Which Plants are Heavy Feeders?

I guess I should start out by explaining the term 
"heaver feeder."  In garden-speak, a heavy feeder is a plant variety that requires more nutrients than your average plant.  For this article I'm talking veggies.

If you're growing a veggie garden or you've ever grown a garden then you probably know that nutrients are very important.  Sun and soil are important as well (and SEEDS) but nutrients also play an integral role in plant health.

Most "all-in-one" type of fertilizers have an "NPK" rating.  NPK stands for Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium (potash).  What does each nutrient do? In addition to other properties, Nitrogen helps plant foliage to grow strong. Phosphorous helps roots and flowers grow and develop. Potassium (Potash) is important for overall plant health.

We now offer a unique selection of Organic Nutrients & Soil Amendments at Mary's Heirloom Seeds.

For step-by-step growing instructions, feel free to check out my Growing Tips & Videos page.  There is a wealth of info available!

The classifications below are based on having fertile soil at the start.  If you have sandy soil or clay soil, amending the soil is important.

Heavy Feeders include Asparagus, Broccoli, Celery, Corn, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Melons, Okra, Peppers, Pumpkins, Squash and Tomatoes.

For heavy feeders, work your organic nutrients into the soil approx 3 weeks before planting.  If you have already planted, making your own liquid feed is very easy with the right nutrients.

For Eggplant, Peppers, Squash and Tomatoes I usually fertilize every 3-4 weeks, with the first fertilization at planting for the first 9 weeks.  Each variety of nutrients will have their own set of instruction.  The organic nutrients I use call for approx 1 tablespoon at a time.  During the approx 9 weeks I side-dress with homemade compost, compost tea or DIY Alfalfa Tea fertilizer for one or all of the "feedings."

Be careful not to fertilize too close the the stem or base of your plant.  Nutrients should be applied at the "drip-line" of the plant to keep from burning your plant.


Moderate Feeders include Beans, Bok Choy, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower,  GREENS: Kale, Lettuce, Spinach and Swiss Chard.

Beets, Carrots, Leeks, Onions, Radish and Rutabaga are all light feeders.  If your radish grows spindly then it needs calcium.  Otherwise, just make sure your soil is fertile and you should be good to go.

For moderate and light feeders, work your organic nutrients into the soil approximately 3 weeks before planting.  If you have already planted, making your own liquid feed is very easy.

Growing Dandelion from Seed to Harvest

Dandelion isn't just a pesky garden weed.  Did you know that eating Dandelion can actually be good for you?

At Mary's Heirloom Seeds we carry Dandelion Seeds.



Chicory greens have long, broad, dandelion-like leaves with an asparagus-like flavor. A rapid grower, the leaves and tender spring stalks can be used as early greens.
Germination: 45-70 days
Days to Maturity: 52-80 days 

About Dandelion
Dandelion greens contain vitamin C, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, thiamin, riboflavin, beta carotene and fiber. They are actually more nutritious than most of the fruits and vegetables you can buy in the grocery store.
It is also touted as being beneficial to your liver, kidneys, blood and digestion. Not to mention that it supposedly helps with acne, weight-loss, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It is nearly a perfect food.

From Global Healing Center
HERBAL PROPERTIES AND USES:
Highly nutritious and known to treat a variety of ailments, dandelion is a great plant to grow in your garden. From heart problems to acne, liver diseases to eye conditions, most people are unaware that this weed has higher amounts of potassium than bananas and more vitamin A than carrots. Dandelion is also reported to have anti-rheumatic capacities. It is also a powerful diuretic with additional laxative properties. Good for hepatic and gallbladder conditions, digestive complaints, as well as general constipation.


Growing Dandelion from Seed
Because dandelion is considered a weed, it doesn't take much effort to grow.  If you're looking for a low-maintenance garden green.

Plant seeds directly in the garden 1/4 inch deep in the soil in single rows, about 8 inches.  Plant the dandelion seeds in early spring in well-drained, fertile soil.

