around each of our pepper plants with a good 1 to 2″ thick layer of compost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrowing Hot Peppers in Containers\u003cbr\u003ePeppers can be grown all year long in containers.

Though usually considered a vegetable, botanists classify eggplant as a berry. Early varieties of eggplant were named for their resemblance to large white eggs; in Europe, eggplant is usually referred to as aubergine. In medieval times eggplant were called mad apples, because they were thought to induce insanity. Experimental horticulturist Thomas Jefferson included varieties of eggplant in his gardens; at the time, growers used eggplant mostly for decorative purposes. Regions of southern and eastern Asia especially appreciate the eggplant, naming it \"king of vegetables\" and making it a staple of their cuisine. In addition to the traditional purple pear-shape of Black Beauty, eggplant comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Black Beauty is one of the earliest and best known American varieties of eggplant, dating from the early 1900s.\u003cbr\u003eWhen to sow outside:\u003cbr\u003e 2 to 4 weeks after average last frost and when soil temperatures are warm and when outside nighttime temperatures are at least \u003cbr\u003e55°F.\u003cbr\u003eWhen to start inside: \u003cbr\u003eRECOMMENDED. 10 to 12 weeks before average last frost.

If the weather drops below 50 degrees, provide protection. As the plant grows, pruning it helps it to develop into a bushy, healthy plant; pruning is also important because once the plant flowers, it will begin to wilt and die. To prune the plant, remove the top several sets of leaves on each stem, taking care to leave at least three sets of leaves on the lower part.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarvesting: Basil leaves can be harvested as soon as they reach a height of 6-8\".

After the plant is established, harvesting often actually improves production; once the flowers develop, however, the leaves grow bitter to the taste. Remove single leaves or parts of a stem as needed, taking care to leave at least three sets of leaves on the length of the stem for healthy growth. When harvesting, pinch off the stem directly above the next set of leaves. Fresh basil will keep for several days at room temperature, with the stems in a glass of water; if refrigerated, it tends to wilt and turn brown. Basil also freezes and dries well. Since the water content of basil is very high and it can mold easily, the best method for drying is a dehydrator, an oven, or a similar dry, warm location.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeed Saving: After the flowers have finished blooming, the seeds will begin to develop. Harvest the clusters of pods when they turn brown, and spread them out to dry in a protected location away from direct sunlight. Thresh the heads to remove the seed, and clean out as much of the chaff as possible. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place.\u003cbr\u003eSowing: Since basil thrives in warm weather, it grows best when the soil has warmed and there is no chance of frost. Gardeners with short growing seasons may want to start their seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost date, sowing them thinly in flats and providing heat to speed germination. Transplant 15-18\" apart. To direct sow, plant the seeds 1\/4\" deep in rich soil and full sun, thinning to 15-18\" apart when the seedlings develop. Basil also grows well indoors or as a container plant. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #6aa84f;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHerb Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeason: Annual\u003cbr\u003eUSDA Zones: 4 - 9\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 18 - 24 inches\u003cbr\u003eBloom Season: Summer\u003cbr\u003eBloom Color: White\u003cbr\u003eEnvironment: Full sun\u003cbr\u003eSoil Type: Well-drained, pH 6.1 - 7.3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #6aa84f;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Directions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTemperature: 60F\u003cbr\u003eAverage Germ Time: 7 - 14 days\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight Required: Yes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 1\/4 inch\u003cbr\u003eSowing Rate: 1 seed per inch\u003cbr\u003eMoisture: Keep moist until germination\u003cbr\u003ePlant Spacing: Rows 18 inches a part; thin seedlings 8 inches\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(65, 168, 95);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CARIBBEAN GARDEN SEED","offers":[{"title":"100 Seeds","offer_id":30859300601939,"sku":"P25330S","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Packet - 1000 Seeds","offer_id":44621911326906,"sku":"P34912S","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 OZ Seeds","offer_id":30859300634707,"sku":"P25331S","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Oz Pack","offer_id":30859300667475,"sku":"P25332S","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":30859300700243,"sku":"P25333S","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":30859300733011,"sku":"P25334S","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/5071\/files\/28395698290874.jpg?v=1759507989"},{"product_id":"italian-clematis-seeds-perennial-flowering-vine","title":"Italian Clematis seeds , PERENNIAL flowerING VINE","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eITALIAN CLEMATIS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClematis viticella  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis perennial flowering vine, the Italian Clematis, is a strong and vigorous climber that can reach up to 5m in height.

Too much nitrogen will produce lush foliage and few fruits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CARIBBEAN GARDEN SEED","offers":[{"title":"10 Seeds","offer_id":40273905320122,"sku":"P27812S","price":2.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 Seeds","offer_id":40273905352890,"sku":"P27813S","price":3.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 ozSeeds","offer_id":40273905385658,"sku":"P27814S","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 oz Seeds","offer_id":40273905418426,"sku":"P27815S","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/5071\/files\/28395582521530.jpg?v=1759510132"},{"product_id":"onion-plants-italian-cipollini-long-day","title":"Onion plants - Italian Cipollini - Long day","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong day specialty onion variety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat shaped, yellow, mild, open pollinated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize Potential: Plant 2″ apart for cute shish-ka-bob onions or spread out to create “flying saucers.”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage Potential: 5 months\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Harvest: 110\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese flavorful Cipollini onions, also known as summer mini onions, originate from Boretto, Italy and are characterized by a flat, spherical shape.

This unique Italian-type variety produces elongated, trunk-shaped fruits (40–50 g each) that hang gracefully from vigorous 50–60 cm plants, maturing from light green to a warm golden hue. The flesh is tender, delightfully sweet, and refreshingly crisp — a standout choice for Mediterranean salads, antipasto boards, fresh snacking, stuffing with cheese, and grilling. Productive in both outdoor gardens and greenhouses, this variety handles low-light conditions with ease, making it an excellent choice for northern growers and season-extension growing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e Capsicum annuum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet Elongated \/ Italian-Type Pepper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~70 days from transplant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elongated, tapered; 40–50 g per fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light green maturing to golden yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e None (0 SHU) — purely sweet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50–60 cm; upright and productive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Environment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Garden, greenhouse, or containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Performs well in lower-light conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter; target pH 6.0–6.8.
