SEED GARLIC - Availabe for fall 2016 planting.
If you see the following garlic harvesting and storage instructions please do not follow: "In late summer, bend over tops to hasten yellowing and drying of tops. Pull up the plants and allow to dry in the sun a few hours. Spread out in a well-ventilated place until tops are thoroughly dry (2 - 3 weeks). Cut tops off 1-2" above bulbs, or braid tops together into strings. Store loose bulbs in a dry, cool, airy place in baskets; hang garlic strings".

FLOUR CORN
Tuscarora Flour Corn HEIRLOOM 120 days
It is used almost exclusively for corn flour. The plants are 6 to 8 feet tall, and produce 12 inch red cobs with 8 rows of large white kernels. The young corn can be used as sweet corn. The flour resultant from the mature kernels is white and extremely soft. Originally domesticated by Mesoamericans, it is a staple food with many other traditional uses. Plant seeds 1 inch deep in rows or clumps, two weeks after the last frost date. Corn needs rich soil, full sun and adequate moisture to produce good ears. It is wind pollinated, so if you want to save seed, you will need to either stagger the planting time of different varieties, or plant them 1/4 mile apart. Water deeply.
