HAVE: [Have] Gem corn, Arugula & Mustard Greens [Need] greens
Comments (3)I have Swiss Chard "Lucullus," Spinach "Bloomsdale Longstanding," and Kale "Dwarf Blue Curled Vates," plus a variety of other seeds and herbs for trade. I'm interested in your corn, arugula and mustard greens. Just let me know if you would like to trade, either here or via e-mail. Thanks....See MoreOh dear - green and white still doesn't cut the mustard
Comments (8)After reading your post, the first thing that comes to mind is Polemonium/Jacob's Ladder--it blooms sort of lavender in late Spring here (mid-to-late May; it's blooming now here) with delicate, almost fern-like foliage. Japanese painted fern doesn't bloom but is a nice textural contrast to other shade lovers. I like the interesting foliage of Virginia knotweed/Polygonum virginianum for contrast--it has an interesting rusty-red chevron on each variegated green & white leaf, altho' it's a late-season, part shade bloomer with insignificant cranberry-red flowers. Trycirtis hirta/toad lily is completely different from many other shade-loving perennials and has interesting blooms--the ones I've planted in full shade are thriving & multiplying each year. They offer very late season white blooms with purple speckles--the bees LOVE them. Alchemilla mollis/Lady's mantle & Heuchera/Coral Bells 'Purple Palace' put on a season-long show in both my part sun & full shade beds every year without requiring any attention from me, making them two of the most carefree perennials in my garden. In my experience, neither are bothered by pests. The Heuchera offers a decided contrast in foliage color while the Lady's Mantle offers a foliage contrast in shape and texture that is pleasing season-long. I won't discount Brunnera macrophylla 'Jack Frost' for tiny, true blue flowers in early spring but it's been my experience the plants are prey to some sort of disease or infestation that turns a certain portion of the foliage dark after they bloom and IMO renders them less attractive as a result (which, thankfully, the surrounding hostas soon conceal)....See Morewhat variety of mustard greens for sarson ka saag?
Comments (1)Sarson ka Saag and makkai(corn) roti :). Yes it is a bit to late. November or December should do fine. If you like Sarsoon then the season is right for edible pursalane (kulfaa saag). http://www.google.co.uk/#gs_rn=23&gs_ri=psy-ab&cp=15&gs_id=1&xhr=t&q=edible+purslane&es_nrs=true&pf=p&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&oq=edible+purslane&gs_l=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.49967636,d.Yms&fp=3d546cbd47dc99d4...See MoreMidwinter Mustard Greens
Comments (2)It is more or less normal. Some years mustard greens will make it through the entire winter, though you will see that as the number of daylight hours lengthen in late winter/early spring, they begin to bolt. Normally, most varieties of mustard greens can tolerate temperatures down into the low- to mid-20s or even lower, as long as they have had time to become hardened off. So, a night-time low of 20 or 22 degrees might damage or kill them in November if it is the first time those particular plants have been exposed to a sub-freezing temperature, but it might not bother them nearly as much (or at all) if it happens in January or February after they've already experienced cold temps in the low-30s or mid- through upper-20s. Cold-tolerance is different for each variety. Southern Curled and Red Giant usually can tolerate temps only down to the mid-20s, but Tatsoi can tolerate low temps down to roughly 10-15 degrees, and some of the varieties from Even Star Farm like Tender Tat, Even Star and New Star often tolerate cold temperatures down to roughly 6 to 12 degrees if they've been able to gradually harden-off to ever-increasingly cold temperatures over the course of the winter. When the plants are on the south side of a structure, they sometimes can tolerate temps that go lower than they generally can withstand out in a more open area. As cold-hardy as the mustard greens are, they generally are not the most cold-tolerant vegetable. The most cold-hardy vegetables include brussels sprouts, collard greens, spinach, parsley, kale and carrots (those that are already growing are cold hardy, but carrot seed itself doesn't germinate well in very cold soil).
