<h2><strong>Ashitaba seeds (Tomorrow's Leaf) (Angelica keiskei)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p><span>Angelica keiskei Koidzumi, commonly known under the Japanese name of Ashitaba (アシタバ or 明日葉 ashitaba, literally "Tomorrow's Leaf"), is a cold hardy perennial plant from the angelica genus with an average growth height of 50–120 cm. It is endemic to Hachijō-jima, though it is artificially cultivated in Izu Ōshima, Mikura-jima, Nii-jima, To-shima and parts of Honshū as well.</span></p> <p><span>The plant's additional cultivar epithet koidzumi refers to botanist Gen'ichi Koizumi, while its Japanese nomenclature stems from the above-average regenerative capabilities it exhibits after injury. Harvesting a leaf at the break of day often results in a new sprout growing overnight, being visible the following morning.</span></p> <p><span>Traditionally it is seen as a major contributor to the supposedly healthier, extended lives of the local residents, possibly due to the chalconoids that are unique to this species of angelica. At one point in Edo period, the haulm's yellow sap was effectively used in the external treatment of smallpox, which prompted Kaibara Ekken to describe the herb in his Yamato honzō (大和本草), under the name of ashitagusa (鹹草), as "a powerful tonic drug." In folk medicine it is claimed to be diuretic, tonic, to improve digestion, and, when applied topically, to speed wound healing and prevent infection. Also, its nutritive qualities are said to be the factor behind the internal exiles' and their families' never waning stamina in the face of their arduous compulsory labor.</span></p> <p><span>For similar reasons, it very widely serves as pasture for cows, reckoned to improve the quality of milk as well as the yield and to maintain cattle health at the same time. It should be pointed out that most of these claims have yet to be proven in clinical trials, while studies have substantiated the presence of furocoumarins in several of these plants' components. Furanocumarin is an agent known to increase skin sensitivity to sunlight and may cause dermatitis.</span></p> <p><span>Nonetheless, modest conditions for cultivation and fast rate of growth, with optimal temperatures ranging between 12-22 degrees, have led many locals to plant ashitaba in herb gardens, flower pots, and backyards. These days the main use of their stipes, leaves, and taproots is in regional cuisine, where they are prepared as soba, tempura, shōchū, tea, ice cream, pasta etc. The Mikura-jima variety might excel in this regard as it is reputed to be less bitter than others.</span></p> <p><span>Note that ashitaba closely resembles Angelica japonica, but can be distinguished by its blooming period, which lasts from May to October whereas A. japonica's blooming period lasts only between May and July. Another indicator is the characteristic color of its sap.[2] The larvae of the Common Yellow Swallowtail are known to feed frequently on the plant.</span></p> <h2><span>Medicinal properties</span></h2> <p><span>A. keiskei has been claimed to exhibit cytotoxic, antidiabetic, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, and antimicrobial properties via in vitro studies, but the efficacy of these qualities have yet to be confirmed in vivo.[3] Among current investigations is its potential as a nerve growth factor,[4] as well as potential usefulness in cancer, menopause, and other conditions.[5] Ashitaba may have positive effects on circulation by preventing red blood cells from clumping.</span></p> <h2><strong><span>Claims of being a vegetable source of vitamin B12</span></strong></h2> <p><span>Although it is often suggested that A. keiskei is a vegetable source of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), recently published, peer-reviewed scientific investigations of pharmacology and phytochemical constituents of interest report nothing that substantiates this claim.[7][8] Traditional methods for measuring vitamin B12 in foods are compromised by contaminants (e.g. soil, bacteria, etc.) that contain detectable concentrations of inactive B12 analogs, which may explain the origin of this belief.[9] More recent studies reveal certain mushrooms and algae as the only naturally occurring sources of B12 outside of the animal kingdom.[10] Of these, only Chlorella has demonstrated the ability to reduce methyl malonic acid (MMA) levels (a product of B12 deficiency) in human subjects.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Soak seeds overnight in cool, non-chlorinated water and then refrigerate the seeds (approximately 40 degrees F) in the moist medium for 3 days.  </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>The moist medium could be moist sand, moist potting soil, moist coir or moist peat.  </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>Note that our recommendation is MOIST, not SODDEN or VERY WET and that we are recommending REFRIGERATION not FREEZING.  </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>After this pretreatment, plant the (still moist) seeds.  </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>Sow on surface, barely cover with soil and press in firmly and keep evenly moist until germination.  </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>Use a greenhouse, shade house or grow lights.  </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>Germination Temperature is around 20C/68F</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>Germination occurs 30 to 60 days after sowing.   </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>Seedlings are slow-growing and will require about 60 days to transplant.  </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>Once past the seedling stage, the plant is fast growing. </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>The plants prefer rich, deep, ever moist, well-drained soil and full sun to part shade.  </span></strong></p> <p><strong>Water every other day.</strong></p>

