Corn, Glass Gem, Flint (100 days) Zea mays This is a flint corn used for making flour or as a popping corn. Unlike sweet corn, it is not edible right off the cob.  It was likely bred as an ornamental variety - for obvious reasons. Many of these exquisite ears are simply too beautiful to eat.  Like many heirloom treasures, Glass Gem corn has a name, a place, and a story. Its origin traces back to Carl Barnes, a part-Cherokee farmer living in Oklahoma.  Carl Barnes’ (pictured in his corn field) kaleidoscopic corn has become a beacon - and perhaps an inspiring symbol - for the global seed-saving revival.  Barnes had an uncanny knack for corn breeding. More specifically, he excelled at selecting and saving seed from those cobs that exhibited vivid, translucent colors. Like other flint corn it is excellent for polenta and hominy. HEIRLOOM.

Maiz Concho Flint (110-120 days) Zea mays We are grateful to share this beautiful heirloom from a nice crop grown by Dan Hobbs at Pueblo Seed in Colorado. Corn is strongly adapted to latitude, so when we grew this SW corn in Oregon it grew very tall (10-12’) and produced ears late. So, unless you are closer to 35 degrees Latitude, then allow for a very long season for this strain to mature. Maize de Concho is included in the Slow Food Ark of Taste collection because it has been used for preparing Chicos, a method of cooking involving harvest- ing at the green (milk) stage and prepared via an ancient technique through roasting in an earthen oven called an “Horno”. Chicos are still made by residents of the Upper Rio Grande and San Luis Valley where there is a revival of this endangered regional food in Acequia communities. This is an ancient flint type of corn that can periodically revert back to ancestral phenotypes indicative of its wild parentage from Teosinte. Ears are 9-14” long with pale, shell-white kernels. Can also be used for pozole, hominy, grits and polenta. Packet: One Ounce (≈ 110 seeds)  Quarter pound Half Pound ...

Corn, Martian Jewels (su) (80-90 days to fresh eating) Zea mays This is a highly unusual corn that is delicious and versatile. An original series of crosses made by Alan Kapuler (aka Mushroom) of Peace Seeds, Martian Jewels combines a Hopi flour corn with an eclectic blend of normal sugary (su) and sugary enhanced (se) varieties. Such a broad genetic base gives this corn an especially distinctive look with a wide range of uses. It can first be harvested as a sweet corn, although the window for optimum picking is small. The corn has a complex, rich flavor with a pleasant, mild sweetness. As the kernels enter the dough stage and become starchier, they can be used in chowder or corn pudding. Finally at full maturity the dry corn is made into bread, tortillas, or tamales. The 6' tall plants have dark green, purple-streaked leaves, deep purple stalks, husks and cobs, contrasted with pearly white kernels. 6' tall plants. Would probably make a good dye plant as seen in how it stained the hands in one of the picture here. Thanks to Steve and Moria Peters of Seed Revolution Now for these seeds and pictures!

Corn, Oregon Blue Maiz, Flour (75-110 days) Zea mays We have created a strain cross between 4 blue flour corns (Hopi Blue, Rio Grande Pueblo from NM, Chihuahua Blue, and Papa's Blue - which is a blue strain of the short season Painted Mountain.) The goal is to eventually develop a well adapted, reliable staple Maiz for the PNW and similar climates. It will exhibit some variability, however all will make good flour corn.  If you save seed, particularly if you do it for numerous cycles, then you are on your way to having your own Heirloom of tomorrow! Can be eaten as sweet corn when picked young and roasted, but is best known for making an excellent, sweet blue corn flour that has 30% higher protein levels (up to 14%) than dent corns. Plants are 5-8 ft. tall and bushy with many tillering side shoots.  Ears are a beautiful smooth silvery blue that are 8-10” long with usually 2, but up to 7 per stalk. There is still some variability in this strain with respect to kernel color and degree of kernel denting.  Expect ears to mature into shades of light gray/slate blue, to dark blue and purple.  Robust, drought-tolerant cultivar selected over many generations.  Makes excellent corn meal (as pictured).

Corn, Painted Mountain, Flour (80-100 days) Zea mays A very widely adapted and diverse flour corn developed over many decades by Dave Christensen in Montana. Plants are short stalked (4-5' tall) and produce one or two 7-8" long ears with thin cobs in a magnificient array of colors sourced from dozens of Native corns. Painted Mountain is a great choice to grow if you want to produce corn as a staple in a short season area. It is also able to produce in cooler summer area or gardens with lower light levels due to partial shading. A proven workhorse variety over many years. "Painted Mountain grows fast even in cold climates where other corns struggle to stay alive in early spring. It also pollinates and fills out ears during the searing heat of the dry Montana summer. It takes 90 days to mature as dry grain in my cold climate, about 2-4 weeks ahead of other '90 day' corn. Some people say Painted Mountain makes dry grain in only 70 days when taken to a warmer climate. I have received many good reports of yields around 50 bu/acre and often 60 or 70 bu/acre. This is very good for a very early corn in a stressed location. Keep in mind that the hybrid varieties often fail completely in  high stress locations. I have gotten good production reports from every part of the USA, and many parts os the world from Siberia to South Africa. Painted Mountain will grow food where many varieties will fail. Farmers find it a very efficient food souurce if grazed by livestock right off the field. The lack of woodiness in the stalks and soft starch of the grain give it a higher digestibility to ani,als than other corns. The highly nutricious grain promises to have many uses for humans and farm animals. The most beautiful, and one of the fastest maturing grain corns in the world for human food.  Bred to withstand cold temperatures, intense heat, drought and weather extremes, Painted Mtn is the answer to climate change and is feeding families and villages on marginal land on every continent in the world.  It is selling out so fast that some call it “The new currency”. The fine, soft flour starch makes it the easiest to prepare for any human food and makes the finest flour for corn bread.  It won first place for making the best tortillas. The high antioxidant properties of the colors is a boost for human health and healing.  Dave Christensen has spent 50 years developing it in the mountains of Montana from a diverse gene pool of about 80 strains of heirloom native corns, using only natural breeding. Short efficient 5' plants, long thin cobs over 7” long. It is open-pollinated so you can save your own seed and adapt it to your location. As the top selling ornamental corn it contains countless combinations of vivid colors you will not find anywhere else.  People frequently compare the excitement and surprise of pulling back the husks to of opening gifts at Christmas!    ...

