NEW MARSHALL STRAWBERRY

A strawberry so delicious it was given as a gift to Kings and Queens and dubbed the “Finest eating strawberry in all of America.” Marshall strawberry has been resurrected from relative obscurity, and we are very honored to offer it—ready to once again grace our gardens with its juicy, sweet flavor. Discovered in a Massachusetts garden over 125 years ago, Marshall was so prized that Pioneers carried it across the continent. It found a home in the Northwest, thriving and eventually becoming the signature taste Washington and Oregon’s entire frozen fruit industry was built on. And then disaster struck. In the 1940’s diseases imported across the ocean effectively wiped Marshall out of production. The only surviving plants went into hiding in a select few isolated gardens.

Decades later and Marshall had become a myth, a legend gardeners told each other over trowels. Then in 2004 something beautiful happened, Marshall was rediscovered and put on the endangered food list. Through careful cultivation the plant is back in circulation and is once again beloved by foodies, chefs, and flavor connoisseurs everywhere.

Despite its knockout success and hordes of adoring fans, Marshall will never again be a major food production icon. Like our cherished heirloom tomatoes, the fruit is too fragile to ship to stores or markets. But with love and care, Marshall can once again be the treasure of any home garden.

Marshall plants are shipped in mid-March in 3 ½ inch pots. Order early for best availability. Detailed planting information and growing instructions are included with each order and may be obtained on our website. Not available to US Territories or Canada.

Culture Basics

Soil Preparation

l Plants prefer deeply worked, composted, and well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH

l Dig or till in amendments and rake to create a smooth, level seed bed

l Test soil yearly, and amend as needed. Soil analyzers are available on page 141

Direct Sowing

l If you are fertilizing at time of planting, band the fertilizer deeper than the seed will be planted

l Dig a shallow furrow to mark the row

l Plant your seed to the appropriate depth (see specific vegetables for measurements)

l Cover seed with soil, vermiculite, or sifted compost

l Water in and keep the soil evenly moist during germination; avoid soggy soil to prevent rotting

l Thin seedlings when there are 1–2 sets of true leaves (see specific vegetables for final spacing)

Indoor Seeding

l Always start with new and/or sanitized potting supplies and a sterile, soilless, seed starting medium to avoid damping-off, a devastating fungal disease

l Note: To sanitize trays or pots use a mild bleach solution and rinse well

l Start seeds in trays or individual 3‒4 inch pots

l Plant your seed to the appropriate depth (see specific vegetables for measurements)

l For fine seed, lightly press the seed into a prewatered medium so that it has good contact with the soil

l For best results, plant 2–3 seeds per cell/pot

l Water in without washing away the seed

l Keep evenly moist during germination

l Use propagation domes during germination and remove after seedlings have emerged

l To maintain proper soil temperatures for germination use heat mats or soil heating cables

l Adequate light (full sun or direct artificial) is key while seedlings are developing — if seedlings are stretching and spindly looking, they are often reaching for light

Our Guarantee To You

l Thin cells/pots to strongest plant

l To prevent damping off, do not over water, but do provide adequate air flow around seedlings

l During development apply a foliar spray of liquid fertilizer like Age Old Grow (page 146) diluted to ¼ strength

Transplanting

l When your starts are well developed, but before they are root bound, they are ready for transplant

l Harden-off transplants by gradually exposing them to full sun and outside temperatures (this generally takes several days)

l As a general rule, most warm-weather transplants go out after the threat of frost has passed l Veggies such as lettuce and brassicas are more cool tolerant than tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants

l See specific vegetables for plant spacing

l Keep the soil level the same on the stem of the plant, so it's not too deep or too shallow (tomatoes are an exception — see page 92 for tomato culture)

l Irrigate well to ensure roots do not dry out

Cultivation

l Use floating row covers to protect young plants from low evening temperatures, especially early in the season

l Note: Be watchful for early hot spells; covers can create too much heat if left unchecked

l Keep watered and weed free

l Note: Irrigate the soil and avoid wetting the leaves to help reduce fungal issues

l For early and mid season fertilizing, we recommend Age Old Grow or TSC's Complete Fertilizer (see page 146–147)

l For fruiting plants we recommend a fertilizer higher in phosphorus, such as Age Old Bloom (see page 146), to encourage flowering/fruiting — excess nitrogen may cause excess foliage and poor fruit set

Insects, Pests and Diseases

l Strong, healthy plants can best withstand pest and disease pressure

Common pest controls:

l Pyrethrin (see page 148) and predatory insects such as Ladybugs (see page 149) are good for adult insect infestations

l Monterey B.t. (see page 147) specifically targets caterpillars and chewing worms

Common pest prevention:

l Predatory nematodes (see page 149) will attack almost any insect that has part of its life cycle underground

Common disease control:

l Fungal diseases such as molds and mildews can be controlled with Zonix or Neem (see page 147–148)

Common disease prevention:

l Proper crop rotations (see each section for recommendations)

l Practice good garden sanitation by making sure any diseased plant material is either thrown away or burned (not composted)

l At the end of the season, once crops are expired, remove all plants from the garden

l Select disease-resistant varieties if diseases are persistent

l Diseases vary by region, so it is always a good idea to contact your local extension office with questions for your area

Harvest & Storage

l It is important to harvest crops at proper maturity for peak flavor and nutrition

l Avoid damaging or bruising produce

l Use clean tools and containers

l Harvest when weather is cool, especially for leafy greens

l Chill promptly to maintain flavor and extend storage life (except for tomatoes)

l Thoroughly wash and rinse immediately prior to use

Garden Combo Inoculant

Legumes are a vital component of sustainable gardening. Unlike other crops, legume plants extract nitrogen from the air and fix it into the soil in a form that is readily available to plants. They do this by naturally forming a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia bacteria, which work with the plant to form nodules on the plants’ roots that then accumulate usable nitrogen. Some is used by the legume plant itself, and the excess is released into the soil for other plants to use. This entire process is called nitrogen fixing and occurs only if there are sufficient populations of the proper rhizobial bacteria in the soil. Our inoculant contains live rhizobial bacteria and is easy to use. Simply dampen seed and coat with inoculant immediately prior to planting. Our Garden Combo Inoculant is specially formulated to inoculate a wide range of garden legumes including beans and peas along with our vetch and Sunn hemp cover crops. Use your inoculant the year you purchase it, as it is a live product and expires at the end of the calendar year.

