 Star Route Farms
Warren Weber, along with manager Doug
Gallagher, make Star Route Farms' produce a
coveted staple among the many restaurants and
farmers’ markets in the San Francisco Bay area
and beyond. Star Route is the oldest (1974)
continuously certified organic operation in
California, owing to Warren’s perseverance despite
his many early skeptics. Today Warren is an
active participant in and supporter of local and
regional educational and environmental initiatives,
demonstrating his values through his practices.
Here at Star Route Farms we believe that the avail-
ability of organically grown seeds is essential for the
evolution and long term success of organic farming
systems. We really appreciate the fact that Seeds of
Change goes the extra mile to produce professional
quality, consistently dependable organic seeds—it’s
part of their mission, and one that we share and sup-
port as we all do our part to create a more sustainable
future. —Warren Weber

Rancho Purisima Farms
Matt Little, owner and manager of
Rancho Purisima Farms, has been
raising certified organic seed for Seeds
of Change since 2002. Matt’s access to
several unique microclimates throughout
southern and central California have
allowed him to produce a wide range of
crops including carrots, lettuce, onions,
peppers, squash, and numerous herbs and
flowers.
Matt is constantly looking at ways to
improve crop quality with improved
fertility management, pest control and
by investing in equipment to harvest and
clean organic seed. He was instrumental
this year with our push to produce virus-
free organic lettuce seed on a larger scale.
He is also working on our flower seed
program with ongoing selection and stock
seed development.

I’ve been growing yacon since 2006.
What a great food! The tubers keep
well in the refrigerator unless they
are cracked or cut open. I love to
kraut them, as well as use in stews
and salads. The velvety leaves are
even nice in a vase. They’re easy to
propagate from the crown. Keeping
three crowns gives me many plants
to give to friends, as well as plenty
for my garden. I’ve learned to crowd
the plants, every foot or two, for even
greater harvests. This wet year gave
me a five gallon bucket from five
plants in ordinary soil.

Heirloom Apples
Malus spp. Robust two-year-old trees on MM111 rootstock are approxi-
mately 4 ft. tall and are shipped bare-root. They should bear fruit in
2–4 years and grow 14–16 feet. For best pollination and maximum
production, it is advisable to grow three different apple varieties in
close proximity to each other, although two will suffice providing they
both have viable pollen. Please note that “Triploids” are particularly
vigorous trees but have sterile pollen, so they cannot pollinate other
apple varieties. The ideal planting time is in early spring as soon as
your ground can be worked. All varieties are heirlooms, semi-dwarf
and certified organic.

Home Food Production
The satisfaction of grazing on fresh, delicious vegetables right out
of your own garden is one of life’s great pleasures. The benefits are
immeasurable, and not only lead to improved physical health, but also
enhance our mental and spiritual well-being.
You Can Do It
The good news is that growing your own food is not that difficult.
Some physical effort is required, yet it can energize you. Primarily,
what is needed to get started is a small amount of land that
has access to sunlight and good water, and a whole bunch of
enthusiasm.
What You Can Achieve
By taking personal control of at least some of your food needs you
can: produce nourishing, flavorful food that can’t be matched
(except perhaps from a local farmers’ market); reduce food costs;
store food for winter; involve the whole family, especially children,
who will carry this skill into their adult lives; inspire friends and
neighbors to garden; beautify the land around you; and take pride
in knowing that this work (and play) is part of the solution.
Getting Started
For beginners, it is best to start by gardening a small area and
expanding gradually. A 10 ft. x 10 ft. site (100 sq. ft.) can produce a
surprising amount of food. A small plot will enable you to become
more knowledgeable without a big investment of time or energy. The
following basic steps will get you started: 1) Identify an optimal site
that has at least 11 hours of sunlight a day during the summer. 2)
Create well-prepared garden beds, a key component of all future suc-
cess. The books recommended below cover this topic thoroughly. 3)
Set up a watering system. Unless you are blessed with reliable rainfall
all season, you’ll need to make sure your plants get enough water.
Sprinklers, drip or flood irrigation, or a simple hose will do.
Crops to Grow
If you have a small space, (100 sq. ft. or less) you should absolutely
grow only what you really enjoy eating. With a slightly larger area,
say 200–500 sq. ft., consider what is hardest to obtain or most
expensive in the grocery store. For example, fresh green beans or a
vine-ripened tomato. Most vegetables are excellent sources of all or
most of the major vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, and some
like spinach and broccoli even contain significant levels of amino
acids (protein). Therefore, you really can’t go wrong regarding the
nutritional value of what you are growing.
When larger areas of land are available, you can add crops that pro-
vide substantial amounts of protein and calories. Among the best
are potatoes, dry beans, and the cereal grains (wheat, rye, barley,
triticale, oats, millet). Potatoes yield the greatest amount of calories
per unit of land area. Dry beans, however, have more concentrated
protein, provide additional nitrogen back to the soil and can be
easily stored for later consumption. The cereal grains, in addition to
their food value, produce straw for mulch, animal bedding, and as
a source of carbon for soil organisms and the compost pile. Other
excellent caloric and protein crops include dry peas, fava beans, soy-
beans, dry corn, winter squash, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, parsnips,
rutabagas, amaranth, and quinoa.
12 w w w.seedsofchange.com
Don’t forget about the extremely valuable hardy perennial foods,
as they offer a reliable harvest year after year once established.
Asparagus, rhubarb, strawberry, raspberry, and Jerusalem artichoke
are some of the best for temperate climates.
Time to Plant
Now that you have decided what to grow, start planting!
• In early spring sow hardy plant varieties directly outside in the
new beds.
• Plant tender crops indoors in seedling trays.
• For a more in-depth discussion of seed starting see the Seeds of
Change eNewsletters 26 and 27 on our website.
• Also, see the agronomic information throughout this catalog and
the planting guide on pages 50–51.
• Supplies for seed starting can be found on pages 10–11.
• If you decide to purchase seedlings rather than starting your own,
check out our selection of vegetable and herb seedlings on pages 6–9.
• For information on planting throughout the summer and fall (suc-
cession planting) see eNewsletters 58 and 68 on our website.
Other Essential Aspects of Home Gardening
Crop Care
During the growing season, cultural activities including watering,
weeding, pest control, and soil cultivation must be carried out to
assure a successful harvest. Interplanting habitat-enhancing flowers
will help control many insect pests. See the Cover Crop and Flower
sections and page 72 for specific varieties of insectary plants.
Harvesting and Preserving
Putting food up for the winter is almost a lost art, but if done prop-
erly can keep us fed through the scarce winter months. Canning,
drying, pickling, freezing, or storage in a root cellar are all proven
methods of food preservation. See eNewsletter 38 on our website
about storage techniques. Another way to maximize the harvest is
with season-extension techniques during the cooler months of the
year. See Four Season Growing on page 92 to learn more.

