Pollinator Mix, Early Flowering / Cool Season Pollinators are a key cornerstone of a thriving, healthy ecosystem in your garden.  Not only do they help to pollinate the fruiting vegetables, but often the adult stage of many beneficial insects like Ladybugs and Green Lacewings that feed upon nectar (while their larvae stage is insectivorous).  Plant a multi-species Garden Ecology! This mix includes a variety of species that are easy to direct sow and can be planted early in the spring and will flower relatively quickly. It is also able to self seed and somewhat naturalize. Species included are: Cilantro, Mustards, Arugula, Phacelia, Buckwheat, Cosmos, and Calendula. Provides color, nectar, and pollen over a long flowering period. Grows to about 18-36" high. (Exact mix may vary). SSF From BeeGirl: * 20% of the sale of Siskiyou Seeds' pollinator mixes will go to support our mission to educate and inspire communities to conserve bees, their flowers, and our food.   If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!  We decided to partner up with a high-quality local, organic seed grower, with an impeccable reputation.  Don Tipping, founding farmer of Siskiyou Seeds​, was up to the task of building the best mix possible for all seasons, climates, and a wide variety of bee species.  In 2017, we planted, and monitored, 29 different flower varieties.  In 2018, we have planted even more, and are looking forward to continuing to provide Siskiyou Seeds with some valuable data.  Follow the project on Facebook and Instagram with the hashtag #siskiyouseedsforbees for updates on our research and bee-friendly flower planting and care tips!    www.beegirl.org Packet: 5 g Bulk:ounce...

Pollinator Mix, Annual Late Season   Pollinators are a key cornerstone of a thriving, healthy ecosystem in your garden.  Not only do they help to pollinate the fruiting vegetables, but often the adult stage of many beneficial insects like Ladybugs and Green Lacewings that feed upon nectar (while their larvae stage is insectivorous).  Plant a multi-species Garden Ecology! This mix is intended to plant later in the season such as sunflowers, zinnia, tithonia, safflower, cosmos, marigolds, cilantro, coreopsis, and buckwheat. It tends to grow fairly tall (up to 6' plus), so consider this when deciding where to plant. This provides a late nectar flow, which is particularly helpful to pollinators and beneficial insects in the arid west where there is little flowering in the un-irrigated wild lands. (Exact mix may vary)....

Pollinator Mix, Perennial Pollinators are a key cornerstone of a thriving, healthy ecosystem in your garden.  Not only do they help to pollinate the fruiting vegetables, but often the adult stage of many beneficial insects like Ladybugs and Green Lacewings that feed upon nectar (while their larvae stage is insectivorous). Plant a multi-species Garden Ecology! This mix includes the following species: Hyssop, Licorice Mint, Parsnip (self seeding biennial) Poppies (not a perennial but they naturalize and self-seed very well). This mix is a good choice if you have an area that you are able to prepare the soil well and allow it to become established over the years. It will provide a steady stream of nectar and pollen over the entire season- feeding and sheltering pollinators. This mix requires diligence and patience to establish, as many of the seeds are quite small. (Exact mix may vary). SSF Packet 4g Bulk:1oz...

Three Sisters Patch Seed Bundle This is a collection of 8 packets: 1 Sweet corn, 2 flour corn, 2 pole beans, 2 winter squash,and 1 flower that is the perfect starting point to growing your own 3 Sisters staple crop garden.  8 packets (our choice of the mix): ($6.50 savings) See Below for more background information: Three Sisters Companion Planting The three Sisters approach to growing corn, beans, and squash together as a polyculture developed in the arid Southwestern USA. In the sandy soils there, the early indigenous farmers would poke a hole with a planting stick 8-12” deep and pour the seeds of corn, pole beans and winter squash all into the same hole to encourage them to root where there was residual moisture. The corn, being a monocot would push up first and the beans and squash later, ensuring that they wouldn’t topple the corn. The Corn in clumps spaced 6-8 feet apart while the beans climbed its stalks and the squash trailed along the ground providing a living mulch. For most of us, if we were to plant these seeds a foot deep, the seeds would all rot, so we must adapt this strategy to our garden conditions. I suggest planting the corn 4-8 seeds in hills spaced 4-6 feet apart. Once it is 4” tall plant pole beans & winter squash next to the corn plants. This gives the corn a head start so it isn’t strangled by vining bean plants. The pole beans weave the corn stalks together, which helps to avoid the stalks from falling over (lodging). Three sisters is done with dry corn (flourtype), dry beans(shelling), and winter squash because the planting develops into such a jungle if done well, that you would not want to be traipsing through there to check if your sweet corn, snap peas or summer squash was ready.  Rather you simply allow it to flourish over the summer and harvest it all in the fall when mature. Many blessings on your gardening endeavors! CORN - Zea mays Growing Tips:  Plant corn by direct seeding 1-2” deep after soil has warmed to at least 70° (Triple Play, Painted Hills Sweet & Hooker’s are specifically adapted to cool soil planting so can be planted earlier in the season).  You can also transplant corn for earlier crops, but you have to baby them a bit.  Plant Spacing:  Seed 6-10 per foot and thin to 1 plant per 8-12”, rows should be 24-36” apart.  Hill method: Plant 5-10 seeds 1-2” deep in a mound, which should be 4-5 feet apart.  Grow squash in-between and plant pole beans in mound once corn has emerged.  Works better with flour corn and popcorn as it becomes somewhat jungle-like to harvest sweet corn with this method. Pests: Protect young seedlings from bird predation with floating row covers.  A common novice gardener problem is to assume that their corn didn’t come up; when in actuality birds such as jays, robins and crows were digging and pulling up the young sprouts.  Scarecrows, floating eye balloons and reflective tape are somewhat effective.  Dogs are good, too.  Corn earworms (which are actually the caterpillar stage of a moth) can be controlled by spraying Bt. (Dipel™ is a brand name of OMRI certified organic control).  Or just bear with their minor inconvenience by chopping the tips off of infected ears. Harvest:  Sweet corn when it’s in the “milk” stage, which you can determine by finding an ear whose silks have dried, gently peeling back some leaves while the ear is still on the plant, then nicking a kernel and looking for milky liquid to ooze out.  Clear fluid indicates that it is too early, no liquid – you’re too late, save for seed or flour corn.  Raccoons can devastate a corn crop if they find it appealing.  Some folks put a battery powered radio in their patch to provide a menacing noise deterrent to keep coons at bay. Diseases:  We have not experienced any significant diseases here in Oregon, but my counsel would be ample fertility from well-matured compost and foliar sprays of compost tea, fish emulsion and kelp when plants are young if you do experience yellowing or die back.
