Cut lettuce, which is found in grocery stores in plastic bags "ready to eat," is harvested in a different fashion. Crews hand cut and core the lettuce and place it in bulk containers which are transported to a processing facility. There it is cut and washed (in suitably cold water). It is then centrifuged to remove excess water and is often mixed with other types of lettuce or greens, shredded carrot and/or red cabbage. It may be treated with a chlorine-containing compound and/or an antioxidant or preservative during washing or before packaging. It is then bagged in special plastic films that maintain, internally, a certain ratio of atmospheric gases (N₂, O₂ and CO₂) that is different from ambient (lower in O₂ and higher in CO₂). The bags are then placed in cartons for temporary cold storage or for immediate shipment to market.

All seeds have an optimal temperature for germination, above which their failure rate increases markedly. Good seed companies, such as Territorial Seed and Johnny's Selected Seeds, will list the best temperature range for germination of each vegetable.   I strongly recommend you look at my Vegetable Garden Timetable first, and remember it's better to err on the late side!

It is important to remember that some seeds actually prefer cooler temperatures. This is especially true of certain flowers and perennials. When germinating ornamental plants, you might want to refer to the excellent Seed Germination Database put together by Tom Clothier and Asle Serigstad.

by late April they are still only about a foot tall. But they are tough, and I can put them out under my PVC hoophouse before May 1 most years, even though they'll almost certainly be exposed to temperatures in the 30s a few times. Growing this way, I get a first harvest by late June or early July.

ABOUT DIFFICULT SEEDS
Over millions of years, wild plants have evolved germination strategies which ensure their survival, but which may not be convenient for the home gardener who wants a quick and even stand of plants from a packet of seed. Many seeds sprout irregularly, so that if the first flush of seedlings is killed by adverse weather, insect predation, etc., more will come along to take their place. In adaptation to various environments, some seeds need periods of cold, warmth, darkness or light, fire, etc. Some have seedcoats of varying hardness or impermeability, and others contain chemical germination inhibitors which must be leached from the seed before it can sprout. Some species disperse themselves over wide areas by being eaten by animals, the seed sprouting far from the mother plant, the seedcoat softened by digestive juices. Many seeds have internal clocks, and give much higher germination at certain times of the year, regardless of the treatment given. All seeds wait for the correct time and conditions before sprouting, and the gardener must mimic those conditions to ensure successful germination.
We are continually testing seed for germination, and conduct research into improving methods of handling difficult species. For slow seeds, which take months or years, making a standard test impractical, we may use 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride to test for hydrogenase enzyme activity, which quickly indicates whether there is a living embryo in the seed. It can take years of research to determine the best ways to germinate a specific species. Oryzopsis seed has been studied for over 50 years, yet we still do not fully understand its requirements. Even then, seed collected from one population may germinate readily, yet the same species gathered in a cold-winter area may need cold treatment.
We offer many seeds which are easy, and sprout quickly and evenly. But with some you must be prepared to experiment, be patient, and use your initiative and intuition. Remember that with some rare species, you are venturing into unknown territory. Most corporate seed companies will not carry difficult seeds, only selling, easy, mass-produced varieties. We like to offer a more challenging alternative. --J.L.H. 11/89.

SOIL MIXES
Many seeds do well sown direct to ordinary garden soil, but even good soil may be poor in pots or flats. These need a lighter, looser soil. Most commercial mixes are fine, but the addition of some garden soil and compost will often insure adequate beneficial micro-organisms & fungi, A good soil mix can be made at home from 1/3 garden loam, 1/3 peat or compost, and 1/3 gritty sand. Number 1 limestone chick-grit makes a good top dressing for many alpines or slow germinating seed to discourage algae growth. Crushed charcoal also helps