Space Challenged Gardening
No Space Is Too Small
If you have the urge to grow a garden but don’t think you have
enough room, you may want to think again. Even in the smallest
of spaces all you really need is sunshine and a few pots. In a narrow
yard many kinds of plants can be trained to grow vertically with
proper support. An urban balcony, patio, or deck can become a
productive potager with the imaginative use of containers.
Vertical Gardening
Many common vegetables and flowers are perfectly suited for
growing upward due to their vining growth habit. All they need
is something to cling to. You may be surprised to learn that many
of your favorite vegetables yield even better when trellised and are
easier to harvest.
Build a Support Structure
Constructing a trellis for your plants to climb upon is easy and only
requires a few simple materials. Create a framework of wood, metal
or PVC pipe to provide the basic structure. Attach string or netting
to the top and bottom. In many cases an existing fence may be
used. Look for materials readily at hand. Bamboo, willow, and alder
saplings are traditional support materials used in various cultures.
Be creative!
Prepare the Beds
Careful preparation of the soil is crucial in this type of intensive
gardening, since plants are growing very close together. Double dig-
ging, described in How To Grow More Vegetables by John Jeavons,
allows roots to penetrate deeply to extract sufficient nutrients. The
best tool for this job is a heavy-duty digging fork (see page 97).
Boost fertility with a rich, well-balanced compost.
Crops to Grow Vertically
Vegetable Crops
Tomatoes Spaced as close as 18 inches apart, all side branches of
tomato climb as much as 20 feet high!
Pole/Runner Beans Some climb over 10 feet. They yield much longer than
bush beans and have superior flavor and crispness.
Cucumbers All varieties except bush types
Gourds All varieties
Melons All varieties. Extra care must be taken when growing
“slip-type” melons, as the fruit separates from the stem
when ripe. Place thick layer of straw on the ground to
prevent bruising when ripe fruit falls, or provide a sling.
Squash All summer and most winter squash varieties except
large types like Hubbard
Peas Sugar Snap and Oregon Giant are best for trellising.
Flowers
Morning Glories Prolific vines reach well over 10 feet.
Nasturtiums Climb up corn or sunflowers without competing

Information
Container Gardening
The other solution for space challenged gardeners is growing plants
in pots and hanging baskets. A wooden container such as the Roll-
ing Balcony Box (page 11) works great. The bigger the plant the
bigger the pot you’ll need. When trellises are added to containers
the possibilities becomes endless. Practicing a few important tech-
niques will result in greater success:
• Provide Proper Potting Soil & Drainage A pot filled only with
garden soil can quickly become compacted and will not allow water
to flow freely. A mixture of vermiculite, perlite, coconut coir and
a small amount of soil is a typical medium that assures adequate
drainage and yet has the ability to hold water for good plant growth.
• The Deeper the Better Pots need to be at least 10 inches deep,
and preferably much deeper to support the extensive root systems of
healthy plants.
• Fertilize Often Plants growing in pots are susceptible to becom-
ing root-bound and can run out of nutrients, making it necessary to
fertilize with compost or other organic fertilizers more often than
in a garden bed.
• Interplant Vegetables, Flowers & Herbs For beauty and pro-
ductivity sow a wide range of plants together, combining different
colors, textures, growth habits and harvest times.
Plants Suitable for Containers
Virtually all herbaceous (non-woody) plants can be grown in con-
tainers. A few, most notably corn and watermelons, are not practi-
cal because they require a large area to yield a reasonable amount of
food. Potatoes would need very large, deep containers to be produc-
tive. Others, such as pole beans, cucumbers, and squash need to be
trellised (see above). Plants having a compact growth habit, such
as many annual herbs and salad greens are the best when space is
extremely limited.

