If you are new to gardening, try fresh spinach in the garden, the buttery flavor will win you over. Spinach is also very nutritious with lots of Vitamin A, C, and iron and is low in calories. The Bloomsdale has excellent flavor and produces large quantities of tasty leaves. Bloomsdale is an old, dependable, open pollinated variety and it is also good in containers. Successive palnting can be made every 3 weeks for continuous harvest. Harvest individual leaves from outer edges as they become big enough to use or cut the whole plant 1 inch above the base and new leaves will grow. Plant in early spring, 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost date or when soil temperatures are above 35 degrees. The Spinach Bloomsdale, 'Spinacia oleracea', is an old favorite amongst gardeners. Spinach prefers light, fertile, moist, and well drained soil. ... more information

Corn - Honey & Cream Corn is usually ready 3 weeks after silks appear. Corn prefers a deep, rich well drained soil. It is great fresh and Honey and Cream can be canned or frozen. If we had to choose two vegetables that were much better home grown than bought from a store, corn and tomatoes would be our choice. In the deep south, this can be as early as February. The plant has 6 to 7 inch ears with 10 to 12 rows of very tender kernels. Plant in the spring, a week or two after the last spring frost or when the soil is warm. Honey and Cream allows gardeners with small plots or gardeners in northern climates to enjoy this wonderful flavor. The Corn Honey & Cream, 'Zea mays var rugosa', is excellent for small gardens and short growing seasons.
