500+ Bird's Foot Trefoil Seeds-Lotus Corniculatus-G051 Lotus corniculatus is a non-bloating perennial legume which has the ability to reseed itself under proper management. Stems are smaller in diameter and less rigid than alfalfa stems and can grow to a height of 12 to 30 inches depending on whether it is a prostrate or erect variety. Flowers are bright yellow (4 to 8 per stem) with each flower producing one seed pod. Seed pods radiate from the flower stalk, resembling a bird’s foot. Leaves are compound with five oval leaflets. Birdsfoot trefoil has a well developed tap root with numerous lateral branches in the upper 15 inches of soil Also known as "broadleaf birdsfoot trefoil," this long-lived, deep-rooted perennial forage legume is used for pasture, hay and silage. It grows on many different soil types, from sandy loams to clays. It accepts poorly-drained, droughty, infertile, acid or mildly alkaline soils. Most productive on fertile, well-drained soils with a pH of 6.2-6.5 or higher. The nutritive value equals that of alfalfa, and there is no apparent problem from bloat, even where pure stands are grazed. Birdsfoot trefoil should be seeded with grasses for optimum forage production such as: timothy, smooth brome, orchard grass, tall fescue, and perennial ryegrass. Also attracts deer, turkey, and rabbit. It is a perennial legume that does not cause bloat in grazing ruminant animals. It is highly adapted to grow in a range of challenging conditions including infertile soils, soils with high acidity or poor drainage, and poorly prepared seed beds. Forage: Birdsfoot trefoil is used as a high quality, non-bloating legume for pastures, hay and stock-piling. Erosion control: Birdsfoot trefoil is often used for mine reclamation and other sites with marginal soils. Wildlife: Birdsfoot trefoil is used in wildlife mixes and is an excellent food source for deer.

This All-America Selections Winner simply astonishes with 30 or more pods on plants so well-branched and compact you can grow them in containers. And the flavor—let's just say that nothing about this pea is small other than the size of the plant. Patio Pride Organic Pea reaches just 18 to 24 inches high (when trained on a support) and spreads no wider than a foot, so you can grow it easily in an 8-inch pot or larger. A great companion to cool-season flowering plants in your container garden, it sets several dozen uniform 2- to 3-inch pods. Bright green and very succulent, the pods contain delicious seeds. Eat them right off the vine, lightly steam them, and use them in all your recipes. And Patio Pride extends your season. Being earlier than most, it gets you harvesting sooner than ever, and keeps going later than many others in both spring and fall. This is a quick crop you can plant successively for months of fresh eating. The growing is easy with Patio Pride. It loves sunshine to partial shade, and finishes in just over a month. As a legume, it is a nitrogen fixer in the soil, so be sure to chop up the plant after harvest and work it into your garden. Next season's veggie patch will be all the richer for it. Easy to grow, peas love cold weather, so plant as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. If you want to plant Patio Pride Organic Pea in the garden, sow 3 to 4 seeds per 6-inch patch of soil, burying them about 1 to 1½ inches deep.

Start another container 2 weeks later, continuing all spring, and then repeat in late summer for fall harvest. Pkt is 1 oz. (approx. 80 seeds)

The Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum) is an annual plant from the Papaveraceae family. It has been cultivated for a very long time for food, medicine, recreational drugs and as an ornamental plant. An archeological site in Northamptonshire (England) revealed eight opium poppy seeds dating from the early Neolithic period which is 5,800 to 5,600 years ago and suggests that this plant was farmed as a crop. Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum) flower The opium poppy is an introduced annual and a garden escapee in the British Isles. It is usually grown as an ornamental and often found on waste ground. There are many other common names for this plant including common poppy, garden poppy, florists poppy and chessbolls. Papaver somniferum is generally regarded as being descended from P. setigerum which is a slightly smaller wild plant from the western Mediterranean. They are very similar and some regard both plants as being the same species. Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum) stems, leaves and capsules or pods Growing methods The opium poppy is an annual and it grows, flowers, fruits and seeds in the same year. The fruit is also the seed pod which ripens over a period of weeks and then opens little holes in the top where it releases many tiny seeds. Plants are short lived and are normally finished by the summer. Seeds are fairly easy to obtain from plant catalogues but the seed sold for culinary use will also often germinate. There are many varieties and cultivars and they have different physical characteristics. Plants will readily self seed so if seeds haven't been collected, they will naturally disperse and come up again next year anyway. To grow from seed, sow in the spring in situ about 30cms apart or just scatter for a more natural look. They can also be grown in pots and then planted out to their final position. Seeds can also be sown in late summer or autumn for overwintering. The Opium Poppy likes a sunny position and well drained soil. Flowers are produced from June to August and have fragile petals similar to tissue paper. They are usually pink, purple, white or red in colour and mature plants stand just under a metre in height. Seeds of P. somniferum tend to follow the shade of the flower. White seeds come from pale coloured flowers and dark seeds from dark coloured flowers. As the plants grow, the flower capsules or pods hang in a drooped manner and the pale green ruffled leaves hug the main stem. The opium poppy is susceptable to insect infestations and fungal diseases such as downy mildew and powdery mildew. Plants are very sturdy and don't usually need staking but high winds and heavy rain can destroy the petals which are very delicate. To harvest the seeds wait for a few days of dry weather and for the seed head to dry out to a hard papery shell. The seeds will rattle inside if they are ready. Raw edible parts The seeds and young leaves are edible raw but read the Issues section below before imbibing. Normally the black dried seeds are the parts eaten in the UK. They are popularly used to flavour sweet and savoury dishes such as breads, pastries and cakes. They can also be pressed to make an edible oil. The leaves can also be eaten raw but before the flower pods have formed. They are crunchy and very similar to a lettuce leaf. There is no bitterness and when we can get 'em, we love 'em. However, be sure to eat them before the pods form. An infusion can be made from the plant (usually the pods) but alkaloids present will be transferred to the tea. A search online will provide more information on the uses and dangers of this type of tea. Issues Much has been written about the opium poppy and its uses. Be aware it is a powerful plant containing addictive substances so should be used with a certain amount of caution. The potency of individual plants will vary with each species. It has been reported that plants grown in cooler climates like that of the British Isles do not contain high levels of these substances. How much is high and are these levels dangerous? We have no idea and probably not providing the plants are used in a sensible manner. For example, eating the seeds is probably fine, making a daily infusion of Poppy Pod tea is probably not! Photo: TeunSpaans (Wikimedia Commons), 2006. Morphine is the principal alkaloid of the opium poppy and the raw material for producing heroin. Other alkaloids include codeine, thebaine, papaverine and noscapine. These substances can be found in the white latex of the plant. It is usually collected from the green immature pods of the plant by making incisions down the side. It can be seen oozing from the flesh of the plant - see photo. However, the whole mature plant (except the seed) contains this latex and so can also be processed to obtain these substances. The whole mature plant (minus the seed) after harvest is called poppy straw. The seeds do not contain alkaloids. However, they can become contaminated as a result of insect damage to the capsule, or poor harvesting practices. Poppy seeds are, therefore, not always alkaloid-free. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA Journal, 2011) states that: "Consumption of foods containing poppy seeds that are contaminated with opium alkaloids can lead to adverse health effects and to detectable contents of free morphine in blood as well as measurable concentrations in urine, sufficient to interfere with drug abuse testing." This might occur if single large portions of seeds or seeds that are raw and unground are consumed. The EFSA goes on to say that: "Food processing may decrease the alkaloid content by up to about 90 %. The most effective methods include washing, soaking and heat treatments, as well as grinding and combinations of these treatments." That deals with the seed. Now on to the leaves. When is the best time to pick the leaves without subjecting oneself to a dreadful morphine addiction? One study (Morariu et Caulet, 2011) showed the level of morphine in the leaves of all genotypes began at the 43rd day after germination. The graphs in the study show no morphine in the leaves before this. As the pods formed morphine was detected in both roots and leaves. At this point the leaves contained the higher amount. Roots showed small amounts of morphine levels 23 days after germination. This corresponds with general advice which is to pick young leaves and before the flower pods form. This is what we do. However, we have taken older leaves too (but only the odd one and not very often) and there were no obvious physical affects from this. This is probably because the plants we have are very low in alkaloids. However, to be on the safe side we do generally refrain from eating older leaves. Is it illegal to grow this plant? It is not illegal to grow the opium poppy in the UK but it is illegal to process these plants into drugs. No surprise there then. It may, however, be illegal to grow them in other countries so always check first.