Corn, Siskiyou Pink, Flour (85-95 days) Zea mays This variety is part of our ongoing effort to adapt and stabilize new landraces that are useful staple crops to the Pacific Northwest region. The first parent of this lovely flour corn is Hopi Purple which we originally obtained from the old Seeds of Change collection from El Guique, NM.  We crossed this with Magenta Parching corn which was originally bred by ​​breeders Carol Deppe and Alan Kapuler who developed this OP variety from 7 sweet corn strains and 7 Hopi strains obtained from seedsman John Kimmey. All the parent varieties look quite similar and enabled us to bulk up a wide breadth of diverse genetics and adaptation. The result is a robust plant with drought and short season adaptation that produces 2 ears of beautiful pastel pink flour corn with good milling qualities. Can also be used for hominy, posole, masa and the like. If planted farther apart it will tiller well, producing side shoots and smaller side ears given a long enough season. Packet (1/2 oz)  ...

Corn, Soltera Morado, Sweet (80-90 days) Zea Mays We received this gem from entomologist Munk Begin, who has been working for many years to improve a deep purple red, high anthocyanin sweet corn. Soltera Morado translates to "single purple". This is the result from crossing various red cob and white cob flour and sweet corn lines to develop a red sweet corn he calls "Blood Brothers". Then in 2002, he crossed Blood Brothers (male) with Martian Red, a sweet corn with purple cobs. Nearly every part of the plant contains streaks of deep purple red- the leaves, silks, tassels, stalks, cobs, husks, and pollen. Bergin says that it has at least 4 times and perhaps as much as 20 times the anthocyanins as blueberries. The ears are 6-8" long with deep dark blood red kernels.

Corn, Spero’s Orange Sweet (se) (90 days) Zea mays This is a work in progress breeding project that we are sharing an early release of if you are so curious that you don’t want to wait for the finished project which is still 2-3 years from now. Originally initiated by late great sweet corn breeder, Jonathan Spero as a cross between the white sweet corn, Tuxana (which he bred) and a variety of different orange flint corns with the goal of breeding an orange sweet corn. Jonathan Spero passed away in 2020 and left the various crosses with some notes that I am grateful to have inherited. We grew the different crosses in 2021 and then have laboriously hand sorted the wrinkled (indicative of sweet corn) kernels from the rounded (flint type) kernels. If you are excited to join in the experiment of participatory plant breeding then we welcome you to give feedback as we move towards this homage of a pioneering organic plant breeder! One Ounce (≈ 110 seeds) 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.

Turban, Hardneck Certified Organic This is a very pretty hardneck Turban type with flattened bulbs with purple striping from Basque Country in the in the autonomous province of Navarre (Nafarroa), Northern Spain. It has a quick heat when eaten raw, fading into an earthy finish. In the Basque language garlic is “baratxuri”. We originally obtained this variety via our local garlic wizard, Avram Drucker of Garlicana. Here in Southern Oregon, where they are some of the first to emerge and earliest to mature, the scapes seldom have time to coil before the plants are ready to harvest meaning that the lack of fiber in the leaves, makes them are ideal for garlic greens pesto and well suited for early greens production.  In addition to the northern latitudes, Basque, grows well in warmer climates and more southern latitudes. Turban garlics are highly adaptable to different climates having been found from tropical Southeast Asia to arid Central Asia, to the Pyrenees and surrounding lowlands.  Very easy to peel. Stores for near 7 months.  SORRY BUT NO INTERNATIONAL ORDERS ON GARLIC * Free Shipping does not apply to Garlic Orders * Remember to check out our Garlic Growing tips in order to make the most of your growing opportunity: https://www.siskiyouseeds.com/blogs/news/garlic-planting-tips...

Artichoke, Softneck Type Certified Organic We have been growing, selecting and perfecting this beautiful softneck variety for the over 20 years. This strain originated as 2 similar varieties: Lorz Italian & Applegate Red.  After years of sorting it emerged as something new and unique, deserving a new name!  This strain is from the Artichoke subgroup of garlic, which possess the general characteristics of a soft flexible neck, purple tint/blush to the outer wrappers and clove wrappers.  Whereas some artichoke types can have up to 30 cloves, our strain usually has 8-15 cloves per bulb.  This means less small inner cloves that are more difficult to deal with in the kitchen!  Of all of our varieties, this is the easiest to grow to large size.  It can attain a diameter of 3 1/2 inches! Flavor:  Full bodied and more mild than the hardnecks. Storage ability:  Siskiyou Purple will easily keep until April or May in a cool dark garage or shed. Cloves per pound: 45 - or about 5 or 6 heads/pound. Planting: One pound plants 25 row feet at one clove every 6".  SORRY BUT NO INTERNATIONAL ORDERS ON GARLIC * Free Shipping does not apply to Garlic Orders * Check out our Garlic Growing tips in order to make the most of your growing opportunity: https://www.siskiyouseeds.com/blogs/news/garlic-planting-tips...
