<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><em>Beefsteak Tomato Seeds MORTGAGE LIFTER</em></strong></span></h2> <h3><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</strong></span></h3> <p>An outstanding Beefsteak Heritage variety, delivering large meaty fruits of excellent texture and flavour with few seeds.  Indeterminate. The name was given by a 1930's farmer whose bumper crop of this variety enabled him to save his farm from repossession</p> <p> </p> <p>The Mortgage Lifter tomato was developed in the early 1930's in Logan, West Virginia by a radiator repairman, M.C. "Radiator Charlie" Byles. Without any experience in breeding, he made a successful cross of four of the largest tomatoes he could find - German Johnson, Beefsteak, an Italian variety, and an English variety. Radiator Charlie sold the first seedlings of his new tomato in the 1940's for one dollar each to customers who drove up to 200 miles for his famous plants that bore tasty tomatoes averaging two and a half pounds. With these sales, Charlie managed to pay off his $6,000 mortgage in only six years, and so the tomato was named Mortgage Lifter.</p> <p> </p> <p>Sow in spring under glass or on a windowsill 1/16 inch deep.  Germination takes around 6-14 days at 65-75F.</p> <p>Transplant the seedlings when large enough to handle into 3 inch pots.</p> <p>Grow on under cooler conditions and when about 8 inches tall, either plant in their growing position in the greenhouse or gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions and plant out 18 inches apart in a warm and sunny spot in moist, fertile well drained soil and keep watered.</p> <h2>What's the difference between "indeterminate" and "determinate" tomatoes?</h2> <h2>Determinate tomatoes, or "bush" tomatoes</h2> <p>are varieties that grow to a compact height (generally 3 - 4'). Determinates stop growing when fruit sets on the top bud. All the tomatoes from the plant ripen at approximately the same time (usually over period of 1- 2 weeks). They require a limited amount of staking for support and are perfectly suited for container planting.</p> <h2>Indeterminate tomatoes</h2> <p>will grow and produce fruit until killed by frost. They can reach heights of up to 12 feet although 6 feet is normal.  Indeterminates will bloom, set new fruit and ripen fruit all at the same time throughout the season. They require substantial staking for support and benefit from being constrained to a central growing stem.</p> <p> </p>

<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><strong>Trinidad Scorpion Red and Yellow Seeds 1,5 mill. Scoville Units</strong></em></span></h2> <h3><span style="color:#ff0000;">Price for Package of 5 seeds.</span></h3> <div>Trinidad Scorpion chilli pepper is one serious chilli with more than a just sting in its tail – it’s an explosion! It is a bumpy shaped red chilli and a number of the pods develope the ‘tail’ hence the name of ‘scorpion’. Red Trindad Scorpion pods have a thin skin &amp; measure 5-7.5cm long by 3cm wide. It is a tall variety that can reach 1m but it needs a long season to fruit so needs to be sown indoors very early in the season.</div> <div> </div> <div>Tricky to grow &amp; germinate – needs very specific temps but when successful it is worth the effort &amp; wait.</div> <div>The Trinidad Scorpion is one of the Hottest Peppers in the World. Trinidad is a large Island northeast of Venezuela. The people of Trinidad love cooking with hot chiles. The Trinidad Scorpion though is not usually found in markets. In fact it is so hot many locals never use it for cooking. It's primary use is for military grade mace. It is also used in marine paint to keep barnacles from growing on the bottoms of boats. But the Trinidad Scorpion is still a favorite of chile heads around the world. Not just because it has the heat of a Bhut Jolokia. But it also has a great flavor as well. Just keep in mind you only need a small amount in whatever you cook. In my opinion it is hotter than the Bhut Jolokia. At least when I tasted it I had more pain than I felt with the Bhut Jolokia pepper.</div>

The dark green leaves are delightfully minty-sweet and productive. Best if grown during cool weather. Very cold hardy.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em;">45 Days</span></div> </div> <div>Corn Salad is a wonderfully tasty salad crop for early spring and late fall.Harvest the small heads of oval, dark green leaves when 4" across.</div> <div><strong>Wikipedia:</strong></div> <div>Valerianella locusta is a small dicot annual plant of the family Valerianaceae. It is an edible salad green with a characteristic nutty flavor, dark green color, and soft texture. Common names include corn salad (or cornsalad), lamb's lettuce, mâche, fetticus, feldsalat, nut lettuce, field salad and rapunzel. In restaurants that feature French cooking, this salad green may be called doucette or raiponce, as an alternative to mâche, by which it is best known.</div> <div>Description</div> <div>Corn salad, also known as mâche or lamb's lettuce, grows in a low rosette with spatulate leaves up to 15.2 cm long. It is a hardy plant that grows to zone 5, and in mild climates it is grown as a winter green. In warm conditions it tends to bolt to seed.</div> <div>Corn salad grows wild in parts of Europe, northern Africa and western Asia. In Europe and Asia it is a common weed in cultivated land and waste spaces. In North America it has escaped cultivation and become naturalized on both the eastern and western seaboards.</div> <div>As a cultivated crop, it is a specialty of the region around Nantes, France, which is the primary source for mâche in Europe.</div> <div>History</div> <div>Corn salad was originally foraged by European peasants until Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinie, royal gardener of King Louis XIV, introduced it to the world. It has been eaten in Britain for centuries and appears in John Gerard's Herbal of 1597. It was grown commercially in London from the late 18th or early 19th century and appeared on markets as a winter vegetable, however, it only became commercially available there in the 1980s. American president Thomas Jefferson cultivated mâche at his home, Monticello, in Virginia in the early 1800's.</div> <div>The common name corn salad refers to the fact that it often grows as a weed in wheat fields. (The European term for staple grain is "corn".) The Brothers Grimm's tale Rapunzel may have taken its name from this plant.</div> <div>Nutrition</div> <div>Like other formerly foraged greens, corn salad has many nutrients, including three times as much vitamin C as lettuce, beta-carotene, B6, B9, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids. It is best if gathered before flowers appear.</div><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>
