Broccoli - Premium Crop

The Broccoli Premium Crop, 'Brassica oleracea', has large, firm dark green heads with small buds. This hybrid has the ability to hold its quality longer on the plant than most varieties. Good for freezing and widely used by processors and home gardeners. The single, textured, 8 to 9 inch heads have small, firm buds on thick tender stems. This reliable performer is resistant to heat and fusarium wilt. Planting in spring is excellent where there are long cool springs and in areas where summers are relatively cool. Late summer planting is recommended in warm summer areas or short spring areas. Broccoli prefers rich, moist, well drained soil with lots of organic matter. Soil PH should be very slightly acid to neutral. Harvest the heads when buds are tight, just before they open into yellow flowers. ... details

 

Petunia - Tidal Wave Hot Pink The Tidal Wave Hot Pink Petunia, 'Petunia x hybrida hedgiflora', has a growth habit based on how closely the plants are spaced in the garden. Place the plants close together and they will get taller. When spaced a minimum of 12 inches apart, it forms a dense, mounded hedge from 16 to 22 inches tall. Grown in restricted space with support, it will grow an extra 2 to 3 feet upward, like a vine. When given plenty of space, this petunia makes a floriferous groundcover spreading 2. 5 to 3 feet. The Tidal Wave petunia was a University of Georgia 1999 Gold Medal Winner. Tidal Wave petunias require no pinching or pruning. The low maintenance qualities and excellent weather tolerance make them well-suited for landscapes and large containers.
