FREE....SOIL TEST to check for pH (bring 2 cups of soil from 4" - 6" below top soil [where your root system is], place in a zip lock bag with your name and telephone number on it. One of our agronomist will test your soil and give a recommendation whether you need a lime application.
Soil may be sent to a lab for a complete analysis which would give you a recommendation for lime and fertilizer. There is a $10 fee.

5 weeks you will have green onions. If left to fully mature you will have dry
onions in late July or early August. 02180008

ONION GOLDEN SHALLOT 10 CT Shallots are often thought to be another variety of onion, but they are actually a species of their own. They grow in clusters, where separate bulbs are attached at the base and by loose skins. The shallot has a tapered shape and a fine-textured, coppery skin, which differentiates it from onions. 02180081

POTATO CHIEFTAIN 50 LB
Midseason tablestock. Tubers round to oblong, shallow eyes, attractive red skin.
Yield > Norland, specific gravity similar to Norland. Moderately resistant to
scab 02180201
POTATO KENNEBEC 50 LB This variety is widely adapted to production in many parts of the world and at one time was the primary variety used in potato chip production. It was also important in French fry processing. On the tablestock market, its reputation for good culinary quality is well known. This variety produces a high yield of large oblong tubers with thin smooth white skin and white flesh. Specific gravity ranges from 1.075 to 1.100. The Kennebec is excellent for baking, boiling, chipping and frying. It is a very popular exporting variety to all parts of the world 02180211
POTATO COBBLER 50 LB Early, tablestock. Excellent boiling and baking. Plants are large with white flowers. Tubers are brick-shaped with deep eyes, buff colored, often netted skin, white flesh. Subject to misshapen tubers under poor growing conditions 02180231
POTATO PONTIAC 50 LB Mid-season tablestock, high yielding, and medium specific gravity. Tubers round to oblong, medium deep eyes, dark red skin, sometimes netted, white flesh, drought tolerant. Susceptible to potato virus Y, bruising and scab. 02180271
POTATO NORLANDS 50 LB The Dark Red Norland is a widely adapted, early maturing variety. Tubers are excellent for boiling and frying. The oblong shape of the tuber is smooth, flattened, and medium red in color. 02180291
POTATO YUKON GOLD 50 LB Mid-season tablestock with yellow flesh. High yield and high specific gravity. Tubers oval, shallow pink eyes, yellowish-buff skin, and light yellow flesh. Resistant to potato virus A, and potato leaf roll virus. Susceptible to scab. 02180421
POTATO RUSSET BURBANK 50LB This is a late maturing variety that requires a 140 to 150 day growing season to produce maximum yields and quality. Yields are moderately high and tubers are large , long and cylindrical or slightly flattened with russeted skin and white flesh. The Russet Burbank is the standard for excellent baking and processing quality. It is a good long-term storage potato for tablestock and processing. Specific gravity ranges from 1.075 to 1.105. 02180501

Hayman - Eastern Shore White Sweet Potatoes Beauregard (100 days to harvest, light purple skin, dark orange flesh )
Sweet potatoes are started from plants called "slips." Transplant the slips as soon as the soil warms up after the last frost to allow the maximal warm-weather growing period. Always buy plants grown from certified disease-free roots. To grow your own plants, place several sweet potato roots about one inch apart in a hotbed and cover with two inches of sand or light soil. Add another one inch of sand when the shoots begin to appear. Keep the soil in the bed moist throughout the sprouting period, but never allow it to become waterlogged. Keep soil temperature between 70° and 80°F. Plants are ready to pull in about 6 weeks (when they are rooted and 6 to 8 inches tall). You can allow roots to continue possibly producing additional flushes of plants if more are desired. The sprouts (slips) are planted directly in the garden from the sprout bed.
Set the plants 12 to 18 inches apart, preferably on a wide, raised ridge about 8 inches high. A ridge not only dries better in the spring but also warms earlier than an unridged area. Black plastic mulch can be a good way to speed early season growth by capturing and storing more of the sun’s heat in the soil under the plastic cover. Because the vines of spreading varieties need a great deal of space, allow at least 3 to 4 feet between rows.
After early cultivation (which is not necessary with black plastic), sweet potatoes need minimal care to keep down weeds. Once the vines spread to cover the ground, little weeding is required. Irrigate if an extended drought occurs. Do not water during the last 3 to 4 weeks before harvest to protect the developing roots.
Early roots may be "robbed," starting in late summer, by digging into the side of the ridge and carefully removing some developing roots while leaving the plant in place. Dig the main crop of sweet potatoes around the time of the first frost in the fall. Use a spading fork or stout shovel and be careful not to bruise, cut or otherwise damage the roots. Dig below the level of the ridge and gradually move closer toward the plants, removing soil until the fat roots are exposed. Carefully dig under these roots to gauge the depth to dig as you go down the row. Proper curing can be a problem in the cool fall season. Ideally, the roots should be allowed to dry on the ground for 2 to 3 hours, then placed in a warm room for curing (85°F and 85 percent humidity (if possible) for 10 to 14 days and then stored in a cool (55°F) location. Sweet potatoes should be handled as little as possible to avoid scuffing and bruising. In case of frost, cut the vines from the roots immediately to prevent decay spreading from the vines to the roots and dig sweet potatoes as soon as possible. Cold soil temperatures quickly lessen the roots’ ability to keep in storage. Do not allow roots drying in the garden to be frosted because they are quickly ruined. For best quality, use the potatoes as soon as possible after they have been stored. |
