Corn Cockle - Milas Rose Queen
The Corn Cockle Milas Rose Queen, 'Agrostemma githago', is a fragile looking but very sturdy plant with delicate pink and white flowers that will delight you all summer. The Corn Cockle looks dramatic when planted in mass and is very tolerant of a wide range of conditions. It will tolerate wind and less than perfect soils. It is the ideal flower for continuous summer/fall show of color. Milas Rose Queen is used as an annual hedge, in the back of a flower border, and for bunches of cut flowers. All parts of this plant are poisonous. Plant in the spring after the last average frost date in cold climates. In warm climates seed in the fall or winter for early spring bloom. ... additional info
Corn - Honey & Cream If we had to choose two vegetables that were much better home grown than bought from a store, corn and tomatoes would be our choice. Honey and Cream allows gardeners with small plots or gardeners in northern climates to enjoy this wonderful flavor. It is great fresh and Honey and Cream can be canned or frozen. In the deep south, this can be as early as February. Successive plantings in two week intervals will produce a much longer cropping season. Corn prefers a deep, rich well drained soil. Harvest the ears when the husks are dark green and the silks are brown but not brittle. Corn is usually ready 3 weeks after silks appear. |
