After popping it holds more anthocyanin and cyanidin than yellow popcorn. These components are known to have high antioxidant activity, so it has a higher nutritional value. Popcorn is becoming increasingly popular, now you can grow your own! Just grow as you would a normal sweet corn, except leave the cobs to dry on the plant. Popcorn is a heavy feeder and needs plenty of nitrogen. Your Popcorn will be ready to harvest when the husks have dried and the kernels are plump, well-coloured and shiny. Remove the husks and dry the cobs fully in a cool, well ventilated place for at least a month. Your kernels will not pop if they are too moist. Test if they are ready by attempting to pop several kernels, if they don't pop, or if the popped corn is chewy, try again after several more days of drying. When cobs are fully dry, harvest them by rubbing seeds off the cob via a twisting action with your hands. Store in an air-tight container (you can pop your container in the fridge) until you are ready to pop them. If stored well they should retain their popping quality for several years!

Flowers are bell-shaped and the colour is either yellow or blue hues, they form distinctive curled clusters. Great plant to include in your composting. We recommend using gloves when working with this product. This snippet from the growing-guides.co.uk website explains Comfrey's value to the Organic Gardener... Comfrey is a particularly valuable source of fertility to the organic gardener. It is very deep rooted and acts as a dynamic accumulator,[6] mining a host of nutrients from the soil. These are then made available through its fast-growing leaves (up to 1.8-2.3 kilograms (4.0-5.1 lb) per plant per cut) which, lacking fibres, quickly break down to a thick black liquid. There is also no risk of nitrogen robbery when comfrey is dug into the soil as the C:N ratio of the leaves is lower than that of well-rotted compost. Comfrey is an excellent source of potassium, an essential plant nutrient needed for flower, seed and fruit production. Its leaves contain 2-3 times more potassium than farmyard manure, mined from deep in the subsoil, tapping into reserves that would not normally be available to plants. https://growing-guides.co.uk/companion-planting-comfrey/