GROWING CONDITIONS Choose a permanent location for this long-
lived perennial. Prefers full sun but can accept partial shade. Rich fer-
tilization is important with a well drained weed-free soil (pH 6.5–7.5)
necessary for long term success. Widely adaptable.
PLANTING Be sure soil has warmed to 50°F before planting. Create a
furrow 7–10" deep (shallow end for clay soils). Place crowns 12–14"
apart in the furrow (closer for Sweet Purple), spreading out roots for
better long-term penetration. Fill furrow loosely to the original soil
level. Drainage is important in early growth. Allow spears to grow
without harvesting the first year to nourish roots for next year’s pro-
duction. Drought tolerant, but maintain ground moisture throughout
the first year. Cut ferns the following spring before new growth re-
sumes. Cut ferns in fall each year after they die back naturally. Apply
compost or aged manure each fall or spring. Planting rates can be
found in our Planting Guide.
HARVEST/STORAGE In second year, harvest spears for two weeks in
mid-spring. Refrigerate immediately at 38–40°F to keep up to two
weeks. In third year, harvest 4–6 weeks; in all subsequent years,
harvesting can go for 6–8 weeks. When most spears have diameters
less than 3 / 8" allow new spears to emerge, fern out and create a
canopy.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Chewing damage can indicate as-
paragus beetles, whereupon apply pyrethrins. Keep weeds under
control.
Ordering & Shipping

GROWING CONDITIONS Prefers full sun, deep, rich, loose, well-drained
soil (pH 6.5–7.0), and cool weather conditions over a long period.
PLANTING Sow indoors 8 weeks before last frost, germinating at 70–
80°F. If winters average above 15°F, seeds can be direct seeded in fall
into lightly moistened soil. Seeding depths, spacing, and planting rates
can be found in our Planting Guide.
HARVEST/STORAGE Cut edible flower buds (chokes) 1–11 /2" below their
base before they begin to open. Cut all buds of suitable size, then
remove all stems at the base to encourage new growth. Remove field
heat (take below 40°F) from chokes as quickly as possible, then place
into humid, 33–35°F environment to maintain quality and extend stor-

GROWING CONDITIONS All Brassica oleracea, napus and rapa crops
are relatively cold hardy, and perform best in cool, moist and moderate
peratures for broccoli and cauliflower may result in premature head
formation, the presence of leaves in heads, or development of loose
heads. None of the crops in this group thrive when daytime tempera-
tures exceed 85°F.
PLANTING All of these crops may be direct seeded or transplanted.
Direct-seed when outdoor temperatures are above 50°F (optimum 60–
65°F). Use our Planting Guide to determine seeding depth, spacing and
rates. Transplant 5–6 week old seedlings. Harden off for 5–7 days prior
to transplanting. Maintain greenhouse temperatures above 45°F night
and below 85°F day.
HARVEST/STORAGE Harvest broccoli and cauliflower heads and side
shoots when buds are still small and tightly closed. Harvest cabbage,
Chinese cabbage and Brussels sprouts when heads are relatively young
and firm. Harvest kohlrabi when root/stem is 4–5" in diameter. Harvest
collards and kale continuously starting at the bottom of the plant while
the leaves are still young and healthy. If necessary, store all brassicas
at 32°F and 90–95% RH.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Practice 2–4 year crop rotations be-
tween all Brassicaceae species. Maintain a pH at or above 7.2 for sup-
pression of Club Root (Plasmodiophora brassicae). Plant disease-free
seed to avoid seed borne pathogens such as Black Rot (Xanthomonas
campestris) and Black Leg (Phoma lingam). Encourage beneficial insect
activity for suppression of aphids, and control aphid outbreaks with
insecticidal soap. Control cabbage worms and loopers with Bt, avail-
is typically not as heavy as on spring crops. Floating row covers used
from the day of planting will protect from heavy flea beetle damage
on spring crops.

GROWING CONDITIONS Carrots are best planted in deep, fertile, well
drained, loamy soils with a pH of 5.5–7.0. Avoid excessively wet and
heavy soils. Maintain surface soil moisture during seedling emergence.
PLANTING Always direct seed carrots. Seed from early spring through
summer, sowing fall carrots 80–90 days prior to the first fall frost date.
Use our Planting Guide to determine seeding depth, spacing and rates.
Seedlings are not typically thinned, but for best fresh market quality,
thin to 1–3" between roots.
HARVEST/STORAGE To prepare carrots for market, wash and hydro-cool
the roots thoroughly. For extended storage wash carefully, avoiding in-
jury or store unwashed and topped at 32–34°F and 98–100% RH.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Three to four year crop rotations are
recommended to avoid Alternaria Leaf Blight, Cercospora Leaf Blight,
Downy Mildew, and White Mold. Avoid overwatering to prevent damp-
ing-off of seedlings and root diseases for more mature carrots. Mini-
mize physical injury of roots prior to storage to prevent post harvest
diseases. In areas with heavy carrot fly maggot pressure, floating row
covers will provide protection.

