#HOPI PURPLE CORN

[wealthypioneers]

SUGAR RUSH PEACH hot pepper, Organic, Heirloom, Non-Gmo B5 Amazing Sugar-Sweet Flavor and Some Fire Too! A sumptuous snacking pepper, Sugar Rush Peach is by far the most fun pepper to eat. The long, peach-colored fruit is packed with loads of super sweet, tropical flavor, and the seeds bring a smoky, complex heat that when used together, creates a wild flavor experience unparalleled in any pepper we have tried. This exciting new open-pollinated variety was bred by hot pepper prodigy Chris Fowler of Wales. Chris credits this amazing variety as being a happy accident courtesy of adventurous pollinating insects buzzing between various varieties of Capsicum baccatum, or Aji Peppers. The result: super early, high yields of these exquisite sweet-hot peppers. 8-12 hours of Sun Sprouts in 7-10 Days Ideal Temperature: 70-95 Degrees F Seed Depth: 1/4" Plant Spacing: 14-18" Frost Hardy: No Capsicum baccatum http://springsofeden.myshopify.com/products/sugar-rush-peach-hot-pepper-organic-heirloom-non-gmo-b5

Hmm. Hopi Blue corn. I think possibly the misconception here is that ,when I hear "blue" in the context of animals fur, I know we're really talking about a cool gray tone. However, for most vegetables, bright, vivid colors really exist and "purple" asparagus is genuinely purple, "strawberry" popcorn is actually a deep red. Hopi Blue is a cool gray, and therefore somewhat of a disappointment.

Live and learn!

Transylvanian Giant Sunflowers live up to their name! Sunflowers are native to Central and North America. Their earliest fully domesticated remains have been found in Tabasco, Mexico (2600 BC) and Tennessee (2300 BC). Sometimes called the fourth sister (with corn, beans, and squash), sunflower is an important, nutritious, and beautiful indigenous food plant. So why Transylvania? Well, we got our seeds from Eric and Erica of Uprising Seeds, who received them in Romania from Jere Lajos who sells his seeds in towns around Transylvania. I’m not sure how they got to Transylvania, but I have heard that down the road in Russia, plant breeders began selecting sunflowers for oilseed production, especially during the Stalin era, as the Orthodox Church forbids olive oil, butter, and lard during Lent, but when these rules were made, there were no sunflowers on the continent. This is a big part of the story of why sunflower oil is in our potato chips, etc. (see NPR’s unfortunately named “How The Russians Saved America's Sunflower”, which aired in 2012). We grow this variety for its outstanding height (see Amirah and Chris for scale), but we also grow Hopi Dye Sunflower, which is gorgeous and used traditionally for its purple/black dye. More traditional varieties of sunflowers bred by indigenous folks from Turtle Island are being eclipsed by monocultures of oilseed crop for mass produced snack foods. Whatever you do, get to know your sunflowers! Like everything else we grow and eat, countless generations of small scale farmers, gardeners, non-human animals, and our same old big bright sun had a hand in getting them to your mouth. #transylvaniangiantsunflower @uprising.seeds #hopiblackdyesunflower #hopidyesunflower https://www.instagram.com/p/B0g30OLAiin/?igshid=1j24jd9vwl28i

MONTANA CUDU CORN, Organic, Heirloom, Non-Gmo B10 A beautiful spotted variety that is descended from a historic Native American variety. Ed Schultz, renowned corn breeder from Montana, has worked to adapt a blended corn as a tribute to a sacred Native American variety. Cudu corn is said to be an ancient native American variety used for sacred ritual. A sample of seeds was donated to the USDA seed bank by Oscar Will in 1958. The original donated seed may have been accidentally inbred or crossed, as the cobs were stunted and short, and kernels had begun to lose their signature blue eagle marking. Ed is a far northern grower who has worked to create beautiful and early-maturing corns like Atomic Orange and the Papa’s corn. He received a sample of seeds from the USDA and has worked for over five years to adapt it to his northern region and to create longer cobs. He reports that this variety has long, slender ears and beautiful blue-spotted kernels. To achieve this variety, he bred true Cudu corn with a small percentage of Papa’s White corn.