l Transplanting not recommended as it can damage the tap root

Direct Sowing

l At the bottom of the furrow band 1 cup of TSC's Complete fertilizer per 10 row feet

l Cover seeds with sifted compost, loose soil, or vermiculite and water evenly

l Use row cover when soil temperatures are cool and to protect from pests

Pests & Diseases

l Common pests: Leaf miners, flea beetles, and leaf hoppers

l Pest control: Pick off affected leaves and check for eggs—if found, spray with Pyrethrin

l Common diseases: Scab

l Disease prevention: Neutral pH (7.0), 3–4 year crop rotation, keep adequately watered

l Common pests: Mice, voles, and gophers

l Pest control: Traps or underground screens

Harvest & Storage

l Harvest when roots reach desired size; small roots are tender, large roots may become woody if left in the ground too long

l Leaves can be used as pot greens or in salads

l Trim tops and store at 36°F and 95% relative humidity

Culture

l Broccoli performs best in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0‒7.0

l Broccoli is a cool-season crop that does not tolerate extreme heat; rough heads or leaves in the head are usually from heat stress

l Keep beds evenly moist and/or use shade cloth to maintain quality during heat waves

l Excess nitrogen or a boron deficiency can cause hollow stem

Direct Sowing

l Direct seed April—June

l At the bottom of the furrow band ½ cup of TSC's Complete fertilizer per 5 row feet l Cover with loose soil or sifted compost

Transplanting

l Not recommended for broccoli raab l Start broccoli indoors 4‒6 weeks before your anticipated transplant date l Side dress with ½ cup of TSC's Complete fertilizer at transplant l Start autumn/overwintering varieties May–July

GYPSY

APOLLO

(F1) 60–90 days. A stellar broccoli cross that yields lots of delicious florets. After the main head is harvested, long-stemmed side shoots can be picked over a long period. Sow with extra space between your plants and encourage branching by cutting the main head when it’s small. The resulting stalks and buds are extra sweet and tender due to the lower-fiber content.

BELSTAR

(F1) 66–75 days. Flawlessly uniform, 6 inch heads are beautiful blue-green, densely packed florets. The tightly domed heads are held high off the plants for easy harvest. This variety has excellent field holding capacity and is ideal for both warm and cold weather planting. It performed so well in our trials that it would have been a sin not to offer it.

Culture

l Brussels sprouts perform best in cool weather and in fertile, well-drained soils

l Proper timing is needed in order to grow large mature plants, which then develop buds during cooler fall weather

l Provide plants consistent, even water (1 inch per week)

l Brussels Sprouts benefit from high fertility early in development and less as they mature (use a slow release fertilizer at transplant and later only if symptoms of deficiency occur)

Direct Sowing

l Not recommended

Transplanting

l Start indoors 4–6 weeks before your anticipated transplant date

l At transplant, work in ½ cup of TSC's Complete fertilizer around the base of each plant

Pests & Diseases

l See Brassica Insect Information on our website

l Disease prevention: 5–7 year crop rotation

Harvest & Storage

l Brussels sprouts are best after a couple of frosts

l Mature buds should be 1‒1 ½ inch, firm and well formed

l Begin picking sprouts from the bottom; upper sprouts will continue to mature as lower ones are harvested

l Alternatively, you can mature the entire stalk by cutting off the top at the growing point when sprouts are present throughout and bottom sprouts are ½ inch in diameter; sprouts will mature within a couple weeks

l Store at 36°F and 100% relative humidity

Culture

l Carrots perform best in deeply worked, wellcomposted, loose soil with a pH of 6.0‒7.0

l When the soil is workable, spade or till it to a fine texture 12–16 inches deep — cloddy, heavy soil will not make straight roots

l Heavy soils can cause forked roots; use Chantenay, Kuroda, Paris Market, or Nantes types in heavy soils

l Avoid split roots by maintaining even watering

l When plants have 7‒10 leaves, hill 1‒2 inches of soil around crowns to prevent green shoulders

Direct Sowing

l Dig a shallow furrow and lightly cover seed with soil, vermiculite or sifted compost

l Water evenly and regularly to prevent soil crusting

l Row cover beds when soil temperatures are cool and to help prevent soil crusting

l Thin when plants are 4 inches tall

Pests & Diseases

l Common pests: Carrot fly

l Pest control: Row covers at planting

l Common diseases: Various blights

l Disease prevention: 3–4 year crop rotation

Harvest & Storage

l Best harvested when ½‒¾ inches in diameter when carrots are sweet and tender

l Irrigate well prior to harvest to ensure the roots have absorbed their maximum capacity of water

l Cut tops prior to storage

Hybrid SE/se

The inherited sugar enhanced (SE/se) traits are what make these corn varieties unique. For starters, the kernel walls are the most tender of all corn varieties. Added to that are more sugars, making every ear as sweet as can be. After harvest, the conversion from sugar to starch in SE/se corn is delayed, so the corn maintains its sweetness longer after picking. To top it off, no isolation is required from other normal types of sweet corn, making SE/se corn very popular. For best germination, soil temperature should be at least 70°F.

Culture

l Garlic thrives in rich, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0–7.0

l Work in 1 inch layer of compost, ½ cup of bone meal, ½ cup TSC's Complete fertilizer per 5 row feet

l When spring growth begins: water to keep the soil slightly moist, and fertilize with Age Old Grow or TSC's Complete fertilizer

l As harvest approaches: water less to avoid molding or staining

l Hardnecks: cut off any flowering stems (scapes) at the top leaf to redirect energy to the bulb; scapes can be used like green onions

Direct Sowing

l In Northern regions, garlic is best planted by the end of October, or 6–8 weeks before the ground freezes

l Southern regions may plant as late as March

l Separate the cloves of garlic just prior to planting, keeping as much skin on as possible

Late-season, Porcelain type. A terrific, adaptable variety that yields bulky bulbs with a succulent flavor that’s balanced with a touch of spice. Silky white heads are lightly streaked with purple and hold 4‒6 fat cloves that are wonderful roasted. A good keeper, too!

(OP) 70 days. Other giant kohlrabi types tested by Territorial over the years have proven to be woody and throw a high percentage of off-types. Superschmelz is the only giant variety we’ve tested that grows uniformly large and remains very sweet and tender to the biggest sizes. It produces juicy 8–10 inch bulbs, and the large root system lends itself to dry gardening. Best quality when summer sown for fall harvest.

