Pepper - Bell - Ori
Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. The Pepper Bell Ori, 'Capsicum annuum (Hybrid)', will set fruit in adverse weather conditions and that makes it an easy to grow garden variety. Pinch off about 50% of the flowers. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Blossom pruning will improve fruit size. The peppers are large, well-lobed, and semi-long. The Ori turns directly from green to a bright yellow. Pinch off early flowers to encourage plant growth. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. Pepper seeds need very warm soil temperatures to germinate. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. Ori produces a large number of thick-walled, big, bright yellow peppers under adverse conditions. ... additional information
Corn - Argent - white It is unsurpassed in eating quality. Argent sweet corn adapts well to cool soils and has a high tolerance ot Stewart's Wilt and Northern Corn Leaf Blight. Harvest the ears when the husks are dark green and the silks are brown but not brittle. Corn prefers a deep, rich well drained soil. Argent is a white sweet corn with superb sweet, creamy flavor and excellent cultivation traits. In the deep south, this can be as early as February. Successive plantings in two week intervals will produce a much longer cropping season. The Corn Sweet Argent (White), 'Zea mays var rugosa (Hybrid)', is the best tasting white sweet corn there is. Plant in the spring, a week or two after the last spring frost or when the soil is warm. The ears will be about 8 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. |