Legends of the Fall

by Cynthia Brian

“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it.” George Elliot 

Fall is filled with legends, myths, fairs, and festivals all celebrating the bounty from various cultures around the world. Pomona was the Roman goddess of apples. Bacchus, the Roman god of grapes, and his Greek counterpart, Dionysus taught humans how to make wine. Many Native American tribes traditionally held special autumn dances to celebrate the corn harvest and the Hopi considered this the most auspicious time of the year for weddings. The Chinese and Vietnamese commemorate farmers and family reunions with Moon Festivals, lotus seed paste-filled moon-cakes, and re-telling of folk tales. The ancient Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago, marked the end of the harvest with the festival of Samhain, the origin of our Halloween.

In my twenties, I was booked as a model by a talent agency named Demeter. Having always been fascinated by Greek mythology, I revisited my history books for a refresher lesson. 

Demeter, the sister of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades was the goddess of the harvest, agriculture, and grain. After her daughter Persephone was abducted by Hades and brought to the underworld, Demeter wandered the earth heartbroken, refusing to allow crops to grow. Being king of the gods, Zeus knew he had to intervene or everyone would starve so he sent Hermes to Hades to bring Persephone home. Before she left to see her Mother, Hades tricked Persephone into eating a few pomegranate seeds guaranteeing that she would return to the darkness for one season a year.  Demeter mourned that time which became known as winter but celebrated the previous season, autumn, by reaping the abundance of the crops.

Fall is considered a time to slow down, seek serenity, and soothe the sores of summer. It’s a time of color changes, chillier temperatures, and cooler temperaments. Most of all, we rejoice the fruits of our toils. October has also been a premier month for earthquakes, fires, and financial failures. Be prepared as this fact is not a myth.

Purple loosestrife brightens gardens although it could easily become an invasive species.  Keep an eye on yours if you have it cultivated.  Grape is being crushed into a new vintage, guavas are self-harvesting, apples are ready for bobbing, pistache and Japanese maple trees are blazing gold and crimson, begonias are in full bloom, and the final days of picking fresh produce from our vegetable gardens loom closer.  As the French proverb states, “Autumn is the hush before winter.”

The days are shorter, the nights become longer as we commence the holiday fetes of the forthcoming two months. Autumn is indeed delicious both literally and metaphorically. Decorate for a Trick or Treat party, prepare for Thanksgiving, and get ready for the Christmas and Chanukah festivities of December with cuttings from your landscape.

Enjoy these final days of fluttering leaves and warm sunshine while indulging in the harvests and legends of fall.

Cynthia Brian’s Mid Month Gardening Guide for October. 

VISIT the library to find books relating to the myths, tales, and legends of autumn.

BUY spring blooming bulbs including anemone, elephant ears, ranunculus, caladium, dahlia, freesia, shamrock, and calla lilies. 

DECORATE for All-Hallows Eve with corn stalks, gourds, pumpkins, apples, and grasses.

BRING the outside in with green, air purifying houseplants such as dieffenbachia, fan palms, sail plant, fern, and philodendron.

PLANT shrubs and ornamental trees for year around interest now to allow them to develop strong roots before winter dormancy. Consider hydrangea, lilac, forsythia, and viburnum.

ELEVATE your garden with climbers of wisteria, clematis, sweet pea, and climbing hydrangea.

COMPOST leaves, grass cuttings, and fall debris to reinvigorate your spring soil.

DIVIDE ornamental grasses that have a dead center with a ring of living green. They need to be re-invigorated.

HARVEST apples, tomatillos, tomatoes, eggplant, squash, and grapes. 

COLLECT baskets of self-harvested guavas that have fallen to make autumn desserts.

CUT kale leaves as needed. Collect seed pods to plant.

PRUNE dead branches from trees, especially deciduous trees such as Japanese maple and evergreens such as redwoods to encourage new growth.

STOMP on the mounds of moles that may be invading your lawn or building tunnels along your sidewalks. Although moles don’t eat plants, they do destroy the beauty of the soil with their burrowing for grubs, beetles, worms, and insects. If you are wondering if you have moles or gophers, here’s a tip. Gopher mounds are crescent shaped with an opening in the middle whereas moles leave a rounded, volcano-like pile of fluffy dirt without an exit aperture. Both are territorial and destructive, however, gophers are worse because they eat your plants and the roots. Eradicate moles by collapsing their channels. Stomp away!

SEED your lawn with Pearls Premium that grows deep roots and is a water saver. Use code STAR20 at checkout for a 20% discount at www.PearlsPremium.com. Discount extended to October 31.

MAKE an emergency “go bag” as fires or other disasters can strike at any time.

CREATE an arrangement or floral bouquet in pink honoring Breast Cancer Month.