Celery/Celeriac Agronomic s
GROWING CONDITIONS Celery and celeriac must be kept consistently
well fertilized and watered throughout the growing season to produce
stalks and roots of size and mild taste.
PLANTING Start seeds (6 seeds/inch, ⅛" deep) 10–12 weeks before
transplanting, keeping soil moist and temperature between 70–75°F.
(60–70°F). Transfer seedlings into 1½" cells when 2 true leaves are
visible, transplanting outdoors from there when outside weather has
warmed and settled. Transplant 6–8" apart, keeping soil well moist-
ened. NOTE: Exposure of young seedlings to temps below 55°F over
a lengthy time period can cause premature bolting. Harden plants by
reducing water, NOT temperature, for 7–10 days prior to transplant.
HARVEST/STORAGE Remove field heat by dunking entire plant into
cold water, storing in near-freezing temps at high humidity. Harvest the
celeriac roots at 4–5" in diameter, storing as you would carrots.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Rotate year-to-year to reduce leaf
blight pressure. Maintain adequate soil calcium and moisture throughout
season to prevent ‘Black Heart.’ Control aphids to reduce or eliminate
Celery Mosaic pressure, using soaps, hot pepper wax or pyrethrins.

Corn Agronomic s
GROWING CONDITIONS Corn may be grown in a wide range of soil
types with a pH of 5.5–7.0, although poorly drained soils should be
avoided. It is a warm season crop sensitive to cool soil conditions.
Since it is wind pollinated and the pollen may travel one mile or more,
it must be isolated from genetically modified varieties to ensure crop
integrity.
PLANTING Always grow different types of corn (su/se sweet corn, sh2
super sweet corn, and popcorn and starch types) separated from each
other by an isolation distance of at least 100'. Cross pollination makes
kernels starchy and tough. Begin direct seeding when soil temperatures
reach 60°F. Seed approximately every two weeks for continuous har-
vests. Plant in blocks for optimum pollination. Use our Planting Guide
on pages 50–51 to determine seeding depth, spacing and rates.
HARVEST/STORAGE Normal sugary (su) varieties are best marketed
and consumed fresh. Sugary enhanced (se) varieties will retain their
sweetness for several days after picking. Harvest ears when kernels
reach 70–75% moisture or release milky liquid when punctured with a
fingernail. If storage is necessary, hold at 32° F and 95–98% RH.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Practice crop rotations. Destroy or in-
corporate crop residue to control leaf blights. Stewart's Wilt, a serious
bacterial disease, is spread by the flea beetle and can be difficult to
manage in areas of heavy flea beetle pressure. Use Bacillus thuringien-
sis (Bt) for suppression of corn ear worms or cut off damaged portion
of ears prior to sale.

Cucumber Agronomic s
GROWING CONDITIONS Cucumbers are a frost sensitive, warm season
crop, but since they mature quickly they can be grown in regions with
short summers. They grow best on fertile, light soils with a pH of
5.8–6.7. Drip irrigation is preferable. Asian varieties must be trellised
to produce straight fruit.
PLANTING Cucumbers are almost always direct seeded. Plant when soil
temperatures reach 65–70°F and all danger of frost has passed. Use our
Planting Guide on pages 50–51 for seeding depth, spacing and rates.
HARVEST/STORAGE Harvest regularly and remove old fruit to encour-
age continuous fruit set. Cucumbers are best marketed fresh, but may
be stored at 50–55°F and 90–95% RH. Chilling damage may occur at
temperatures below 45°F and yellowing will quicken at higher tem-
peratures. Avoid contact with ethylene gas.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Avoid overhead irrigation and mulch
with biodegradable plastic to reduce incidence of Powdery and Downy
Mildew. Varieties resistant to these fungal diseases and to Cucumber
Mosaic Virus (CMV) are also available; check variety descriptions.
Practice crop rotations. Cover young seedlings with floating row cover
to prevent cucumber beetle damage and the Bacterial Wilt they can
vector, but uncover plants during flowering for pollination.

GROWING CONDITIONS Eggplant is a cold sensitive, heat loving crop
and requires a long, warm growing season for successful production.
It is best grown on moderately fertile, sandy-loam soils with a pH of
6–6.8. It is often grown with the use of plastic mulch or plastic covered
hoops to increase soil temperatures. Drip irrigation is recommended.
PLANTING Eggplant is most commonly transplanted. Start seeds 9–10
weeks prior to planting. Optimum greenhouse temperatures are 64–
70°F at night and 70–81°F daytime. Use our Planting Guide on page
40–41 to determine seeding depth, spacing and rates.
HARVEST/STORAGE Harvest when fruits have developed color, but are
still firm to the touch. When harvested late, bitterness might develop
around the seeds. Market fresh or store at 50–55°F and 90–95% RH.
They are chill sensitive below 50°F and deteriorate readily at higher
temperatures.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Practice crop rotations with grass
cover crops, if possible, to reduce incidence of Verticillium Wilt, a soil-
borne fungal pathogen with a broad host range. Use drip irrigation
to minimize foliar diseases such as Anthracnose, and use covers to