Le Gombo / Bamia °Voulez-vous savoir de quel type de plante s’agit-il ?°PrésentationLe gombo, également connu sous le nom de bamia, est une plante relativement grande qui fleurit avec des jolies fleurs jaunes à coeur rouge foncé. Il est originaire d'Afrique et est connu pour ses fruits qui deviennent rapidement durs et fibreux. Il est donc important de récolter les fruits tôt et régulièrement pour continuer à obtenir une production de fruits. Le goût du gombo rappelle celui de l'asperge et de l'aubergine, et il est délicieux lorsqu'il est accompagné de riz et de tomates coupées.Variétés et caractéristiques du Gombo/BamiaIl existe plusieurs espèces de gombo, chacune ayant des caractéristiques légèrement différentes. Certaines espèces sont plus résistantes aux maladies, tandis que d'autres peuvent avoir des fruits plus gros ou une croissance plus rapide. Les variétés les plus connues sont : la variété "Clemson Spineless" qui est reconnue pour sa facilité de culture et sa productivité. Il y a aussi la variété "Perkins Long Pod" qui est populaire pour ses longues et fines tiges, et enfin la variété "Burgundy" réputée par sa couleur rouge foncé des fruits. Il est donc important de choisir la bonne espèce pour s'adapter à votre climat et à vos besoins de jardinage.Comment entreprendre sa plantation et son entretien ?Il est également important de noter que le gombo est une plante facile à cultiver et peut être cultivé soit en plein air, soit en serre. Notre équipe a testé et approuve qu’il préfère un sol bien drainé et riche en matière organique, ainsi qu'un emplacement en plein soleil. Il est impératif de maintenir un bon niveau d'humidité pour éviter que les fruits ne deviennent fibreux. De temps à autres, les experts Willemse vous recommandent de fertiliser régulièrement avec un engrais riche en azote pour favoriser la croissance des fruits.Une fois votre plantation en marche, vous aurez la tâche de surveiller les maladies et les ravageurs potentiels, tels que les pucerons et les chenilles, qui peuvent causer des dommages aux feuilles et aux fruits. Il existe des méthodes organiques et chimiques pour contrôler ces problèmes, mais il est préférable de les éviter en maintenant un bon niveau d'hygiène de jardin et en évitant de cultiver les plantes malades à proximité des plantes saines.Vous ne le savez peut-être pas, mais le gombo est une plante vivace ;, c'est-à-dire qu'elle revientchaque année à partir des mêmes racines. Il est fort possible de cultiver cette plante pendant plusieurs années dans le même emplacement, en veillant à ne pas endommager les racines lors de la transplantation. Mais ce n’est pas tout, c’est tout à fait réalisable aussi de semer les graines de gombo directement dans le sol pour une récolte plus tardive dans la saison.Petit plusLe saviez-vous que le gombo est également bénéfique pour votre santé?

Thistle seeds and empty seed-sockets. This is one I was pleased with before I even got it out of the camera.

Days to Maturity: 57 Park's Whopper Bush Bean is an easy-to-pick variety that holds pods off the soil, this stringless bush bean, also called snap or bunch beans, sets pea-shaped buds that blossom into small "perfect" flowers followed by straight, smooth medium-green pods. This seed vegetable is also known as a legume. This herbaceous tender annual is a mid-season determinate variety, growing in a low, self-supporting bush that stands erect and has a nice structure, suitable for containers. The large plant grows vigorously and produces a good yield that holds well, ensuring a large, one-time crop. For a continual, season-long harvest, succession plant every two weeks until mid-August. Easy to grow and trouble free, even for the new gardener, this shallow-rooted plant prefers a sunny location with moist, fertile, organically rich, well-drained loams but performs well in low fertility soils and has proven consistent performance over various locations and growing conditions. Park's Whopper Bush Bean has a high resistance to bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) and an intermediate resistance to Aphanomyces root and hypocotyl rot rust (Pss). Self-pollinating, it will bear fruit without any pollen from other varieties. A warm-season vegetable, sensitive to cold temperatures and frost, it should be direct sown into warm spring soil after all danger of frost has passed. Protect plants if temperatures are expected to dip below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Mulching helps to moderate soil temperature and to maintain soil moisture. Row covers offer added protection from heavy frost.

This heirloom shelling pea keeps its cool, but can also take the heat! Wando is an excellent choice for warm climates or for late planting in any climate. It keeps producing better than other peas as days get warmer. Given a little shade and sufficient water, you may still be harvesting peas in July and August! Sow this variety just like you would any other pea. They are cold tolerant for early planting just like other pea varieties, but they are also more heat tolerant. Introduced in 1943, Wando Peas are a cross between Laxton's Progress (an English heirloom pea) and Perfection (a New England heirloom). The 18"-30" plants have numerous 3" long pods with 7-8 medium sized peas in each. They are excellent for eating raw, steaming, or freezing. This packet plants: One 14-foot row.
