Corn Popcorn Ruby Red F1 Hybrid - 55815

Crunchy, nutty tasting popcorn. It has a brilliant deep red kernel, which pops into brilliant white popcorn. As it dries for popping, the kernel becomes a deeper and deeper red. 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!

Capsicum Mad Hatter F1 Hybrid - 54078

Mad Hatter is a flat disc pepper that is crunchy and crisp. Its not unlike our previous Habanera Flyer that we used to supply - looks a bit like a spaceship. This very popular all purpose sweet pepper is easy to grow and is right up there with great yields. It has a delicate floral scent and rich flavour that intensifies/sweetens as it matures. The plant habit is extra large and vigourous. In hot, dry climates a small number of fruit will have a touch of heat close to the seed cavity, but the fruit wings are always sweet. Its a bit like a lucky dip or should we say Russian Roulette... you get accustomed to the sweet flavour and then whamo you get a hot one! Its unique shape makes an intriguing addition to the table. Try stuffing them with cream cheese, suffused in olive oil... yum!

Schizanthus Angel Wings - 39975

Bushy plants have fern-like foliage and are perfect for a small border, however they do enjoy semi-shade as opposed to full sun. Also great for some delightful colour splashes in the shady (cooler) part of the garden or in dappled light under some larger shrubs or tree canopies Angel Wings has spotted flowers in shades of cream, pink, violet, blue and rose. When growing Schizanthus, the best thing you can do is provide is an early start and mostly cool weather, so begin your plants indoors about three months before your last anticipated frost date in the spring. Then in cooler regions of NZ, once late spring or early summer arrive, it's time to pop your plants out in a semi-shaded location. They will also benefit if protected from strong winds and extreme weather attacks. Schizanthus will stop producing once the heat of summer sets in. Also a great container plant.

Chicken Foraging Mix - 58740

Those of you that keep chooks can testify to the fact that they have great personalities. Most people treat them as part of the family and want to keep them happy, and so do we, so we've put together a variety of greens that will provide beneficial nutrients for them. This pack can be sown almost all year, giving the chooks a great selection of plants to scratch happily around in. Seeds should be scattered thinly in areas where they forage - ideally you would fence off a couple of different areas, so that while one is growing the other can be grazed upon. Allow approx 2-3g seed per m² - you can mix this with sand, fine soil or vermiculite to help spread it evenly. Keep the chickens off the area until plants are well established and have reached a height of approx 8 - 10cm. After initial grazing move the chickens to the next area, allowing the plants to reshoot. 50g should cover an area of approx 17 - 25 m²
