Start indoors in late January or early February to produce artichokes the first year. Requires 10-12 days of temps below 50˚F to induce artichokes the first year. Direct seed after last frost to yield chokes the second year. Second year, rogue off-types to final 5-6’ spacing. Propagate your best plants by division. Commercial artichokes are generally propagated by division for consistency, starting from seed introduces wider variability. In cold climates, cut to 8-10 inches in October and cover with straw to keep roots from freezing. In wet winter climates, mound to avoid root rot. Store at 36˚F. Soil pH 6.6-7.8.

Originating from southern Europe and the Canary Islands in north Africa. The naturally occurring variant of the artichoke, the cardoon (Cynara cardunculus), has records of use as a food among the ancient Greeks and Romans. The blossom of the thistle, improved by the Arabs, passed from Naples to Florence in 1466, carried by Filippo Strozzi. Towards 1480 artichoke was noticed in Venice, as a curiosity. But very soon veers towards the northwest. Artichoke beds are mentioned in Avignon, France by the notaries from 1532 onward. It was brought to California in the 1920s by Italian farmers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtichoke fields are maintained in perennial culture for five to ten years. Each cropping cycle is initiated by \"cutting back\" the tops of the plants several inches below the soil surface to stimulate development of new shoots. The operation called \"stumping,\" is timed to regulate the new harvest season. Among the highest antioxidant levels for vegetables. Today most artichokes grown worldwide are cultivated in France, Italy, and Spain, while California provides nearly 100 percent of the United States crop.

Instead, buckwheat is related to sorrel and rhubarb. The name 'buckwheat' or 'beech wheat' comes from its triangular seeds, which resemble the much larger seeds of the beech nut from the beech tree, and the fact that it is used like wheat. Common buckwheat was domesticated and first cultivated in inland Southeast Asia, possibly around 6000 BCE, and from there spread to Central Asia and Tibet, and then to the Middle East and Europe. Domestication most likely took place in the western Yunnan region of China. Buckwheat is documented in Europe in Finland by at least 5300 BCE as a first sign of agriculture, and in the Balkans by circa 4000 BCE in the Middle Neolithic.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RESTORATION SEEDS","offers":[{"title":"250 Seeds","offer_id":44375208493098,"sku":null,"price":4.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Ounce","offer_id":44375208525866,"sku":null,"price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":44375208558634,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":44500068237354,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0129\/8922\/products\/Buckwheat.jpg?v=1497596317"},{"product_id":"mexican-sour-gherkin","title":"Mexican Sour Gherkin","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/restorationseeds.mom\/pages\/table-menu1\"\u003eMelothria scabra\u003c\/a\u003e##\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"how-to-grow-trigger how-to-grow-title\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003eHOW TO GROW MEXICAN SOUR GHERKIN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"icon-down-arrow\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"how-to-grow-content\"\u003eGrow like cucumber.

Through the silk road, poppies made their way around the world. They were domesticated by indigenous peoples of Western and Central Europe between 6000 and 3500 BC. In Ancient Egypt, small jugs that resemble poppy seed pods were discovered containing trace amounts of opium, dated 1550-1292 BC. Representations of the flower also appeared in Egypt on jewelry and art pieces. In the early 1990s, poppy cultivation was eradicated in some parts of the world due to concern over opium use. Since then, the War on Drugs and the subsequent opiate epidemic has become a worldwide issue. The short-lived yet delicately beautiful poppy flower holds a dark legacy. ##Deep Harvest Farm##Certified Organic by WA Dept. of Ag.##Seed grower since 2010##\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0129\/8922\/files\/Deep-Harvest-Farm_210x165.jpg?12506478495586146841##Deep Harvest Farm is a certified-organic vegetable, seed and flower farm on Whidbey Island in NW Washington.

Direct seed, 6 weeks before last frost. Or, start indoors 4-6 weeks before planting out. Can also direct sow in early fall. Does best if started in cool conditions. Growth diminishes as the weather warms, is not tolerant of temperatures above 80˚F unless shaded. In USDA zone 7 to 9, the best time to plant is in late October to mid-November. Sow a group of 3 seeds every 6”, when 3” tall, thin to 1 every 6”. Does well in full sun, can also grow in part shade light wood land. Pinch when 6-8\" tall to encourage denser branching and more flowers. Collect seed pod when flowers fade, allow pods to dry on plant. Collect to re-sow. Soil pH 7.6–7.8. Hardiness zones 4–10.

Tags: Season: Spring Fall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHenry Eckford (1823–1905), a Scottish nurseryman, cross-bred and developed the sweet pea, turning it from a rather insignificant, if sweetly scented flower, into the floral sensation of the late Victorian era.\u003cbr\u003eHis initial success and recognition came while serving as head gardener for the Earl of Radnor, raising new cultivars of pelargoniums and dahlias. In 1870 he went to work for one Dr. Sankey of Sandywell near Gloucester. A member of the Royal Horticultural Society, he was awarded a First Class Certificate, the top award, in 1882 for introducing the sweet pea cultivar 'Bronze Prince', marking the start of association with the flower. In 1888 he set up his development and trial fields for sweet peas in Wem in Shropshire. By 1901, he had introduced a total of 115 cultivars. Eckford was presented with the RHS Victoria Medal of Honor for his work. He died in 1906 but his work was continued, for a time, by his son John Eckford.\u003cbr\u003e More recently, the association between the sweet pea, the Eckfords and Wem has been highlighted again. In the late 1980s, the Sweet Pea Society of Wem started an annual show and the town has again taken the flower to its heart. Many of the street signs now carry a sweet pea motif and an area of the town is known as Eckford Park. There is also a cultivar 'Dorothy Eckford', named after a family member.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RESTORATION SEEDS","offers":[{"title":"50 Seeds","offer_id":44257347895338,"sku":null,"price":4.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0129\/8922\/files\/DeepColorMix2_8bfa17b7-b225-4773-9d3d-925a14dc6c8a.jpg?v=1776230601"},{"product_id":"ground-cherry-ottos-brush-creek","title":"Ground Cherry, Otto's Brush Creek","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/restorationseeds.mom\/pages\/table-menu1\"\u003ePhysalis pubescens\u003c\/a\u003e##\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"how-to-grow-trigger how-to-grow-title\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003eHOW TO GROW GROUND CHERRY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"icon-down-arrow\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"how-to-grow-content\"\u003eStart ground cherries indoors mid-March through early May.