Harvesting Dandelion
Never harvest dandelions from a location that is near a road or has been treated with pesticides or other chemicals.  Harvest leaves as needed when they are a usable size.

Plant Nutrients - Getting Started

If you're growing a veggie garden or you've ever grown a garden then you probably know that nutrients are very important.  Sun and soil are important as well (and SEEDS) but nutrients also play an integral role in plant health.
My Organic Peppers!
Most "all-in-one" type of fertilizers have an "NPK" rating.  NPK stands for Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium (potash).  What does each nutrient do? In addition to other properties, Nitrogen helps plant foliage to grow strong. Phosphorous helps roots and flowers grow and develop. Potassium (Potash) is important for overall plant health.

Organic Blood Meal (Nitrogen) 12-0-0
 Blood Meal is a 100% natural fertilizer that's extremely rich in nitrogen. Provides a consistent source of minerals and nutrients for plants considered "heavy feeders."
Keep your plant soil healthy with this nitrogen rich fertilizer
Depending upon the crops you grow, soil that has been too often planted can start to lose its growing potential. Over time, the minerals and nutrients that plants need to grow and stay healthy become depleted. Blood meal helps restore these lost nutrients and revitalize depleted gardening beds.
Blood meal is an all natural powdered fertilizer that contains one of the highest, non-synthetic nitrogen counts (12-0-0) available.
  • Easy to use  
  • Works in gardens, yards, lawns, and soil beds
  • Perfect for revitalizing soils that have been heavily worked
  • Scent serves as a deterrent to common garden pests such as rabbits and deer
  • Also helps accelerate composting breakdown of carbon based composts such as leaves and straw
Blood Meal works quickly, providing “heavy” feeding plants such as corn, lettuce, and okra with the high amounts of nitrogen. This fast acting organic fertilizer works to build new growth and keeps mature plants healthy and green. Blood meal can help brown, spotted, or wilting plants recover by infusing the soil around their roots with nutrients and minerals essential to healthy plant growth.
More information about Blood Meal
Blood Meal works with bacteria and nematodes in the soil to breakdown the powder into nitrogen components so plants can more easily absorb the nutrients. This increased bacterial process adds life to your soil base, causing increased root growth and a stronger overall root system.
Because Blood Meal has such a high nitrogen count, applications should be spread out enough to allow time for the plant to use the extra nutrients. Overuse could result in excessive amounts of nitrogen being present, which can damage plants instead of feeding them. This phenomenon is known as “burning” and occurs with nearly all fertilizers when they are overused.

Organic Bone Meal (Phosphorus) 4-12-0

How can you tell if your garden has a phosphorus deficiency? The easiest way to tell is to look at the plants. If your plants are small, are producing little or no flowers and have a bright green or purplish cast to them, you have a phosphorus deficiency. Since most plants in the garden are grown for their flowers or fruit, replacing phosphorus in the soil if it is lacking is very important.

Phosphorus is involved in many plant processes, including:
  • Energy transfer reactions
  • Development of reproductive structures
  • Crop maturity
  • Root growth
  • Protein synthesis
Work the bone meal into the soil well if you are planting a new bed. If you are fertilizing existing plants, rake the top 2 inches of soil around the plants with a bow rake or hoe to work in the bone meal. Use care to avoid disturbing the plant roots.

  • A complete plant food with all 15 essential nutrients
  • Originally developed for professional gardeners
  • Complex blend of natural organics provide complete and balanced feeding of all 15 nutrients
  • Environmentally safe
  • No sludges, hazardous or toxic ingredients

Doc's Hydro Grow Kit part 1

I've put off posting about our hyrdo growing experiment.  Doc and I are growing hydroponic Scorpion Peppers!!!!  These are gonna be some HOT peppers.

Doc is growing his pepper plant in his hydro system and I am growing peppers in dirt.  Guess which one is growing HUGE?

Check out this timeline of pictures comparing the DIRT-grown Pepper with the HYDRO-grown pepper.