GROWING CONDITIONS Garlic will grow in almost any rich, well drained
soil and full sun. Ideal pH is between 6.5 and 7.0, but will tolerate
pH outside that range. Softneck varieties are widely adapted, but the
hardneck cultivars do better in northern areas. Cut scapes that form on
hardneck varieties to encourage larger bulb development.
PLANTING Plant in fall, 4–6 weeks before the ground freezes to allow
for good root development but no above ground growth. Mulch heavily
to reduce the risk of frost heaving. In milder areas planting can extend
into January, but bulbs will be smaller.
HARVEST/STORAGE Harvest when leaves are about 30% dried down,
usually late June to early July. Cure in a shaded, well ventilated area
for 3–8 weeks leaving the tops intact. Then trim the roots, cut off the
stalks and gently clean the remaining dirt from the bulbs. Store in a
cool, dark, well ventilated place at about 60–70°F and 65–70% RH. For
longer term storage keep at 32–34°F and 65–70% RH, but cloves will
begin sprouting shortly after removal.
WEED CONTROL Good weed control is essential for optimal garlic
yields. Some locations use a smother crop such as buckwheat, rye or
sorghum sudan grass prior to planting. Flame weeding can also work
well with garlic after the four-leaf stage.

Leek Agronomic s
GROWING CONDITIONS Leeks are widely adapted but grow best in cool,
Sherwood Falltime moderate climates. They are best grown on well drained, fertile soils
with good moisture retention and a pH of 6.5–7. Leeks have a shallow
root system and require consistent soil moisture. Hilling the shanks of
the leeks several times a season to blanch is a common practice.
PLANTING Seed early spring, about 4–6 weeks before average last
frost date or late summer for a fall planting. Use our Planting Guide
to determine seeding depth, spacing and rates. Transplant seedlings
10–12 week old or when pencil thick. Harden off for 1–2 weeks prior to
planting. Bury seedlings 4–6" deep to blanch shanks.
HARVEST/STORAGE Harvest when shanks reach a good marketable
size. Strip browned and dirty outer leaves and trim tops to prepare for
market. Smaller leeks can be harvested late summer, while hardy vari-
eties may be harvested throughout the winter or the following spring.
During warm weather, hydro-cool post-harvest prior to storage. Store
leeks at 32°F and 95–100% RH.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Practice crop rotations (3–4 years)
between all Alliaceae species to control White Rot and other diseases.
Cover with floating row covers in areas where onion maggot or thrips
are a problem. Nearby insectaries can also harbor beneficials to help
control pests as they become troublesome.

The popularity of our classic Mesclun Mix inspired us to create an exciting new assort-
ment of salad mixes to please every palate. We now offer lettuce mixes and greens
mixes separately for improved production performance. Brassicas (greens) germinate
about twice as fast as the slower growing lettuces, which is why the first flush of
Mesclun Mix is predominantly greens that must be cut to allow the lettuces to catch

tiny holes in the leaves. For these reasons, we recommend growing your lettuces and
greens separately. Flea beetles can be controlled by covering your greens with floating Mesclun Mix

HARVEST/STORAGE Harvest muskmelons at full slip for fresh market
sales, half slip for shipping. Honeydew melons are ripe when the stem
end is slightly springy and the skin begins to turn a creamy yellow.
Watermelons are difficult to determine ripeness, however, with experi-
ence the hollow sound emitted when thumping with your finger can
be a reliable technique. USDA grade 1 melons must have at least 8%
sugar content, but 10–14% is desirable for fresh market. Sugars will not
increase post-harvest. Best marketed fresh, but if storage is necessary,
melons may be held for short periods. Ideal holding temperatures are
32–34°F and 75% RH for muskmelons, and 36–40°F and 75–85% RH for
honeydews and watermelons.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Foliar diseases such as Powdery and
Downy Mildew, Alternaria Blight, and Anthracnose can be managed
by avoiding overhead irrigation, using mulches to minimize splash-
dispersal of spores, and practicing crop rotations for all species of
Cucurbitaceae. Floating row covers prior to flowering will protect from
cucumber beetle damage.

GROWING CONDITIONS Okra is a tropical plant, growing optimally in
hot climates. Well drained, fertile sandy or silt-loam soil (pH 6–7) is
best. Assure adequate soil moisture throughout the growing period.
PLANTING Direct seed or transplant into production area once soil tem-
peratures reach 70°F, more optimally 75–90°F. Enhance germination
by soaking seed overnight in water prior to planting. Use 4–5 week
seedlings for transplant. Seeding depths, spacing, and planting rates
can be found in our Planting Guide.
HARVEST/STORAGE Pick fruits when young and tender (about 5–6 days
after flowering). Handle with care as fruits are easily injured. Daily
harvests increase overall yields. Market fresh or store at 45–50°F, high
humidity. Do not chill below 45°F.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Employ regular crop rotations. Avoid
planting into cool soils. Remove stink bugs that cause wart-like growths
on pods.