Culture

l Kohlrabi performs best in the cool season and can tolerate a wide range of soil types

l For extended harvests, plant every 2–3 weeks

l Mature plants are frost tolerant and cool weather brings out sweet flavor

Direct Sowing

l May and June sowings should be avoided as they result in kohlrabi maturing in the hottest weather, producing dry, woody bulbs

l Sowings can resume from late July to early August for fall/winter harvest

l Thin when plants have 2 sets of true leaves

Transplanting

l Start seeds 4–6 weeks before anticipated transplant date

l Transplant outside when there are 6–8 true leaves and nighttime temperatures remain above 40°F

Pests & Diseases

l See Brassica Insect Information on our website

l Disease prevention: 5–7 year crop rotation

Harvest & Storage

l For spring-sown kohlrabi: harvest when less than 2–4 inches in diameter

l Fall-grown kohlrabi is less likely to get woody as it gets larger

DELICACY

(OP) In our winter trials, when most other kohlrabi had split open and succumbed to the weather, this powerhouse duo kept looking and tasting wonderful. Both Delicacy White and Purple can be harvested when the bulbs reach tennis ball size, but when left to grow slightly larger, they still remain tender. Crisp, delectable flesh is great on a veggie platter, or grated and incorporated into your favorite slaw.

What is pelleted seed?

Seed that has been coated with a clay-based material to form a larger, round shape. This makes planting by hand or mechanical seeder easier and allows for more controlled sowing of small seeds such as carrots or lettuce. All pelleted seed has a National Organic Program (NOP) approved coating. For best results, store pelleted seed in an air-tight container and use within one season.

Gourmet Mesclun Salad Blends

Salad mixes are a staple in our daily lives. Colorful varieties of lettuce, chicory, arugula and curly endive are picked for the daily meal. The preferred planting method is to direct seed into a 4 x 4 foot area every 2–3 weeks. There are two ways to harvest the greens. The first is the traditional cut-and-come-again method— if you cut about 2 inches above the ground you will not harm the growing point and the plants will send up new growth. The second method is to pick individual leaves as needed. The best salads are made from young tender leaves. Older, more mature leaves are often more bitter. See the Lettuce culture box for more growing information. Four grams will sow a 4 x 4 foot area (unless otherwise noted).

Culture

l Onions are photoperiodic plants — they regulate their stages of growth by day length

l Onions will make top growth until the critical light duration is reached, then bulbing begins

l The amount of growth and development prior to bulbing will determine the bulb size

l Long-day varieties do well in northern states where summertime day length is between 14‒16 hours

l Short-day varieties do well in southern states and bulb when day length is 10‒12 hours; they won't get very large in northern states

l Dividing line between short-day and long-day varieties is generally accepted as 36° latitude, roughly along the Kansas/Oklahoma border

l Day-neutral and intermediate-day varieties start bulbing when day length is 12‒14 hours; can be successfully grown anywhere

l Onions prefer light, sandy, loamy soils

l Apply ¼–½ cup of TSC's Complete fertilizer per 5 row feet, 1–2 inches below transplant or seed

Direct Sowing

l Thin to the strongest plant when 4–5 inches

Transplanting

l Sow up to 10–12 seeds in a 4–6 inch pot

l If tops reach over 5 inches before transplant, cut to 3 inches

l When planting out carefully separate the seedlings and place in a shallow trench

l Fill trench around seedlings and water in well

Pests & Diseases

l Common pests: Onion thrips and maggots

l Pest control: Pyrethrin (see page 148) or Predatory Nematodes (see page 149)

l Common diseases: Fusarium basal rot, pink root

l Disease prevention: 5–7 year crop rotation

Harvest & Storage

l For scallions: harvest when pencil size or larger, wash and trim roots, store in a bag at 36°F and 95% relative humidity

l As bulbs approach maturity, withhold water so protective paper can form

l After about half the tops have fallen, push over the remainder; wait about 1 week then harvest

l Cure in a warm (75–80°F), shaded, wellventilated location until outer skin and necks are dry, then trim tops, leaving one inch above the bulb

l Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area

l Check occasionally and immediately remove any sprouting or rotting onions

WALKING ONIONS

Allium cepa, Proliferum Group

Egyptian onions, also known as tree or walking onions, are very hardy perennials. These fascinating onions form several small bulbs underground, plus they produce clusters of reddish hazelnut-sized bulblets at the top of each seed stalk. Normal flowers do not occur.

Planting

Plant bulblets 5–6 inches apart, 1 inch deep, in rows spaced 12 inches apart.

Pests & Diseases

Refer to onion culture on page 63.

Harvest & Storage

Once Egyptian onions have established themselves, you can harvest both the bulbs at the base of the plant and the bulblets at the top of the stems. If left untended, you will understand the term "walking onion", as the onion stalks will bend down to the ground and take root by themselves. In more severe climates, the bulbs should be stored and replanted in the spring. Refer to onion culture on page 63 for curing and storage.

l Common pests: Colorado potato beetle, tuber flea beetle, potato aphid, potato psyllid, potato tuber worm/moth

l Pest control: Pyrethrin, row covers

l Common diseases: Early and late blight, white mold, botrytis, leaf roll virus, mosaic virus, verticilium wilt, potato scab

l Disease prevention: Fungicides, 4-year crop rotation

Harvest & Storage

l "New" potatoes can be harvested from early varieties beginning 60 days after planting

l Once top-growth dies down, leave in the ground for 2 weeks and then harvest

l Dig tubers carefully, brush off soil and allow skins to dry before storing

l Standard potatoes yield about 10 times the amount originally planted

l Fingerling potatoes yield 15–20 times the amount originally planted

l Store in a dark location; 40‒45°F and 90% relative humidity

YACÓN

This member of the sunflower family has tasty fruit-like roots that are sweet, crisp, juicy and very low in calories. Studies show that Yacón roots stimulate good bacteria in the digestive system when consumed, and the plants encourage beneficial microbe populations in the soil where it’s cultivated. Our white-fleshed Yacón’s flavor is best described as a melding of crisp apples and watermelon with a hint of celery or water chestnuts. The crunchy roots contain high levels of inulin, a dietary fiber which accounts for its digestive support properties. Enjoy Yacón peeled and sliced fresh with a little lemon juice (to prevent discoloration). When cooked, the roots become tender and tend to readily absorb flavors. Hardy to zone 5. 1 plant $22.95

Spacing Fertilizer Needs

Days to maturity are calculated from date of planting.

