Hey everyone. With the gardening season quickly coming upon us, I was thinking about companion planting. We did a little bit of this last year, but I didn't apply it very thoroughly in our garden layout. We planted our tomatoes and peppers close together, as I heard nightshade plants do fine...

I want to grow some blue corn in the future and these two varieties caught my eye. I was originally planning to do the Hopi Turquoise but was shocked at the price ($5 for 30 seeds). I plan to buy only one pack of seeds from one of these so I'm trying to decide which one makes the most sense. How...

I want to grow corn for both me, my family, and are poultry but I'm having trouble find decent prices on trustworthy heirloom corn seeds. I want heirloom so I can seed save for hopefully years to come. So far the best place I can find is rareseeds.com. They charge $3.50 - $5 for 75 seeds...