Vegetables: Varieties

Lighting  High intensity discharge (HID) lamps, including high pressure sodium and metal halide lamps, are the only types that provide sufficient intensity and light quality for supplemental lighting. Low pressure sodium lamps, such as the yellow-orange lights used in street lighting, should not be used due to the adverse effect that their light quality has on plant growth habit.. Light quality affects plant growth. Most high pressure sodium lights, designed to produce high levels of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), tend to produce excessively elongated internodes. To compensate for this, metal halide lights that provide a greater portion of the blue spectrum may be added. Light placement and lighting schedules also affect growth and pollination.  Paul's Page on Lighting types

POLLINATION - Tomatoes are self pollinating under open field conditions. Pollen sheds and fertilization occurs as a function of normal air movement and its agitation of the plants and flowers. Under greenhouse conditions, flowers need to be agitated mechanically, or fruit needs to be set using plant chemical hormones that are sprayed on flower clusters on a regular basis. High Color Varieties: For trial: Spitfire, Cobia. Staking: Early Girl. For trial: Keno. Research in Indiana has demonstrated a benefit from starter or "pop-up" fertilizers. In direct seeded plantings, spray directly on the seed a solution of 2-6-0 (made up of 1 part 10-34-0 : 4 part water) at 1 pint per 100 lineal feet of row (use 1/2 this rate on sandy soils).Avoid excessive nitrogen applications, which can cause excessive vine growth and delay maturity.If symptoms of blossom end rot are detected, spray the leaves and fruit with calcium chloride at the rate of 2 Tbs in 1 gal water...Before planting 1. Add lime to adjust pH of soil to 6.8 to 7.2. Mix lime thoroughly in top 8 to 12 inches of soil. Lime is best applied in fall. After Planting  1. Mulch plants with black plastic or loose organic materials.2. Fertilize with nitrogen side-dressing only if it is required to maintain green color and moderate-growth. Use calcium nitrate or ammonium sulfate at rate of 0.25 lb to 100 sq ft (100 lb/A).VARIETY SELECTION FOR DISEASE AVOIDANCE     Staking and training tomatoes

In almost every State, the Extension Service will test soils and provide fertilizer recommendations.   

Organic Matter

Organic matter improves soil as a growing medium for plants. It helps release nitrogen, minerals, and other nutrients for plant use when it decays. A mulch of partially rotted straw, compost, or undecomposed crop residue on the soil helps keep the soil surface from crusting, retards water loss from the soil, and keeps weeds from growing.

Practically any plant material can be composted for use in the garden. Leaves, old sod, lawn clippings, straw, and plant refuse from the garden or kitchen can be used. Often, leaves can be obtained from neighbors who do not use them or from street sweepings.

Back to Vegetables

Asparagus  Mary Washington is the most widely available garden variety. Plants and seeds of newer varieties, such as UC-157 and Jersey Giant, are of limited availability to home gardeners. Keep bed free of weeds at all times. Remove all brown, frost-killed stalks in winter, and, if available, cover bed with 2 to 3 inches of composted manure. Each spring before growth begins, broadcast 2 to 3 pounds per 100 square feet or 25 feet of row of 6-8-8 fertilizer and work it lightly into the surface. Repeat fertilization after harvest

