Beans (Bush Snap)
Provider Organic

Full sun to part shade
Seeding Depth: 1-2"
Plant Spacing: 2-3"
Row Spacing: 18-36
When to Sow
Days to maturity are from direct seeding. Direct seed after all danger of frost has passed. Optimal soil temperature for germination is 75-95°F. Beans are particularly sensitive to cool soils and are prone to rot if temperatures are below 55°F. White-seeded beans typically do not germinate as well as dark-seeded beans. Snap beans can be planted every 2-3 weeks for a continual harvest through mid-summer.
Other Consideration
When possible, wait for dry conditions before handling plants.
Frost Tolerant: No
Drought Tolerant
Even moisture is important, especially during flowering and fruit set. Lack of moisture may cause deformed pods.
Heat Tolerant
Pod set is poor when temperatures exceed 90 degrees. |

Corn
Sugarpearl Organic
| 14 | 1' 1" | 11" x 1' 5" | Soil and Nutrient Requirements
Corn requires high fertility and deep, well drained fertile soils with a pH between 6.0-6.8. Corn can tolerate heavy soils. Corn is a heavy feeder, fertilize ground well in spring with high-quality compost or a complete fertilizer. For specific nutrient needs and application rate it is always best to have a soil test done before application. Side dress with fertilizer at 12, or when leaves start yellowing.
Position
Full sun
Seeding depth: 1-2
Plant Spacing
For early varieties 8-10 ; for main season crops 10-12
Row Spacing: for early varieties 30-36"; for main season crops 36. Plant each variety in blocks of at least 4 rows for adequate pollination.
When to Sow
Direct seed only after soil has warmed to 65°F, after all danger of frost has passed, to ensure germination. Optimal soil temperature for germination is 85°F. Corn can also be transplanted, which is becoming more common in regions with shorter growing seasons. Start transplants in small cells 3-4 weeks before planting date. Double up plants per cell to save space and increase final plant spacing to accommodate.
Plants are in pollination mode for 2 3 weeks from time of tassel.
Harvest when ear silks have dried down and when kernels are filled to the tip and have colored up. Corn is generally ready 18-24 days after first silk has formed. |