Culture

l Sweet potatoes should be planted in the garden when the weather has stabilized in late spring and nighttime temperatures are above 60°F

l The use of low tunnels or cold frames is highly recommended in cooler climates and northern states with shorter seasons

l Rototill or fork in a 2 inch thick layer of compost and bone meal

l Create 6–8 inch high raised beds

l Soil should be adequately draining; water thoroughly every 7–10 days

l Sweet potatoes require up to 1 inch of water per week throughout the season

Transplanting

l Plant slips deeply into raised beds, up to top leaves

l Live plants should be planted even with the soil

l Keep evenly moist until you see new growth

l If the soil temperature is less than 65°F, plant slips in 3‒4 inch pots and keep them in a warm location until you can plant outside

Culture

l Fertile, well-drained soil gives best results

l Squash is a warm season crop, avoid planting too early; raised beds and plastic mulch help keep roots warm

l Squash are monoecious (bearing separate male and female flowers on the same plant) and require insect pollination

l Poor fruit set is often the result of inadequate pollination; plant bee-attractant flowers (page 115)

Direct Sowing

l Work in shovelful of compost and ½ cup TSC's Complete fertilizer into hill

l Keep soil evenly moist but not wet, as too much moisture causes seed to rot

l Bush varieties: sow 3–4 feet apart

l Vining varieties: sow 4–6 feet apart

Transplanting

l Work in shovelful of compost and ½ cup TSC's Complete fertilizer into hill

l Start indoors 3–4 weeks prior to anticipated transplant date in 4 inch pots

l Transplant carefully as to not disturb roots

Pests & Diseases

l Common pests: Spotted and striped cucumber beetles, vine borers and squash bugs

l Pest control: Row covers and/or Pyrethrin

l Moschata species are resistant to vine borer

l Common diseases: See chart on page 85; diseases vary by region

l Disease prevention: 3–4 year crop rotation, and fungicide applications

Harvest & Storage

l Summer squash: Harvest regularly when fruits are young to keep plants productive

l Winter squash: Leave on vine until fully mature, rinds should be firm

4 When winter squash is mature cut stem leaving 2–4 inches remaining, gently wash in sanitizing solution; 10 parts water to 1 part bleach

4 For best results move winter squash to a warm dry area 80–90°F to cure; see each type for curing requirements

4 Store winter squash at 50‒60°F with 50–75% relative humidity and good air circulation

Days to maturity are calculated from date of transplant.

Culture

l Determinate tomatoes: grow compactly, sprawling laterally, usually do not require staking, and fruit ripens over a short period of time

l Indeterminate tomatoes: grow on long vines, generally require pruning to 1 or 2 leaders that need to be trellised

l Fertile, well drained raised beds covered with plastic mulch promote early growth and better yields

l Tomatoes are high feeders and will benefit from regular fertilization with Age Old Bloom

l To prevent blossom-end rot use a high calcium amendment

l Overwatering can cause fruit to crack

Transplanting

l Sow seeds in trays 6–8 weeks before anticipated transplant date; up-pot into 3–4 inch pots when the first set of true leaves appears

l Strong light and cooler temperatures (60–70°F) prevent plants from getting leggy

l Fertilize with Age Old Grow every 10–14 days

l At transplant: work in compost, ½ cup of TSC's Complete fertilizer, and handful of bone meal

l Determinates can be spaced 18–24 inches apart, indeterminates 24–36 inches apart

l Tomatoes can be buried up to the top 2 sets of leaves

l Use Kozy-Coats or Victorian Bell Cloches to protect young plants (see page 145)

Pests & Diseases

l Common pests: Flea beetles and tomato hornworms

l Pest control: Pyrethrin or row cover for flea beetles, and Monterey B.t. for tomato hornworms

l Common diseases: Early and late blight

l Disease prevention: A strict 3–4 year rotation, remove vines at the end of the year, fungicide

Harvest & Storage

l Don't refrigerate for best flavor

l Green fruit should be ripened in a cool, dark area; make sure fruit are not touching

GRAINS

Grains require modest levels of nutrition to produce good quality proteins. Excessive soil fertility will cause lower protein levels and may lead to lodging (heavy heads falling over). Seeding: The ease of weed control is directly related to the method of sowing. Most grains prefer to be drilled or planted into the soil and covered. For the smaller-scale grower, broadcast the seed over the surface of the soil and rake in to ensure good soil contact. Sow 3 pounds per 1000 square feet. See our website for additional varieties and culture information. Complete harvest and storage information included with each order.

COVER CROPS

One of the easiest and most economical ways to improve your soil is to plant green manures, commonly called cover crops. Most garden soils can be maintained at their highest level of productivity by sound soil management practices that involve a combination of soil tillage, crop rotation, and most importantly, the addition of organic matter through green manures. Organic matter is the food component of soil. Soil-dwelling fungi and bacteria work to break down organic matter. When these soil microorganisms eat organic matter, nutrients are released back into the soil in a form that is usable by plants. This process is called nutrient cycling. Nutrient cycling affects both the physical and chemical properties of the soil. The addition of organic matter builds soil structure, which increases water absorption and nutrient-holding capacity, buffers the soil pH, and improves aeration. Cover crops choke out weeds by restricting sunlight to the soil, stabilize the soil surface, and through their deep-reaching roots, help to break up hardpan and bring nutrients to the surface for other plants to utilize. As part of a long-term rotation plan, cover crops can provide a stable habitat within your garden for beneficial insects and microorganisms. Green manures can be grown in the same year as a vegetable crop, such as a cover crop of white clover planted around a cole crop. They can also be grown as a perennial in orchards and vineyards. In mild climates (zones 6 and above), cover crops can be fall planted and tilled in the following spring just before planting. In harsher climates, cover crops can be grown in rows between the crops or as a component of rotation in your garden. Green manure crops are a superior source of organic matter when they are cut and turned under. In addition to this benefit, legume green manures (peas, beans, clovers, favas and vetch) act as a host for the bacteria that fix and make nitrogen available for your vegetable or fruit crops.

Legume cover crops are an essential component of good soil management. Growing legumes and incorporating them back into the soil increases the organic carbon content, and improves the soil fertility and water holding capacity of the soil. Legumes obtain their nitrogen from the air, and can provide as much nitrogen for your next crop as fertilizer, containing 100–150 pounds of nitrogen per acre. For maximum nitrogen yields, legumes should be incorporated into the soil at peak bloom.