Variety  *Mary Washington -- leading home garden variety, some resistance to rust. Jersey Giant -- hybrid, 100 percent male; producer of larger, uniform spears, excellent vigor, tolerant to fusarium wilt.  Asparagus  is spring’s most luxurious vegetable, It was once cultivated for medicinal purposes as a natural remedy for blood cleansing and diuretic properties. During the Renaissance, asparagus was also promoted as an aphrodisiac and banned from the tables of most nunneries. Botanically, asparagus is a member of the lily family, closely related to onions and leeks, though it bears no resemblance to them in appearance or flavor. It is a finicky plant, harvested by hand and requiring much attention during the brief growing season. Left to mature it will sprout into beautiful feathery ferns that are often used in floral arrangements. While Europeans prize white asparagus, Americans tend to prefer the green or violet-green varieties. When buying asparagus look for compact tips and smooth green stems that are uniform in color down the length of the stem. Check the cut stem end for any signs of drying and always avoid withered spears.Pencil thin or thick stems can be equally delicious. Contrary to popular belief, thinner stems are not an indication of tenderness. Thick stems are already thick when they poke their heads out of the soil and thin stems do not get thicker with age. Tenderness is related to maturity and freshness. Asparagus comes in a variety of colors including white, violet-green, pink and purple. If you must store any variety of asparagus, treat it as you would treat a cut flower. Trim the stems and stand them in a glass with one to two inches of water. Cover with a plastic bag and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days or until ready to use.  Can I start asparagus from seed? A. Yes. You can grow your own plants by planting seeds 1/2 inch deep and 2 inches apart in the row. Start the seeds in the spring when the soil temperatures have reached 60°F. Dig the plants the following spring, before growth begins and transplant them to the permanent bed as soon as the garden can be worked. Growing your own plants delays establishment of your bed an additional year, but it ensures that you are starting with freshly dug crowns that have not lost vigor by being dug, stored and shipped. Also, variety selection is usually much greater when shopping for seeds rather than crowns.

All about peppers website

Peppers grow best on well-drained, moderately fertile soils. Use a soil test to determine fertilizer and liming requirements. Peppers grow best at soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Adjust soil pH to near neutral (7.0) for maximum yields.

Peppers: Some cross-pollination can be expected if different varieties are grown in adjacent rows. Are ready for seed production when they have turned color and begin to shrivel. If necessary, take them indoors for ripening

Pepper Stuff - A few peppers are grown in greenhouses. The varieties Bellboy, Blue Star and Mogador are reported to tolerate cool temperatures that sometimes occur in off-season greenhouse production. Harden transplants for about a week before transplanting to the field by reducing moisture and maintaining a temperature of 55 to 65 F. This will give resistance to wilting and sunscald..When growing transplants in unheated greenhouses, cold frames or field transplant beds, 8 to 14 weeks may be necessary. Seedlings are transplanted to other flats when the first true leaves are l.5 inches long and spaced 2 to 2.5 inches apart in the greenhouse or plant bed. Select starter fertilizers that have the highest level of phosphorus available, such as 10-52-17, 11-48-0, 11-55-0 dry fertilizers or 10-34-0 liquid fertilizer....Depth of transplanting has normally been to the top of the roots or root ball. Research from Florida with the variety Jupiter suggests that pepper transplants may benefit from being set deeper, up to the first true leaf. Thirty days after transplanting, plants planted to the first true leaf had more leaves, greater plant dry weight, more blooms and less lodging than transplants planted to the cotyledons or to the top of the root ball. Other data from Pennsylvania suggest caution however. Soil temperature and moisture would be important considerations.Bell pepper for greenhouse production Green or red fruit for specialty markets (for trial only): Cubico, Plutona. Yellow fruit: Golden Belle, Marengo, Orobelle. Orange fruit: Ariane, Valencia.

Sphagnum moss is used in the floral industry to line wire baskets and make wreaths. It is the LIVING moss that grows on top of a sphagnum bog. Sphagnum peat moss is used as a soil conditioner by gardeners. It is the dead material that accumulates in the lower levels of a sphagnum bog. Harvesters of the horticultural peat moss remove the top few inches of the live sphagnum moss before harvesting the peat from the lower levels of the bog.   ...sphagnum peat moss you use as a soil amendment   .... Standard potting soil is not acid enough and will not maintain an acid condition over a long period of time with the alkalinity bombardment of water and soil leaching.

One has to be careful of the kind of peat moss he or she uses to alter the soil horror with which we must contend.
There are three major types of peat moss in the trade. They are moss-peat (peat moss), reed-sedge peat, and peat humus ..Nearly all peat imported from Canada or Europe is derived from sphagnum moss. It is very acidic with a pH of 3.6 to 4.2. The color is tan to brown. Moss peat is light weight, porous, high in moisture-holding capacity but low in nitrogen (0.6 to 1.4 percent). It is an excellent soil conditioner but will require some lime when used to grow anything other than
acid-loving plants in containerized or container-like (such as the excavated hole) situations.

