antsinmypants's Plant List: Collected or purchased 2022

A note from antsinmypants
Feel free to ask about anything in my list you may be interested in. I'm always looking to trade. Just because something isn't in my want list doesn't necessarily mean I don't want it & just because something I have isn't marked for trade doesn't mean it isn't available for trade. I stay busy so don't always get around to updating.

Sweet purple berries are great fresh or cooked. These make wonderful pies, jams, jellies, and other sweets! They are much like Wonderberry but are larger in size and give heavier yields. Very easy to cultivate and you can have fresh fruit to harvest in as little as 70 days.

With a bright bull's eye on the tip of each flower, these funky little flowers look great in a border, especially when planted en masse. As potent as they are beautiful, these flowers pack a punch.

Start indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost. Light speeds germination.

Zones 10-11.

A far cry from the canned baby corn you may have tried. Those who have enjoyed fresh baby corn cobs know how spectacular they are, crunchy and sweet, a perfect addition to soups and stirfry. Here is an opportunity to grow your very own baby corn for authentic Asian recipes or your own culinary experimentation. Plants stand 4-5 feet tall, producing 3-4 stalks per plant, and up to 40 ears per plant. Harvest ears 5 days after silks appear for fresh baby sweet corn. You can eat them raw, steamed, in soup or in stir fry, or dry for popcorn.

75-90 days.