Brassica Cover Crops

The rapid growth of brassicas supplies a thick ground cover that protects the soil from erosion and helps suppress weeds with a dense amount of biomass. Some brassicas have a large taproot that can break through plow or rototiller pans, thus aerating the soil. The roots also scavenge nutrients from deep in the soil and bring them back to the surface where they can be utilized by your next food crop plantings. Other brassica species release chemical compounds that may be toxic to soil-dwelling pathogens and pests such as nematodes, and even some weeds. And if left to flower, brassicas are especially popular with beneficial insects.

MIGHTY MUSTARD® TRIFECTA POWER BLEND™

(OP) Brassica juncea & Sinapis alba (A) This all-in-one cover crop blend provides rich organic matter to your ground, recycles nutrients and acts as natural soil fumigant to fight nematodes, insects, and pathogenic fungi. When worked into the soil, it releases high levels of glucosinolates, a natural chemical agent that makes some brassicas spicy. For use as a fumigant, mow down and immediately work into the soil and irrigate to release the glucosinolates. When soil pests come into contact with the decaying matter and the fumes of decomposition they are unable to complete their life cycle. Wait at least 3 weeks before planting crops in the fumigated soil. This mustard not only recycles existing nitrogen from its long tap roots, but the plant itself has a high protein and nitrogen content that will greatly increase the soil's fertility and tilth. The best practice with cover crop mustard is to mow while in flower and before seed-set to ensure it doesn't reseed itself. Vigorous plants will reach up to 5–6 feet when in bloom, producing upwards of 4–5 tons of biomass per acre. Sow spring to summer. Recommended seeding rate: ¼–½ pound per 1000 square feet; 15–20 pounds per acre.

GROUNDHOG DAIKON RADISH

(OP) Raphanus sativus var. niger (A) 60 days. Daikon in Japanese means large root. There are perhaps hundreds of varieties of daikon radishes bred for different purposes: from the very mild carrot-shaped types for fresh eating and pickling, to the tillage types we sell here. This strain of daikon is referred to as a biodrill or tillage radish. Tillage radishes are speci fically bred to form huge soil-busting roots, with a tap root that can reach far into the soil to reclaim nitrogen. The roots also leave large holes in the ground allowing water infiltration and soil aeration. They can even suppress weeds with their quick canopy cover, especially from August sowings. Once planted in late summer, the radishes are not harvested or turned under, but left to die off in the winter and decay to contribute a nitrogen store for spring planting. The extra long, 10–20 inch roots of Groundhog allows it to drill down and pull huge amounts of nutrients from deep within the soil, which the following crop can utilize. In just 6–8 weeks, Groundhog can capture 150–200 pounds of nitrogen per acre before winter killing. Plant in late summer. Recommended seeding rate: ½ pound per 1000 square feet; 10–12 pounds per acre.

PACER FORAGE TURNIP

(F1) Brassica rapa (A) 50–70 days. A cross between a forage turnip and a forage rape. Fall-sown turnips do an excellent job of suppressing weeds and are ef ficient miners and recyclers of existing nutrients in the soil. When turned under, they decompose very quickly. Livestock and deer can survive quite nicely all winter long dining on this high protein forage source. Pacer was bred for fast, vigorous establishment and quick maturity. It also has more leaf structure than most other forage turnips and is multi-crowned for improved re-growth potential even after aggressive animal foraging. The high leaf-to-bulb ratio results in a very leafy crop with high digestibility your livestock will love. Sow spring to late summer.

Lacy Phacelia

LACY PHACELIA

(OP) Phacelia tanacetifolia (A) The list of benefits that cover crops can offer a garden is extensive, and Lacy Phacelia is unique in that its predominant contribution is its pollinator-attracting power. On our farm, stands of Lacy Phacelia are a constant buzz of bee activity like no other plant with the exception, perhaps, of buckwheat in full bloom. This fast-growing annual wildflower produces very attractive, ferny foliage growing 2‒3 feet tall and topped with fascinating blue flowers that unfurl in a fiddlehead shape. As a cover crop, Lacy Phacelia aggressively out-competes weeds and will absorb excess nitrates and calcium in the ground. At our farm, we have found that this crop conditions the top few inches of soil better than almost any other cover crop we've grown. Lacy phacelia will germinate in soil temperatures greater than 37°F, with the optimal range being 60‒70°F. Will readily re-seed if not dead-headed, and winter kills at 20°F. Recommended seeding rate: 3 ounces per 1,000 square feet or 7 pounds per acre. WW4456C LACY PHACELIA 1 oz 1 lb 4 oz

Cereal Grains and Grass

Cereal grains and grasses grow very quickly and provide quick ground cover. They can produce a tremendous amount of biomass that not only smothers weeds and prevents soil erosion, but also puts huge amounts of green matter, or green manure, back into the soil which improves the soil’s tilth. These cover crops are nature’s great nutrient recyclers. The plant’s extensive root system pulls nitrogen and other minerals from deep within the soil, and stores these elements within its roots and leaf structure. Upon turning under the crop, nitrogen and other elements are released or recycled back just underneath the soil surface so the next crop can utilize the nitrogen that once was beyond reach and leaching away.

Cover Crop Blends

ORGANIC SUMMERMAX BLEND

(OP/F1) Fagopyrum esculentum, Glycine max, Sorghum x drummondii, Avena sativa, Vigna unguiculata subsp. unguiculata (A) A fast-growing, warm weather cover crop for soil improvement, weed suppression or forage. This blend of allorganic 34% Buckwheat, 32% Soybeans, 14% Viking 210 Sorghum Sudangrass, 10% Sumo Oats, and 10% Black Eyed Cowpeas provides a very vigorous, balanced mix of broadleaf annual/legume/summer annual grass to produce enormous amounts of biomass.

BUCKWHEAT

(OP) Fagopyrum esculentum (A) Grows quickly to 24 inches in ordinary garden soil and has minimal nutritional needs. Should be tilled in when flowering begins (5–6 weeks after germination). The brittle plants are easy to chop up with a hoe, making it an easy cover crop to work with. Because of its dense growth, buckwheat can smother out the most tenacious weeds, even thistle! An excellent attractant for bene ficial insects as well as a good thrip trap crop. Also works as an accumulator of insoluble phosphorus that is released back into the soil when tilled in. Sow spring to summer. Recommended seeding rate: 1 pound per 500 square feet; 50 pounds per acre.