To do this, it should be heated to 180F for a half hour or so

So to "fight off" the onslaught of alkalinity, an organic material produced in an area which has acid soils MUST be used.

So why is pH so important? When the pH of a soil is too high (alkaline) or too low (acidic), most of the minor fertilizer
elements (iron, manganese, molybdenum) become unavailable for plant uptake. Plants must have the minor elements, especially iron, Iron deficiency in plants is a problem common to many landscapes due to our very alkaline soil. For further information about lawn fertilization, see: site

Dark brown or black mycelial threads of this fungus (Fig. 1) are distinctive and produce scattered black dots (hyphopodia) that anchor the fungus to the plant. Roots of affected plants become shortened, discolored, and often have dark colored lesions that are visible upon inspection with a hand lens.

Can plant diseases be controlled organically?

Fungi or bacteria cause a very large number of garden plant diseases. Soap-Shield and Soil-Guard, two Gardens Alive! introductions have proved to be very effective in fighting a wide range of fungus diseases.
Most mosaic diseases (viruses) and wilt infect plants through wounds caused by insects. That’s why many effective products contain botanicals to kill insects as well as minerals to prevent disease infection. Rotenone/Copper Combo is one such product.
But the best way to fight disease in the garden is to try to prevent it in the first place. Avoid wet, soggy soils since they favor many root diseases. Rotate your crops to deter the build-up of plant-specific diseases. Use only disease-free seed and transplants. Maintain good soil tilth and fertility and maintain soil pH between 6.5 and 7.0. At lower pH levels (more acid) disease pathogens are favored. Don’t overcrowd plants. Thin them to permit free air circulation and prevent humidity build-up, which fosters disease. And be sure to destroy or discard diseased plants; don’t compost them.

PH --The term pH stands for the relationship of hydrogen ions (H+) to hydroxyl ions (OH-). A soil pH reading indicates on a logarithmic scale the concentration of ions held to soil particles and organic matter. A pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with pH 7.0 being neutral. Readings below 7.0 indicate a soil is “acid,” and readings above 7.0 indicate “alkaline” soil conditions. Most of the plants we grow in our home gardens require a soil which is slightly acid. Most vegetables in a garden prefer growing in soil with a pH between 6.2 and 6.8.  Good site for garden fact when planting your garden

REMEMBER--All peppers are perennials, and make nice house-plants if grown in potting soil in 2-3 gallon plastic pots, and taken indoors when the nights drop into the 40s. Move plants outdoors when nights go back into the 50s. Plants will live for several years that way, most will stop growing in the winter and lose most of their leaves, but will leaf back out in spring.

Coconut fiber is also high in root stimulating hormones and offers some protection against root diseases including fungus infestation. Dutch growers have found that a mixture of 50% coconut fiber and 50% expanded clay pellets is the perfect growing medium.

One word of caution about coconut fiber, you must be careful when you purchase coconut fiber. There is a commonly available, lower grade of coconut fiber that is high in sea-salt and is very fine grained. This lower grade coconut fiber will lead to disappointing results when used in a hydroponic system.

Calculations   The numbers in the table represent the quantity of vermiculite that will be used per acre

the name vermiculite is derived from the Latin 'vermiculare' - to breed worms). This characteristic of exfoliation, the basis for commercial use of the mineral, is the result of the mechanical separation of the layers by the rapid conversion of contained water to steam. The increase in bulk volume of commercial grades is 8 to 12 times, but individual flakes may exfoliate as many as 30 times. There is a color change during expansion that is dependent upon the composition of the vermiculite and furnace temperature. The bulk density of crude vermiculite or vermiculite concentrate is in the range of 640-1120 kg/m³ (40-70 lb/ft³) and exfoliated or expanded vermiculite is in the range of 64-160 kg/m³ (4-10 lb/ft³).