5/4/2014 HYDRO pepper.  
At this point, the hydro and dirt grown peppers are about the same.  They are approx 6 weeks from germination.  Out of 2 seeds we planted in rockwool, only 1 germinated.

Out of the 7 seeds we planted in dirt, 5 germinated.  All total we planted 9 seeds and now have 6 seedlings.

5/15/2014 HYDRO pepper.  
Once the roots grew deeper into the nutrient solution, this plant EXPLODED with growth.  It's amazing the difference in only 11 days.

5/15/2014
Comparison between the HYDRO pepper(left) and the DIRT pepper(right).
The HYDRO pepper is a deeper shade of green.  The DIRT pepper is a bit taller with it's leaves a bit more spread out.

5/22/2014 
Comparison between the HYDRO pepper (left) and the DIRT pepper (right).

The difference in just a week is INCREDIBLE!  The HYDRO pepper is growing at an amazing rate.
The stem of the HYDRO pepper
The stem of the DIRT pepper



















Check out these ROOTS...

Doc's Hydro Grow Kit is a Brand NEW item we offer in our booth at the Yellow Green Farmer's Market. 

One HUGE plus to growing HYDRO instead of outdoors in dirt has been NO BUGS!  My dirt-grown peppers have already gone through a round of white fly and powdery mildew while the HYDRO-pepper is pest-free.

Doc's Hydro Grow Kit includes
1 food-grade (BPA Free) grow bucket, 1 - 5 gallon black bucket (to keep your roots in the dark),

1 - 6 inch basket lid (where your plant grows) with enough hydroton to fill and 3 cubes of rockwool (both growing media)















1 air pump and 1 air stone with tubing to oxygenate the water.

We'll have more Doc's Hydro Grow Kits available this weekend at the Yellow Green Farmer's Market in Booth #281. 

If you are interested in indoor lighting and nutrients, please check out our Indoor Growing Accessories page.

We'll keep you posted on our progress in another 2 weeks.  Until then Happy Planting!

Growing Watermelon from Seed to Harvest

Does the thought of sweet and Juicy summertime Watermelon get your mouth watering?  We love watermelon!

Mary's Heirloom Seeds offers several varieties of Watermelon.
Golden Midget Watermelon
 
Planting Watermelon Seeds
Indoors:
If you have a short growing season or want to get a head start, plant watermelon seeds indoors in individual containers or pots. We recommend using coconut coir pellets, which can be planted directly in the garden with minimal transplant shock. Plant one to two seeds per pot. 

Outdoors:
Sow watermelon seeds in hills or rows. For regular watermelons, sow three to four seeds per hill, spacing the hills eight to ten feet apart. Space the rows ten feet apart or more, if you have room. Thin watermelon seedlings in each hill, to two seedlings one week after they have germinated. When planting in rows, space the seeds four to six inches apart and thin seedlings to ten to twelve inches apart. For bush varieties, final spacing can be cut in half or even more if you are tight for space. 
Days to Germinate: 3-5 days
Days to Harvest: 65-85 days
Growing Conditions for Watermelon

Watermelon prefers full sun for healthy, strong vines. 

Companion plants for Watermelon

Planting corn with your watermelon will provide shade for the plants during the hottest time of the day. Allow about a foot between the corn plants so the watermelon plants still receive enough sun.

Young melon plants are susceptible to insect invasion, especially cucumber beetles. Once the plants mature, they can tolerate some leaf loss due to insects, but keeping companion plants nearby helps control swarms of pests. Cass County Master Gardeners recommend marigold, oregano and nasturtium as companion plants for melons. 

Diatomaceous Earth is a great organic tool to kill and deter pests. 