Relatively fast-growing, it’s a great selection for the self-sustaining poultry farmer, as chickens love it! A warm weather crop, Succotash should be sown in spring to summer for grain production, as it will winter kill. Seeding rate: 80–100 pounds per acre.

WW4449G SUCCOTASH ORGANIC

OATS

(OP) Avena sativa (A) This valuable cover crop has many uses. Oats’ fast spring growth makes it ideal for erosion control and adds quick organic matter to the soil. As a fast germinating nurse crop, it will shade and keep the soil cooler for slower germinating legumes. Sow spring through summer. Although it will winter kill, oats can be planted in the fall and the residual plant material can be worked under in the spring to form a soft mellow seedbed. Oats will form seed heads the first year. You can mow it high to remove immature seed heads, or cut it for oat hay.

Recommended seeding rate: 1–2 pounds per 1000 square feet; 50 pounds per acre.

M. x gracilis One of the prettiest and most aromatic mint we’ve grown, Ginger mint’s pinkish stems and golden-streaked, tooth-edged leaves are a standout in the ornamental and herb gardens alike. This easy-to-grow variety thrives in moist soil and reaches about 12 inches tall. Bees and other pollinators love the summer blooms. Plant in large planters to contain the spreading runners. Hardy in zones 5–9.

M. requienii A Corsican mint, Mini Mint makes a heavenly fragranced, spreading, ornamental ground cover that hugs the ground, reaching only 1–2 inches tall. Easy to grow, it prefers ample moisture and some protection in the hottest time of the year. Planted in between stepping stones, it releases its refreshing, minty aroma when crushed or bruised. Summer brings tiny, pink blooms atop the dense mat of petite, round foliage. Mini Mint may dry to dormancy if insufficiently irrigated in summer’s heat, but usually returns once the weather cools. Delightful in containers, fairy gardens and as an underplanting groundcover. We find its flavor too strong for culinary use. Each multi-seed pellet contains 8–12 seeds and is very easy to handle. Hardy in zones 6–9. Germination code: (1)

Oregano

Nigella sativa 6 7 (A) At first glance this may appear to be the unassuming, old fashioned cottage flower, Love-in-a-Mist, but this species has a powerful twist. It’s also known as Black Seed, Black Cumin, Fennel Flower, and other misleading names, as it is neither cumin nor fennel. Its seeds are used in Eastern dishes for adding a bracing zest as well as medicinally for treating a laundry list of maladies. These undemanding plants will reach 8‒10 inches tall with a very similar look to its Love-in-a-Mist cousin. Once the balloon-shaped seed pods mature, you can collect the seed for grinding as a seasoning or extracting the delicious oil. Approximately 350 seeds per gram. Germination codes: (1 & 4)

STINGING NETTLES

If you know, you know. To some, nettles is an irritating weed, but like many strongwilled plants, it has its powerfully healthful properties, too. A folky herb, nettles offers an abundance of very valuable health-promoting qualities and has been employed for generations for human and animal consumption. As its name reveals, the plant has defensive, spiny hairs that can pierce bare skin, introducing a mixture of irritating compounds. Handling the fresh herb requires some care: gloves and long sleeves, but the offending spines break down easily with heat or drying. Use the leaves, stems and roots in teas, cooking, topical ointments and more. When sowing do not bury seed.

Germ Code (6)

Germination occurs between 70–85°F and within 6–15 days. Sow indoors and cover lightly.

Needs to pre-chill. See website for more details.

Needs darkness to germinate. Remove cover as soon as germination occurs. Direct sow in the garden as soon as the soil warms to at least 55°F.

Germination may be slow and erratic. Temperatures of 75°F during the day and 50°F at night may help.

Needs at least 12 hours of light per day to germinate. Press into the medium but do not cover. Keep moist.

Note: For those varieties that indicate a (1) or (6), a light covering of vermiculite will allow adequate light to the seed and keep it uniformly moist.

Culture

l As a general rule, flowers can be sown when soil has warmed to at least 55°F

l Apply 1–2 cups of TSC's Complete fertilizer per 5 row feet, and 1 inch of compost

l If you prefer to soak your seeds: soak in 85°F water for 1–3 hours and plant immediately — longer soaking times are often detrimental; seeds need air to live

Direct Sowing

l Seeds should be buried 2 times their narrowest dimension and covered with finely raked soil or vermiculite unless otherwise noted

l Some varieties can take over a month to germinate so mark your rows, keep them moist, and for larger seeds like sunflowers, use bird netting

Transplanting

l Sow 5–6 weeks prior to anticipated transplant date

l If seeds need darkness, cover with 2 sheets of newspaper or plastic, remove upon the first signs of germination

l We recommend feeding your seedlings Age Old Grow, diluted to ¼ strength

Pests & Diseases

l Early watering and good weed control will generally alleviate most problems

l Pyrethrin will control most insects

Harvest & Storage

l For fresh-cut flowers: Harvest in the morning when flowers are their freshest and petals are just opening

l Cut with a clean knife that has been dipped in a solution of 10% household bleach

l A few drops of bleach in the vase will prolong their beauty

l Pest control: BirdBlock Netting (see page 148) or flash tape

l Note: Avoid wetting foliage to prevent rust

Harvest & Storage

l Cut flowers in the morning just after they open

l Use a clean knife, a clean vase, and a few drops of chlorine bleach in the water

l Cutting the mature central flower head will promote side-shoot flower production

l For seed-eating gardeners, harvest the heads when the bracts begin to shrivel, and hang the flowers upside down in a barn or shed

l Gray and white striped sunflower seeds are the best choice

l Salting: When dry, rub the seeds off the heads and soak overnight in 1 gallon of water with 1 cup of salt added, drain, and dry in a 250°F oven for 4–5 hours and store in an airtight container

Sweet Peas

Lathyrus odoratus 1 7 (A) Sweet peas are an easy flower to grow. Their peak bloom time is early summer and typically finish by mid-July, unless otherwise noted. Sweet peas prefer deeply dug soil with lots of rich compost. Best grown in full sun on a fence or trellis. Sow in early spring, the same time you would plant garden peas. To hasten germination the seed can be rubbed with sandpaper and soaked for one hour in warm (110°F) water to help soften the hard seed coat. Sow the seed 1–2 inches deep, 3–6 inches apart. Germination occurs in 10–15 days. When the seedlings are about 10 inches tall, pinch out the growing point to allow for more branching. Vines average 4–5 feet long. To prolong flowering, mulch heavily to keep the soil cool, fertilize lightly during the blooming season, and remove old blossoms. Approximately 12 seeds per gram. Germination code: (4)

NEW YAUPON

North America’s own caffeine source!