Onion Agronomic s
GROWING CONDITIONS Onions are a hardy crop adapted to a wide
range of growing conditions. Day length is important in variety selec-
tion of bulbing onions. Growers north of 38 degrees should plant long
day varieties as early as possible to achieve full size prior to maturity.
Growers south of 38 degrees should plant short day or intermediate
day varieties as these need less day length to reach full size. See our
website for more information. Onions are an acid sensitive crop and
grow best on fertile, well drained soils with a pH of 6–6.8. Shallow
roots require light, frequent irrigations when plants are young. Stop
watering when bulbs have reached full size and the tops drop.
PLANTING Seed as soon as soil can be worked in spring. Usually
planted early spring, onions are sometimes late summer/early fall
planted and overwintered. Germination occurs when soil temperatures
are 50–85°F. Use our Planting Guide to determine seeding depth,
spacing, and rates. Transplanting: Start sowing mid-winter (Jan–Feb)
and transplant 10–12 week old seedlings as soon as the ground can
be worked. Harden off for two weeks prior to planting.
HARVEST/STORAGE Onions for use in the green stage are harvested
as soon as they attain edible size. For onions that are to be stored,
harvest when tops are between 80–100% broken down. Pull onions
and field dry in windrows if possible, or bring into covered area to
dry. Cure for 3–4 weeks ensuring that neck tissue is dry before top-
ping and storing. Store at 32–35°F and 70–75% RH. Warm onions
gradually when removing from storage to avoid sweating and mini-
mize deterioration.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Botr ytis Leaf Blight, Gray Mold,
Downy Mildew, and Purple Blotch are fungal diseases of onions that
can be challenging to control. Practice crop rotations (3–4 years) for
all Alliaceae species and thoroughly compost or turn under all crop
debris. Cover with floating row cover in areas with high onion maggot
or thrips pressure. Nearby insectaries can also harbor beneficials to

GROWING CONDITIONS
Peas are a cold hardy crop, tolerant of cool soils. Best planted on uni-
form, well drained soils with a pH above 6.5. Trellis fresh market peas
for optimum quality and production.
PLANTING
Direct seed in spring as soon as the soil can be worked. For a fall crop
seed about 60 days before fall frost. Optimum germination occurs at
50–75°F. Inoculate seed with Rhizobium bacteria prior to planting for
optimum N fertility. Peas are direct seeded for commercial production.
Use our Planting Guide to determine seed depth, spacing and rates.
HARVEST/STORAGE
Harvest fresh market peas frequently to encourage continuous produc-
tion. Cool immediately after harvest to avoid loss of sugar content.
Store at 32°F and 85–95% RH.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION
Peas are susceptible to various soilborne seed and seedling rots as
well as foliar diseases such as Ascochyta Blight and Powdery Mildew.
Avoid overhead irrigation, trellis and increase plant spacing to maxi-
mize airflow, practice crop rotations, and compost crop debris to man-
age these and other diseases. Heavy thrips pressure may be controlled
by use of row covers or OMRI-approved Spinosad sprays.

Pepper Agronomic s
GROWING CONDITIONS Peppers are a warm season crop and grow best
with warm nights, which increase flower and fruit set. Fruit set in many
sweet peppers can be low at temperatures over 90°F, but most chile
peppers are more heat tolerant. Production is best in fertile, well drained
soils with a pH of 6–6.8. Ensure adequate calcium availability and avoid
early JALaPEÑO Triunfo F-1 Ancho/Poblano SERRANO Hidalgo
wide fluctuations in moisture to prevent blossom end rot. Maintain
uniform soil moisture, especially after fruit set, but avoid waterlogging
roots. In cooler climates cover seedlings with floating row cover to in-
crease temperature, but remove prior to flowering. Isolate hot and sweet
peppers to prevent cross-pollination, which can result in heat in sweet
varieties. Hotter growing conditions increase heat in chile peppers.
PLANTING Peppers are most often transplanted due to slow and er-
ratic germination at low temperatures. Optimum germination occurs
at 70–85°F. Start in the greenhouse and plant out 6–8 week seedlings
when daytime temperatures reach 70°F and nighttime temperatures
are above 55°F. (Note: number of seeds/lb. can vary widely between
varieties). Use our Planting Guide to determine seed depth, spacing
and rates.
HARVEST/STORAGE Harvest when fruits are full grown, but still firm
and crisp. Optimum harvest stage depends on the needs of a particular
market, ranging from green to fully red ripe. Snap fruits off by hand, RING-O-FIRE cayenne Hungarian Hot Wax Española Improved
being careful not to break branches or damage plants. Harvest fre-
quently to maintain production. Market fresh or store at 45–50°F and
90–95% RH. Do not store below 42°F.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION The most serious disease of peppers
in many regions is Bacterial Leaf Spot (BLS), which can be seedborne
(all Seeds of Change pepper lots are tested for this pathogen). Preven-
tative use of Serenade, an OMRI-approved resistance-stimulator, has
been shown to have some efficacy against BLS. Incidence of this and
other diseases can be reduced by using drip irrigation and mulches,
ensuring adequate air flow through increased plant spacing, and stak-
ing or supporting plants, if necessary. Practice crop rotations with all
Solanaceae species to manage soilborne pathogens such as Fusarium
and Verticillium Wilts. Use floating row covers to prevent insect dam-