Harvesting Watermelon
from almanac.com,  Dr. Bill Rhodes, professor of horticulture at Clemson University, offers the following advice on how to tell if watermelons are ripe:
  • Thump it. If the watermelon sounds hollow, it's ripe.
  • Look at the color on the top. The watermelon is ripe when there is little contrast between the stripes.
  • Look at the color on the bottom. A green watermelon will have a white bottom; a ripe melon will have a cream- or yellow-colored bottom.
  • Press on it. If the watermelon sounds like it gives a little, it's ripe. (Rhodes doesn't like this method because it can ruin the quality of the fruit.)
  • Check the tendril. If it's green, wait. If it’s half-dead, the watermelon is nearly ripe or ripe. If the tendril is fully dead, it's ripe or overripe; it’s not going to get any riper, so you might as well pick!
  • Stems should be cut with a sharp knife close to the fruit.
  • Watermelons can be stored uncut for about 10 days. If cut, they can last in the refrigerator for about 4 days. Wrap tightly in plastic.

Growing GREENS from Seed to Harvest

Since I wrote Food Prices are on the Rise I figured I'd share info on growing GREENS!  In case you missed my article, Lettuce is set to rise by 34% in the coming months.
Swiss Chard  and Beets growing in a large container

Growing GREENS from Seed to Harvest

Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in moist soil.  It is best to sow lettuce or spinach seeds thinly in rows spaced about 1 ft. apart or simply scatter the seeds in blocks. Cover lightly with soil, firm in place and water well. Keep the soil moist until germination. Once the plants have a grown their true leaves, you can begin to thin the plants to about 6" apart.
Pak Choy Cabbage
Start lettuce or spinach indoors or direct seeded in the garden as soon as the soil is workable.  Great for container gardens. 

Depending on the type of lettuce, harvest outer leaves only or cut down the whole head.
Spinach can be harvested in the cut and come again method of harvesting lettuce. Cut individual leaves, starting with the older, outer leaves, and letting the young inner leaves remain and continue growing for a later harvest. You can also cut down the whole plant, for a larger harvest.  

Tip: Soak seeds overnight in water before planting to ensure strong germination.

Vulcan Swiss Chard
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and 3 inches apart. Set out seedlings 8 inches apart. Indoors or out, thin newly germinated seedlings with cuticle scissors instead of pulling them out. Chard seed capsules often contain two or more seeds. If more than one germinates snip off all but the strongest sprout at the soil line. Gradually thin direct-sown seedlings to 8-12 inches apart.

Harvest individual leaves from the outer area but be sure to leave the crown intact.

Frequent picking helps to stimulate the production of new leaves. Rinse leaves with cool water immediately, shake off the excess moisture, and store in plastic bags in the refrigerator for up to four days. 

Companion Plants for GREENS

Chards: Bean, cabbage family, tomato, onion and roses. Don't overlook chard's value as an ornamental plant in flower beds or wherever you have room for it. Don't grow chard near cucurbits, melons, corn or herbs.
Lettuce: Does well with beets, broccoli, bush beans, pole beans, carrots, cucumbers, onion, radish and strawberries. It grows happily in the shade under young sunflowers. Dill and lettuce are a perfect pair. Keep lettuce away from cabbage. Cabbage is a deterrent to the growth and flavor of lettuce.
Spinach: Plant with peas and beans as they provide natural shade for the spinach. Gets along with cabbage, cauliflower, celery, eggplant, onion, peas, strawberries and fava bean. Plant spinach with squash. It's a good use of space because by the time squash plants start to get big the spinach is ready to bolt. 

Recipe for your GREENS Harvest

Food Prices are on the Rise

Back when I first opened Mary's Heirloom Seeds I wrote the following introduction,

You may have noticed that the price on food, especially produce has been going up.  The quality, not to mention the nutritional value, has been suffering for quite a while.

Homegrown Black Beauty Eggplant
Heirloom seeds or seeds that have been passed down for generations are far hardier and as some studies suggest, have more nutritional value than genetically modified (GMO) seeds.

I don't sell anything that I wouldn't grow in my own garden.  All of the seeds listed are un-treated, non-hybrid, open-pollinated, non-gmo, heirloom seeds.  Plants are grown using no chemicals. 

Anyway, I have been growing my own vegetables and besides the money they save me the flavor is WAY better than the vegetables available at the supermarket.  It also makes me feel less dependent on the supply and I know what goes on my veggies.