<h2><strong>Tinda Seeds, Apple Gourd (Praecitrullus fistulosus)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 3 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Tinda also called "Indian squash", "round melon", "Indian round gourd" or "apple gourd" or "Indian baby pumpkin", is a squash-like cucurbit grown for its immature fruit, a vegetable especially popular in South Asia.</p> <p><strong>Distribution and use</strong></p> <p>The species is native to India and Pakistan and is cultivated in the north of both countries, where the ripe fruits are a popular vegetable. The harvest takes place before the seed husks harden. The fruits are cooked after removing the seeds, often together with lentils. They are also inserted. The seeds are eaten roasted. There are two different forms: one with light green fruits, which is generally preferred, and the other with dark green fruits.</p> <p>The plant is as with all cucurbits, a prolific vine, and is grown as an annual. The plant also is prickly with small thorns similar to the zucchini. The fruit is approximately spherical, and 5–8 cm in diameter The seeds may also be roasted and eaten. Tinda is a famous nickname among Punjabi families in India. This unique squash-like gourd is native to South Asia, very popular in Indian and Pakistani cooking with curry and many gourmet dishes. Green colored, apple-sized fruits are flattish round in shape and 50–60 grams in weight. Plants are vigorous, productive and begin to bear fruits in 70 days after planting.</p> <p>Tinda can be confused with tendli or kundru due to similar-sounding names from different languages and regions. Tinda in Punjabi or most North Indian languages are "Indian baby pumpkin".</p> <p>Tinda is considered a boring vegetable by many in North India – part of the reason is it is used in a lot of curries during high season and tastes bland unless used with a lot of spices. Further, its seeds are not favored by many. It is practically unknown in South India.</p>

Trees will do badly if waterlogged, but have greater tolerance of poor drainage than sweet varieties. As with sweet cherries, Morellos are traditionally cultivated by budding onto strong growing rootstocks, which produce trees too large for most gardens, although newer dwarfing rootstocks such as<span> </span><i>Colt</i><span> </span>and<span> </span><i>Gisella</i><span> </span>are now available.

They are usually grown as standards, but can be fan trained, cropping well even on cold walls, or grown as low bushes.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference">[9]</sup></p> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner"><img alt="Serbian morello cherry seeds (Prunus cerasus)" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Ripe_sour_cherries_on_a_branch.jpg/220px-Ripe_sour_cherries_on_a_branch.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="161" class="thumbimage" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Ripe_sour_cherries_on_a_branch.jpg/330px-Ripe_sour_cherries_on_a_branch.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Ripe_sour_cherries_on_a_branch.jpg 2x" data-file-width="430" data-file-height="314" title="Serbian morello cherry seeds (Prunus cerasus)" /> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"></div> Ripe sour cherries (Somogy,<span> </span>Hungary)</div> </div> </div> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner"><img alt="Serbian morello cherry seeds (Prunus cerasus)" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Black_Che.jpg/220px-Black_Che.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="163" class="thumbimage" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Black_Che.jpg/330px-Black_Che.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Black_Che.jpg/440px-Black_Che.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2944" data-file-height="2184" title="Serbian morello cherry seeds (Prunus cerasus)" /> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"></div> Ripe sour cherries and their leaves (Karaj,<span> </span>Iran)</div> </div> </div> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner"><img alt="Serbian morello cherry seeds (Prunus cerasus)" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a6/Owoce_Wi%C5%9Bnia.jpg/220px-Owoce_Wi%C5%9Bnia.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="220" class="thumbimage" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a6/Owoce_Wi%C5%9Bnia.jpg/330px-Owoce_Wi%C5%9Bnia.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a6/Owoce_Wi%C5%9Bnia.jpg/440px-Owoce_Wi%C5%9Bnia.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="1024" title="Serbian morello cherry seeds (Prunus cerasus)" /> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"></div> A sour cherry Beauty Sheet</div> </div> </div> <p>Sour cherries suffer fewer pests and diseases than sweet cherries, although they are prone to heavy fruit losses from<span> </span>birds.