Japonica Striped Corn, Candy Striped Corn Organic, Heirloom, Non-Gmo B10 Use the garnet red kernels to make cornmeal. An heirloom, ornamental variety from Japan grown for it's beautiful striped leaves. Japonica Striped Corn makes an excellent decorative border with wide spacing between plants. Corn has dark purple tassels and burgundy kernels. Count: 10 85-110 Days Full Sun Sprouts in 7-10 Days Seed Depth: 1-2" Ideal Temperature: 75-80 F Plant Spacing: 12" Plant Height: 6-7' Frost Hardy: No Zea mays This spectacular heirloom corn is one gorgeous plant. A rare Japanese strain with candy-striped leaves and burgundy kernels, its shiny foliage is ribbons of pink, green, and white, absolutely striking in a container or the back of a mixed border. The flashy plants look tropical, right at home with gingers. Japonica does produce corn, deep burgundy red cobs that make fabulous popcorn. This is a gorgeous plant from seeding to harvest. It's as easy to grow as any corn, but you don't need a farm to enjoy the lovely foliage. Grow some in a pot on the patio and enjoy it up close. Zea mays Pink Zebra - Dwarf variegated ornamental corn. Green and white striped foliage adds showy purples/red/pinks in cool nights/long days. The original seeds were brought from Japan in the mid 1800's. This is a true heirloom. Seeds can be started 3-4 weeks before the last frost indoors, or direct sow one week after last frost. Growing Tips: Direct sow into the richest soil available 1-2 weeks before last spring frost. Succession planting prolongs harvest; planting in blocks improves pollination. Direct sow outdoors after the threat of frost has passed, until mid-summer. Sow corn seeds directly 3-4 inches apart, in rows spaced 36 inches apart in blocks of at least 4 rows to insure proper pollination for kernel formation. Thin plants to indicate spacing if necessary. Corn requires fertile soil and little attention. Water during dry periods. http://springsofeden.myshopify.com/products/japonica-striped-corn-candy-striped-corn-organic-heirloom-non-gmo-b10

Alfalfa, Organic, Heirloom, Non-Gmo B250 Count: 250+ 4-6 Days. Medicago sativa. High Germination. Organic. Non-GMO. An ancient field crop that has continued to shine in this modern era, organic alfalfa has since become arguably the most popular sprouting seed on the planet. Found in nearly any restaurant, deli, or grocery store, organic alfalfa sprouts are one of the most delicious and diverse varieties of seed sprouts available. Whether sprouting at home or for commercial use, non-GMO organic alfalfa sprout seeds are simple to grow, full of raw vitamins and nutrients, and ready to harvest in just 5-6 days. Organic Alfalfa Sprouting Seeds Alfalfa is one of the most reliable and effortless sprouting seeds and its worldwide success has helped introduce sprouting to a new generation. Technically a legume, alfalfa is best treated as a salad sprout because of its similar growth habits to broccoli, cabbage, and radish. Alfalfa seed is small, soft-shelled, and only requires a quick 4-6 hour soak. Like salad sprouts, keep alfalfa away from light until the final 12-24 hours before harvest. How to Sprout Organic Alfalfa Sprouting Seeds Alfalfa is one of the cleanest and most hygienic sprouting seeds, only requiring 2-3 daily rinses while keeping sprouts protected from light. Rinse thoroughly with cold water to keep sprouts free of organic decomposition and metabolic waste from sprouting. Although seeding rate may seem light, alfalfa sprouts will expand in about 6 days, quickly filling the tray or jar to capacity. In the final 12-24 hours of sprouting, allow alfalfa lighting to develop green chlorophyll. Sprouts may grow entirely in the dark for sweeter, white alfalfa sprouts. Sprouting Tray: Sprouting trays conveniently stack on the kitchen counter, providing a wide and shallow all-in-one place for seeds to soak, rinse, drain, germinate, and grow. Except for true mucilaginous seeds like chia, flax, and arugula, sprouting trays are the preferred method for nearly every type of seed. Sprouting Jar: Sprouting jars are the most popular and appealing method today for compact and portable 2-6 day sprouts. At home, work, or on the road, jars provide a decorative all-in-one place for seeds to soak, rinse, drain, germinate, and grow. Harvesting Organic Alfalfa Sprouts Nearly identical to its legume relative clover in flavor, appearance, and days to harvest, alfalfa is one of the sweetest and mildest sprouts. Like clover in both subtlety and sweetness, alfalfa also boasts a kick of chlorophyll that adds a welcomed touch of wheatgrass. Alfalfa is clean and fragrant, not requiring much rinsing before serving. Alfalfa sprouts are best harvested 2-3" long or at about 5-6 days with or without chlorophyll production. About Organic Alfalfa Sprout Seeds Medicago sativa, or more commonly known as alfalfa, is an ancient legume and one of the most diverse crops ever domesticated. First believed to have been cultivated in Iran thousands of years ago, alfalfa seeds have been traditionally sown exclusively as a foraging crop for livestock feed and fodder. Only recently though has non-GMO organic alfalfa been celebrated as a beneficial cover crop legume, grown among commercial farms and home gardens for its ability to replenish depleted soils with atmospheric nitrogen, then tilled back into the soil as an all-natural and organic "green manure" garden mulch. And even more recently has the alfalfa seed been elevated for worldwide human consumption. It may have taken millennia, but organic alfalfa seeds have worked their way out of the farm and field and into many international gourmet delicacies. http://springsofeden.myshopify.com/products/alfalfa-organic-heirloom-non-gmo-b250

