If soils are heavy or tend to be wet, a raised bed is recommended. \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(243, 243, 243); padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;\"\u003ePosition \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003eFull sun to light shade. \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(243, 243, 243); padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSeeding Depth \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003eSeeding depth: 1\/4-1\/2\" \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(243, 243, 243); padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSeeding Rate \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0%; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003e44M plants\/acre (96M seeds\/acre, 1 lbs\/acre), using 3 seeds\/ft, 8” plant spacing, 18” row spacing.

When it is safe, leave seedlings outside, placing them next to a building with an overhang and let them get used to nighttime temperatures.  The building and overhead cover should give you some protection.  After one night outside and they are used to sun, you can plant without shocking the plant.  Plant in soil when outside temperatures may go to 32 degrees but mostly stay above freezing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Urban Homemaker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42117902172234,"sku":"NIB","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3383\/1498\/files\/10091_194_detail.jpg?v=1748448154"},{"product_id":"ancho-poblano-hot-pepper-certified-organic-non-gmo","title":"Ancho Poblano Hot Pepper -Certified Organic- NON GMO","description":"\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e(\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eCapsicum annuum\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eCertified Organic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13px; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eUnit size: 1\/64 OZ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13px; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eMatures in 68 days for green, and 88 days for red.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e ","brand":"Urban Homemaker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42117902434378,"sku":"10147","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3383\/1498\/files\/10147_1623_detail.jpg?v=1748448155"},{"product_id":"toma-verde-tomatillo-certified-organic","title":"Toma Verde Tomatillo - Certified Organic","description":" \u003ctable class=\"MsoTableGrid\" style=\"border: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; width: 715px;\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; vertical-align: top; width: 699.6875px; background-image: none; background-attachment: scroll; background-color: rgb(243, 243, 243); height: 0.1in; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat repeat;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSoil\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e and\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e Nutrient\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRequirements\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; vertical-align: top; width: 699.6875px; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003eTomatoes yield best in clay or loam soils that are well drained and high in organic matter.

Spinosad works rapidly and effectively against CPB, as well as against corn earworm, imported cabbage worm, codling moth, and several other difficult lepidopterous pests. Ideally we will regain access to Bt so that these two formulas can be used in rotation with one another to prevent selection of resistant insects.  Crop rotation, control of solanaceous weeds, barrier trenches between old and new plantings, trap cropping, use of straw mulch or row cover can delay or reduce CPB pressure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003eCutworms- Usually only a problem for young transplants, placing a collar around the stem when plants are set out will protect them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003eFlea beetles- Floating row cover can protect plants.

Ideally we will regain access to Bt so that these two formulas can be used in rotation with one another to prevent selection of resistant insects.  Crop rotation, control of solanaceous weeds, barrier trenches between old and new plantings, trap cropping, use of straw mulch or row cover can delay or reduce CPB pressure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003eCutworms- Usually only a problem for young transplants, placing a collar around the stem when plants are set out will protect them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003eFlea beetles- Floating row cover can protect plants.

Take care not to over-fertilize with Nitrogen as this can result in more foliage but lower yields.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; vertical-align: top; width: 699.6875px; background-image: none; background-attachment: scroll; background-color: rgb(243, 243, 243); height: 0.1in; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat repeat;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;\"\u003ePosition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; vertical-align: top; width: 699.6875px; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003eFull Sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; vertical-align: top; width: 699.6875px; background-image: none; background-attachment: scroll; background-color: rgb(243, 243, 243); height: 0.1in; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat repeat;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSeeding Depth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; vertical-align: top; width: 699.6875px; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003ePlanting depth: 1\/8-1\/4\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; vertical-align: top; width: 699.6875px; background-image: none; background-attachment: scroll; background-color: rgb(243, 243, 243); height: 0.1in; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat repeat;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;\"\u003ePlant Spacing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; vertical-align: top; width: 699.6875px; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003ePlant spacing: for determinate varieties 12-18\", for indeterminate 24-36\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; vertical-align: top; width: 699.6875px; background-image: none; background-attachment: scroll; background-color: rgb(243, 243, 243); height: 0.1in; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat repeat;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRow Spacing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; vertical-align: top; width: 699.6875px; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003e4-6’ centers.

Optimal soil temperature for germination is 85-95°F.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(243, 243, 243); padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eOther Considerations\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003eBlack plastic mulch can be used to increase soil temperature for earlier planting.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(243, 243, 243); padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFrost Tolerant\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003eNo. Frost damaged fruit will not store well.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(243, 243, 243); padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDrought Tolerant\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 1.1pt;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 1.1pt;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003eNo\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(243, 243, 243); padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eHeat Tolerant\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003eYes\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(243, 243, 243); padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSeed Specs\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"height: 0.1in;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; padding: 2.9pt 5.75pt; height: 0.1in;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003eAcorn and Butternut- 280-375 seeds\/oz (312 avg), 4,500-6,000 seeds\/lb (5,000 avg); Buttercup and Spaghetti- 135-200 seeds\/oz (155 avg), 2,200-3,200 seeds\/lb (2,500 avg); Hubbard-  90-125 seeds\/oz (105 avg), 1,500-2,000 seeds\/lb (1,700 avg); Delicata\/Dumpling- 425-590 seeds\/oz (470 avg), 6,800-9,500 (7,500 avg).

Adults are orange moths with black spots that can be seen flying around in the daytime. They lay eggs at the base of stems, which the larvae chew through, causing wilting.  Larvae can be dug out and killed. Destroying crop residues will help with next year’s population.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli style=\"\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003eAphids can be washed off plants with a hard stream of water.