Yaupon is a type of holly, a broadleaf evergreen, that is native to the southeastern US. Indigenous tribes valued the plant for its stimulating quality, but the plant fell into obscurity after colonists introduced tea (Camellia sinensis). More recently, Yaupon is enjoying a resurgence of interest. Leaf/stem preparation is simple, and the resulting tea has a mild, earthy flavor profile and can be compared to green or black tea minus the tannins (depending on the processing of the Yaupon leaf/stem). Yaupon’s high anti-oxidant content is an added bonus. The plants are handsome, textural shrubs with dense foliage and minimal fertility requirements. Established plants are drought tolerant, and they tolerate pruning well.

Rarely found in markets since the berries are fragile, but well worth growing at home, the boysenberry counts its heritage from raspberry, blackberry and Loganberry, bringing us the best of all three with its irresistible flavor, nearly seedless fruit and deep color with the added bonus of a painless harvest.

Summer Breeze Cherry Blossom

Rainbow Treasure

Italian Alpine

Beloved by Scandinavians, these hardy, low-growing evergreen shrubs are easy to grow and produce bright red berries against the glossy green foliage. Lingonberries are loaded with vitamin C and make the most delicious jams, pies, wines and more! Follow blueberry culture, placing them in well-drained sites amended with peat, bark or old sawdust.

Our kiwi’s fast-growing, deciduous vines produce sumptuous, nutritious fruit. Less aggressive than other kiwi varieties, Proli fic is easily trained and ideal for trellises or fences. Unlike most kiwis that require a male and female to produce fruit, Proli fic is self-fertile and will independently yield delicious, grape-sized fruit. The plants are extremely durable, hardy, relatively disease and pest-free. Planted in full to part sun, the fragrant, inconspicuous flowers will bloom in early summer followed by tempting, sweet, smooth-skinned fruit in fall.

RED CANDY

An especially attractive, improved variety from Europe. Red Candy has a very strong, compact form and flowers early and heavily. It produces consistent yields of large, tasty fruit that stay on the plants for an extended period.

LUTHER BURBANK’S THORNLESS OPUNTIA

A unique, cold-hardy, and nearly spineless nopal cactus, colloquially referred to as prickly pear. Plants bear numerous oblong, bluish-green, 1 ½ foot long pads, known as nopales or nopalitos, that have long been a staple of Mexican, Central American, and Southwestern cuisine. Gardeners are rewarded with 4 inch orange-yellow flowers at the tips of the pads, which will go on to bear fleshy, bottom-heavy reddish-purple fruit, or tuna, their taste often likened to watermelon. Hybridized in the early 1900s by Luther Burbank from South American seed. Extremely drought tolerant plants should be planted in full sun. Hardy to below 20°F.

The plants have a dense, spiny, vining habit, and prefer well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Goji berries bloom in early summer with lavender, trumpet-shaped flowers followed by glossy, red berries. Naturally disease and pest resistant. Plants are approximately ½–1 foot tall when shipped.

WASABI

TRUFFLE TREE

Truffles top the list of gourmet delicacies, and these elusive subterranean fungi are now within reach for the home gardener thanks to centuries of effort to domesticate them. Truffles live exclusively in the soil around the roots of a suitable host tree. In this case, we have the truffle mycorrhizae established on the roots of a common English oak tree. Suitable for growing in zones 6–9, the truffles may take 5–7 years to successfully establish themselves, but the resulting annual winter harvests can last for decades. Note: Bianchetto truffles require a soil pH between 6.0–8.3. If your soil is more acidic, we recommend preparing your planting area with lime to adjust the pH well in advance of receiving your trees.

WASABI ‘DARUMA’

A pungent delight seldom available to the home gardener. Even at sushi establishments and specialty grocers, 'wasabi' pastes most often derive their spicy kick from its relatives, horseradish and mustard, and lack the nuanced flavor of true wasabi: an intense, aromatic heat that quickly subsides, giving way to a smooth, sweet finish that lingers. Though chefs use any and all parts of the plant, it is prized for its root, or rhizome, which is grated and served as a ubiquitous condiment for sushi and noodle dishes in its native Japan. Wasabi has now found its way into a broader range of culinary applications, lending zing to traditional sauces, dressings, rubs, cocktails, even ice cream! Roots command up to $100 per pound here in the states, but a few specialty growers and new research from the Pacific Northwest Extension have shown promise for stateside gardens. Our hardy, disease-resistant ‘Daruma’ selection is propagated from disease-free tissue cultures. Attractive plants have heart-shaped to round foliage and will provide harvests of delicious, high quality, thick green roots and multiple plant divisions after 2 years. Complete growing instructions included.

HORSERADISH

ENGLISH OAK TREES INOCULATED WITH BIANCHETTO TRUFFLES

The Bianchetto truffle is a highly prized Italian species. Its name indicates its whitish coloration in contrast to blackish truffles. Inside, the flesh is brown with white marbling, and the strong aroma is described as earthy, garlicy and cheesy. The hazelnut to golf ball-sized truffles lend themselves to a vast array of recipes.

tude of beneficial phytochemical and antioxidant compounds as well as minerals in the rhizomes.

Planting

Horseradish prefers well-dug soil rich in organic matter. It also spreads easily, so you may want to isolate it. Apply 1–1 ½ pounds of TSC's Complete fertilizer per 20 square feet. Mix the fertilizer into the top 3–4 inches of soil. Dig a shallow trench and place the roots in the trench horizontally, spacing them 1–2 feet apart and cover with 2 inches of soil. You’ll harvest larger roots if the plants are kept well watered throughout the summer. Pests & Diseases

Contact your county extension agent with specific questions.

Harvest & Storage

Dig the roots in the fall after the tops have frosted and replant some of the smaller roots. Harvest the larger roots for use in the kitchen. Store the harvested roots in the refrigerator in a plastic bag. Wash, trim, and grate. Add vinegar or lemon juice to keep the chopped root from turning brown.