MOUNTAIN MORADO CORN, Organic, Heirloom, Non-Gmo B10 Amazing black corn that even grows in the north! A deep purple and super anthocyanin-rich flour corn from Montana! This variety is a northern adapted homage to the legendary Maiz Morado/Kulli corn from Peru. Ed Shultz, the accomplished and passionate open pollinated corn breeder who spent 30 years selecting this dark purple variety, explains that Mountain Morado is was actually selected from Painted Mountain corn. Count: 10 Full Sun Sprouts in 7-10 Days Seed Depth: 1-2" Ideal Temperature: 75-80 F Plant Spacing: 12" Frost Hardy: No Perfect for those northern gardeners who have always dreamed of growing dark purple corn to brew into the popular healthful corn drink, chicha morada. This slightly variable, Montana landrace is well adapted to super long summer days and cool nights, however it will also perform well (and mature even earlier) in shorter day length areas. Short, stocky plants produce an average of 2 ears per plant, with 8 row, long slender cobs. Can also be milled into a supremely soft, delicious flour. Growing Tips: Direct sow into the richest soil available 1-2 weeks before last spring frost. Succession planting prolongs harvest. Planting in blocks improves pollination. http://springsofeden.myshopify.com/products/mountain-morado-corn-organic-heirloom-non-gmo-b10

BUENA MULATA HOTPEPPER, Organic, Heirloom, Non-Gmo B10 A very rare, extremely productive, and stunning hot pepper is being offered exclusively through Baker Creek! William Woys Weaver introduced us to this pepper from his grandfather's collection. His grandfather received the pepper from African-American folk artist Horace Pippin in 1944. A chameleon-like pepper that undergoes color changes during ripening; violet to pinkish-flesh color, then orange changing to brown, and eventually to a deep red. The long, round pods reach 6 to 7 inches in length and undergo a unique flavor change as they ripen, with the reds being sweeter and meatier than the violet. The stunning plants also make wonderful potted specimens. Count: 10 8-12 hours of Sun Sprouts in 7-10 Days Ideal Temperature: 70-95 Degrees F Seed Depth: 1/4" Plant Spacing: 14-18" Frost Hardy: No Capsicum annuum http://springsofeden.myshopify.com/products/buena-mulata-hotpepper-organic-heirloom-non-gmo-b10

KALUGERITSA hot pepper, Organic, Heirloom, Non-Gmo B5 A beautiful and delicious pepper from eastern North Macedonia. This Jalapeno-level hot pepper was brought to us by Steve Neumann, who also introduced the phenomenal and uniquely etched Rheza pepper and the Ajvarksi pepper. Steve collected the seeds for this variety while visiting the village of Kalugeritsa. This super rare pepper is not known outside of the region, and he was unable to find a variety name; therefore the pepper bears the name of the little town in which it is grown. We love this pretty little pointed pepper. The flavor is full bodied and is one of the best peppers for roasting! 8-12 hours of Sun Sprouts in 7-10 Days Ideal Temperature: 70-95 Degrees F Seed Depth: 1/4" Plant Spacing: 14-18" Frost Hardy: No Capsicum annuum Growing Tips: Start indoors in bright light 8-12 weeks before last frost date. Heat mat helps to warm soil and speed germination. Peppers often appreciate a bit of afternoon shade during the hottest summer weather. http://springsofeden.myshopify.com/products/kalugeritsa-hot-pepper-organic-heirloom-non-gmo-b5