S13572 1 oz $10.00 S14938 1 lb $74.00 GROWING CONDITIONS Spinach demands a cool (52–60°F), mild cli-
mate for ideal growth. Best in fertile soils (pH of 6.2–7.0). Bolting is
triggered by lengthening days, greater temperatures or high plant
densities. Fast growing varieties prefer fall plantings, overwintered for
plantings. Sensitive to drought. Irrigate regularly but avoid splashing
on leaves which spreads disease and soils leaves.
PLANTING Direct seed ¾" deep in rows 12–18" apart. Plants should be
2–4" apart in final stand. Planting rates can be found in our Planting
Guide.
HARVEST/STORAGE Prior to bolting, cut whole plant just below the
crown, banding several plants together to make a bunch. Remove any
old, dirty, or yellowed leaves. For baby leaf harvest, cut at 2–4" long
bruising. Market immediately or store at 33°F, high humidity.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Downy Mildew is a devastating dis-
ease of spinach. Resistant varieties are the best management tactic.
Avoid overhead and/or late-afternoon irrigation, and increase plant
spacing to enhance air circulation. Also practice crop rotation. Cover
seedlings with floating row cover to prevent insect damage.

Str awberrie s from Crowns
GROWING CONDITIONS Strawberries grow well in a variety of fertile,
well drained soils with a pH of 5.0–7.0 in a sunny, weed-free location,
and receiving a steady supply of water.
PLANTING Plant root crowns as soon as the ground can be worked
in the spring, allowing plants to become well established before the
hot weather arrives. Place crowns even with soil surface making
sure not to cover them with soil while planting, hoeing, cultivating
or weeding.
HARVEST/STORAGE Begin harvesting first spring after planting, and
for 3–5 years thereafter. Fruit tastes best when picked fully ripe.
Do not wash berries until ready to eat. Place fruit in container with
ample space between each berry, cover with paper or cloth, and
refrigerate at 33–36° F.
Pest & Disease Prevention Strawberries are susceptible to Verti-
cillium Wilt and should not be planted in soil that has been planted
with members of the Solanaceae family in the last three years. Ro-
tate strawberry patch every 3–4 years to avoid pest buildup. Clean
up plant residue at the end of each season and remove from field.
GROWING CONDITIONS Tomatoes grow best with 80–90°F days and
60–70°F nights. Deep, infrequent watering encourages deep rooting
and higher quality fruit production. In areas with a high water table,
dry-farming may be possible. Moderately fertile, loam soils with a pH of
6.0–6.8 are best. Tomatoes prefer moderate to high levels of phospho-
rus and potassium, which should be amended with rock powders on
soils low in availability. Ensure adequate calcium levels and consistent
moisture to prevent blossom end rot. Plastic mulches are often used
to accelerate ripening and increase yield of tomatoes. Indeterminate
varieties should be staked, caged, or trellised to obtain optimum yields
and prevent disease.
PLANTING Tomatoes are best started in a greenhouse and transplanted.
Use our Planting Guide to determine seeding depth, spacing, and rates.
HARVEST/STORAGE For storage and shipping, harvest at the "breaker"
stage when the blossom end turns pink. For fresh market, harvest
when color develops but fruits are still firm. Market fresh or store for
7–10 days at 45–50°F and 80–90% RH. Hold mature-green tomatoes for
ripening up to five weeks at 60–70°F and 80–90% RH.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Tomatoes are susceptible to many dis-
eases, including Early Blight, Septoria Blight, Bacterial Spot, Speck and
Canker, and soilborne fungal diseases such as Verticillium and Fusarium
Wilt. High-quality, disease-free seed is critical. Management practices
include a minimum three year rotation with all Solanaceae species, the
use of drip irrigation and mulches, staking and orienting rows to in-
crease air circulation, and composting or turning under all crop debris.

S eeds of C h a nge
Soil Building
Soil: The Foundation of the Farm & Garden
The Soil Food Web
Leonardo da Vinci once mused, “We
know more about the movement of
celestial bodies than about the soil
underfoot.” Soil is more than an inert
medium for rooting plants. It is a com-
plex, vital ecosystem providing habitat
for innumerable species of microorgan-
isms and other invertebrate animals.
The term “soil food web” refers to the
interactions of these organisms, which
feed on one another, providing an
environment in which plants can grow
and prosper. Many cultures around the world have recognized for
millennia that soil is indeed living. A complete soil represents the
harmonious marriage of the inorganic (mineral) and the organic
(biological) worlds.
Put your hand in the soil. Look at it critically. Rub it between your
fingers. Good soil is absolutely teeming with life. A mere teaspoon
contains a billion invisible bacteria, several yards of equally invis-
ible fungi, several thousand protozoa, and dozens of nematodes.
One can observe earthworms, centipedes, springtails, ants, slugs,
ladybird beetle larvae, and much more when soil is kept free of
synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
Testing Your Soil
A good way to begin assessing your soil is by taking a soil test. Soil
tests provide a snapshot of basic physical, biological, and chemical
properties including soil texture, organic matter content, levels of
various nutrient elements, pH, and cation exchange capacity.
One of the most important aspects of nutrient management is
maintaining proper soil pH, which measures the degree of soil
acidity or alkalinity. Extremely acidic soils (below pH 5.0) and
alkaline soils (above pH 7.5) have a shortage or an excess of certain
nutrients that are detrimental to plants.
Call your local cooperative extension agent for more information
about soil testing services. These labs will provide recommenda-
tions for soil amendments and organic materials. It is important to
achieve the proper balance of nutrients for optimum plant health.
It is equally important to avoid the over-application of nutrients,
to reduce unnecessary costs and potential environmental problems.
Refer to Seeds of Change eNewsletters 20, 21, 22 and 23 on our
website for a basic overview of soil fertility and quality.
Sustaining a Healthy Soil
Reducing the need for soil amendments that come from outside the
farm and garden is an important goal of sustainable agriculture.
Three practices valuable for adding, maintaining, and recycling
nutrients are crop rotation, composting, and green manuring.
A crop rotation means growing different crops each year on the same
piece of land. A typical rotational sequence usually extends from 3 to
7 years before the same crops are repeated. The guiding principle of