I put together a few packages of seeds that seem to belong together and the individual seeds are available also.  Food prices are not going down and growing your own food, especially heirloom veggies, is a great way to save money and get more nutrition for your dollar.       

Happy planting,
Mary

That was 3 years ago.  Food prices are still going up!  This weekend I shared a WSJ article Attention Shoppers: Fruit and Vegetable Prices are Rising.  For those of us trying to become more self-sufficient, we already know this!
From the article,  "The cost of fresh produce is poised to jump in the coming months as a three-year drought in California shows few signs of abating, according to an Arizona State University study set to be released Wednesday.The study found a head of lettuce could increase in price as much as 62 cents to $2.44; avocado prices could rise 35 cents to $1.60 each; and tomatoes could cost 45 cents more at $2.84 per pound. (The run-up in produce prices is in line with other projections showing that overall food cost gains are expected to accelerate this year.)"

The prices listed above are most likely an average.  Here in Florida, conventionally grown tomatoes are $3.99 a pound and almost TWICE that if you buy organic.

If you follow the Midlife Farm Wife (or read the news) you know that Beef and Pork prices are going up as well. 
From her article Beef in the US...The Steaks are High, "Due to an extremely harsh winter and the loss of thousands of beef animals, South Dakota was terribly hard hit as early as October 2013 as reported in The Huffington Post, there is now far less beef available "home grown" beef. Coupled with the effects of the drought we suffered in the Midwest summer of 2012 which caused many beef farms to liquidate, there were less animals to begin with, PRIOR to the bad winter.
Back to our country in general. In the 1980's the U.S. there were over 115 million cattle, now that number is less than 90 million which might explain why we import approximately 15% of our beef  from Canada, Mexico, Australia and South America.Beef is obviously limited and beef prices are skyrocketing. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that the average price of ground beef in February 2014 was up to $5.28/pound compared to just $4.19/pound in 2013. A decade before it averaged $3.60/pound."

What are my solutions for the rising cost of food?  Well, I have several.  First...GROW YOUR OWN VEGGIES!  It really doesn't take a lot of time or effort to grow a basil plant or even salad greens.  Arugula is an easy green to grow and takes approx 40 days.  It needs soil, water and sun.  Arugula can even be grown in a recycled plastic or wood container. No need to go out and spend a bunch of money.  At Mary's Heirloom Seeds you can purchase a packet of non-gmo, open-pollinated Arugula seeds (200 seeds) for only $3.00!
Homegrown Green Beans from seed!
Tomatoes take a bit longer to grow, about 60-90 days but well worth the effort.  Mary's Heirloom Seeds offers 21 different varieties of HEIRLOOM Tomato seeds.
Heirloom Tomatoes are so delicious and juicy!
Riesentraube Tomato (grape variety)

Choose from Cherokee Purple, Emerald Green, Amana's Orange, Cherry and Beefsteak varieties.  Prices range from $3 to $4 for 25 to 45 seeds.  If you've never eaten an heirloom or homegrown tomato you are missing out!
Amana's Orange Tomato
As for meat, we have cut back.  I'm not saying we have become vegetarians but we no longer eat meat twice a day.  As the primary cook in the house I manage to prepare healthy, well-rounded meals using REAL food (not processed junk).  I've decided to go back to Meatless Mondays.  This is a great way to eat more veggies and cut back on our grocery bill. 


SPROUTS are another way to get nutrient-dense "greens" without spending lots of money or time.  Mung Beans grow into Bean Sprouts in as few as 3-6 days.  Mung Beans are my favorite!  Check out Nutritional Info for Sprouts. SPROUTS can be grown in a glass jar on the kitchen counter.  They don't need light or dirt...Just water!
3+ Cups of Organic Sprouts from 1/4 cup of beans
If you decide to check out Mary's Heirloom Seeds here are a few tidbits...
All of the seeds listed are open-pollinated, non-gmo and non-hybrid,
non-patented,  untreated, heirloom garden seeds.