HORSERADISH ROOTS

One taste of fresh cocktail sauce, spicy prime rib dressing or zingy Bloody Mary seasoning and you will embrace homegrown horseradish and its tongue-tingling zest into your daily culinary repertoire.

Wasabia japonica 'Daruma' (P) Wasabi requires light, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, a shaded spot, and frequent watering. Larger-scale, semi-aquatic cultivation is also possible to match the highest-grade wasabi, traditionally grown in diverted mountain streambeds. Not the easiest crop to grow, but very rewarding for the gardener who loves a challenge or anyone who wants to experience this authentic flavor sensation.

Trellising

20 Gallon Root Pouch With Handles

These roomy, heavy-duty planting bags are big enough for a small garden or larger tree! Constructed from recycled water bottles and natural fiber, the lightweight, 20 gallon pots are durable, reusable and long-lasting. Better yet, the material acts like a root pruner: when a root reaches the Root Pouch, rather than deflect away and encircle the pot as they do in standard nursery containers, the roots split as if they’ve been pruned. The resulting increase in smaller, fibrous roots allows the plant to more ef ficiently take up moisture and nutrients for more vigorous, productive plants. Root Pouch regulates the temperature of the potting medium, where nursery pots can overheat and damage the plants. BPA free and UV resistant. Measures 14 ½ inches tall and 18 inches in diameter with 2 stout handles securely sewn in the top. Please note: color may vary depending on manufacturer availability.

ZTO918 $13.95

Many market growers and home gardeners from around the country plant earlier and thus harvest sooner using floating row covers. Row covers are gently placed directly on the transplants or over direct seeded rows, being careful to leave slack to allow for growth expansion as the crop develops. They protect from frosts and give earlier yields. Plants love the added warmth that the fabric provides, resulting in accelerated growth and maturity as compared to uncovered crops. Row covers freely pass air and water, requiring no special ventilation or watering. As an insect screen, floating covers work well on flying insects, however, we suggest using the Insect Barrier or Micromesh for this purpose. Anchor with soil around the edges, or use Fabric Staples (ZRC746, see our website). No hoops or supports needed, it just floats on top of plants. Defeats carrot rust fly, cabbage fly, leaf miners, aphids and flea beetles. Lasts 1–4 seasons depending on its accumulated exposure to the sun.

Summer Insect Barrier

Keep unwanted insects out.

This lightweight fabric provides an effective screen to reduce damage from flea beetles, thrips, aphids, whiteflies, striped cucumber beetles, and other insects that are virus vectors. Porous to both air and water. It allows 90–93% light transmission without heat build up and is UV stabilized so it won’t deteriorate quickly. At 0.4 ounce per square yard, it’s lighter, softer, and more flexible than Reemay.

Premium Organic BioChar

Based on the wisdom of pre-Columbian people who made biochar over 6000 years ago and established the fertile areas of Terra Preta in the Amazon. Biochar is an exceptional, high-carbon, low ash soil amendment that works in conjunction with water and fertilizers to hold and slowly release moisture and nutrients as the plants demand. Our biochar's enormous surface area makes it an ideal material for hosting beneficial microbial life in the soil. When incorporated into the soil, biochar offsets greenhouse gasses created during the natural decomposition of organic materials, improves the texture and tilth of both clay and sandy soils, reduces the need for irrigation, and tempers pH of acidic soil. This is the highest quality biochar available, made from sustainably managed wood that's thermally decomposed under carefully controlled, oxygen-starved conditions. Requiring only a one-time application, 1 cubic foot bag will cover approximately 12 - 24 square feet for vegetable plantings. Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) listed.

Beneficial Insects

PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING:

Beneficial insects will be shipped immediately when ordered unless prior arrangements have been made with our office. Delayed shipments are not always possible. Additional shipping charges may be applied to delayed shipments.

Biological controls have been used for thousands of years, and they should be a part of your pest control program. Beneficial insects work by attacking pest insects thus reducing their numbers. It is important to note that total elimination of pests is not required to grow good crops; it is only necessary to reduce pests below the damage threshold for the crop being grown. When using beneficial insects, it is important to avoid disruptive chemicals. Complete instructions included with each order.

All our beneficial insects are available year–round except the Praying Mantis eggs, which are not available August through December. We recommend releasing beneficial insects outdoors from April through September, based on your local weather conditions. They may be released in your greenhouse anytime. Available only within the contiguous US.

Beneficial Bug Mix

Blue Orchard Mason Bees are gentle, rarely sting and are easy to raise. They are one of the first emerging bees in spring, just in time to coincide with early blooming fruit and nut trees. These energetic little bees do not produce honey and do not swarm; they simply flit from flower to flower, gathering and distributing pollen. Hatching, pollinating, laying 30–35 eggs and dying all within 6–8 weeks in early spring through early June. These busy little bees do not live in hives, but are cavity nesting bees, meaning they want to place pollen and nectar into a hole and then lay an egg on that mass. Our Mason Bee nesting accessories are an easy way to help these pollinators live on, making your garden more productive and beautiful every year.

Steps to Success

Raising Blue Orchard Mason Bees can be easy and rewarding. Mason bees will travel up to 300 feet for food before relocating to a new home, so place their home near their food source: fruit or nut trees, native flowering plants and any open-faced flowers. Harvest the cocoons in the fall and store them in the refrigerator, adding a cotton ball moistened with sugar water every few weeks to maintain proper humidity.

Mason Bees

Bees ship approximately late January/early February (while supplies last). Refrigerator storage and humidity is necessary until proper time for hatching in your area. Instructions included. Sorry, not available to HI or Canada.

Nesting Tubes

Mason bees prefer a medium with insulating qualities that wicks moisture away from the cocoon, keeping them dry and mold-free. The tubes also help protect cocoons from predatory wasps and mites. We have two different tube systems to choose from, each measuring 6 inches in length; the ideal depth for mason bees to lay their eggs.

Wood Trays

Our Wood Nesting Trays are 2-piece tunnel systems. Precision-machined of solid Northwest alder, these trays are designed to provide holes with the correct diameter and depth that female mason bees require to lay their eggs. The 2-part tunnel design makes harvesting the cocoons and cleaning simple—no need for tube liners. The tray system features a side-locking design to seal out predators, and when assembled, the color and slightly uneven texture of the block face aids the bees in identifying their tunnels. Contains 7 trays with 48 holes and includes cinch straps to ensure stability. Dimensions are 5 ½ inches x 3 ½ inches x 6 ¼ inches.