healthy soil & thriving Landscape
Healthy soil, rich in organic matter and teeming with life, is essential for
a thriving farm or garden. There is no better, more sustainable way to
build, protect, and enrich soils than by cover cropping. Plants are grown
specifically to be turned back into the soil. The roots of these plants
exude vitamins, enzymes, and other vital compounds that nurture
essential bacteria, fungi, earthworms, and other soil dwelling organ-
isms. After being incorporated into the soil, the decomposing plant tops
provide additional essential elements, improving nutrient availability,
soil structure, drainage, water holding capacity, and overall soil health.
Cover crops also suppress weeds, host beneficial insects, sequester
atmospheric carbon, and beautify the landscape. Combine different
species to suit your needs and microclimate.
The National Organic Program (NOP) mandates that organic farmers
manage crop nutrients and soil fertility through the use of cover crops.

Legumes
This vast, critically significant family (Fabaceae) of plants Includes
beans, peas, soybeans, clover, alfalfa, vetch, peanut, locust, and
mesquite. These plants are distinguished by their ability to fix atmo-
spheric nitrogen into the soil because of a symbiotic relationship
with Rhizobium bacteria that live on the roots of legumes. Therefore,
legumes are vital in crop rotations for replenishing soils that are
depleted in nitrogen.

Cover Crops
Buckwheat hulless oats
Non-Legumes
Most of the important non-leguminous cover crops belong to the grass
(Poaceae) family. These cereal grasses (barley, millet, oats, sorghum, rye,
triticale) form dense, fibrous roots which greatly improve soil structure and
water-holding capacity, and hence complement the nitrogen contributions
from legumes. They also add significant quantities of organic matter.
Spring Barley
Hordeum vulgare 2–3' HA Spring planted, rapidly maturing, cereal
grain suppresses weeds, prevents erosion, scavenges nutrients, adds
organic matter and loosens topsoil. Incorporate before seed head
emergence for rapid decomposition in time for warm weather crops.

Insec tary Pl ants a
The flowers of certain plants attract beneficial insects, which in turn
prey on numerous insect pests, providing an effective natural biological
control without the use of pesticides. The primary beneficial insects
are ladybugs, green lacewings, syrphid flies, parasitic wasps, tachinid
flies and predatory wasps. The pests they control include aphids, mites,
thrips, scale, cabbage worms, stinkbugs, cutworms, Gypsy moths,
Japanese beetles, and numerous others. There are a few families of
plants that are particularly important for luring beneficial insects,
because of one or more of the following attributes: 1) easily accessible
nectar and pollen, 2) a large number of flowers, 3) a long bloom time.
The following are some of the best insectary plants. Look for the insec-

GROWING CONDITIONS Basil is a quick growing, frost sensitive, warm
season crop. It grows best in full sun with daytime temperatures from
80–90°F, and 60–75°F at night on well drained fertile, loamy soil with a pH
between 5.5 and 6.5. Maintain consistent soil moisture throughout growth.
Pinch off flower buds as they emerge to promote bushiness and leaf pro-
duction. Do not over fertilize as this will decrease the potency of the es-
sential oils. Air temperatures below 38°F will cause leaves to discolor.
PLANTING Basil can be either direct-seeded or transplanted. Use our
Planting Guide to determine seeding depth, spacing, and rates. For di-
rect seeding, plant in late spring when soil temperatures have reached
at least 70°F and all danger of frost has passed.
HARVEST/STORAGE Harvest in the morning after the dew has evapo-
rated but before it gets too hot. Cut the leaves back to about 1/4"
above the nodes to allow for vigorous regrowth. A healthy crop can be
although many growers harvest only once. Basil may be marketed fresh
or dry. If drying, immediately after harvest, spread the leaves out on
screens and dry quickly in a dark, dry, well ventilated room. When basil
is grown for oil extraction from dried leaves, cut after the flower stalks
appear but just before the flowers open. This versatile crop can be used
for culinary, medicinal, aromatic, ornamental, and cosmetic purposes.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Basil is susceptible to a number of
damping off organisms such as Pythium, Rhizoctonia and Phytophthora.
Avoid overhead irrigation, which creates ideal micro-climates for seed-
ling disease. A major disease issue for commercial growers in high hu-
midity regions is the Fusarium Wilt fungus, which can destroy an entire

The Safe Seed Pledge: “Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically
stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly
buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between
genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties
have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered
seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, to genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems, and ultimately to
healthy people and communities.” —Seeds of Change (from the Council for Responsible Genetics, www.gene-watch.org)
