When to Detassel Corn ?

When to detassel corn?” is a common search, so we’re putting this section here to catch some of you before it’s too late. The short answer: you shouldn’t—unless you’re running a seed-corn field.

Farmers typically detassel when tassels just emerge from the plant, but for gardeners, there’s no benefit. Your best bet is to encourage good pollination instead:

Plant corn in blocks (several short rows rather than one long one).

Keep plants well-watered during tasseling.

Consider gently shaking the stalks to help pollen fall onto the silks.

If you did not plant in blocks or are otherwise worried you don’t have enough pollen, you can always hand-pollinate.

So, in summary, just leave those guys where they are.  You’re going to be thanking them later.

Tomato Flowers Falling Off?

Blossom drop can feel like a mystery—one minute your tomato plant is covered in flowers, the next it’s dropping them with no fruit in sight. But as we’ve seen, there’s almost always a reason, and in many cases, a fix.

Whether it’s stress from heat, cramped roots, inconsistent watering, or just a case of an overachieving variety, taking a closer look at your plant’s environment—and your growing habits—can often reveal the culprit.

And remember: even the most experienced gardeners run into this. If you’re dealing with flower drop, you’re in good company.

Why Peppers Vary in Heat — Even on the Same Plant

If you’ve ever bitten into a Shishito pepper, you know the thrill—and the gamble. Most of the time, you get a mild, smoky, almost citrusy bite. But every so often, one lights your mouth on fire. Gardeners, chefs, and home cooks alike call it the “Shishito roulette.”

This unpredictability isn’t just folklore—it’s backed by science. A 2021 study in Molecular Genetics and Genomics (Kondo et al.) investigated why some Shishito peppers are mild while others pack a punch, even when they come from the same plant. By analyzing capsaicinoid levels and the expression of heat-related genes, the researchers confirmed that the variability isn’t random chance but the result of complex genetic and developmental factors.

In other words, that “one in ten” spicy Shishito is plant science at play.

Just darn delicious but expensive so I add them to a mix of all raw different kinds of nuts. Very fresh.

Roy Peterson

They are Delisios

Excellent seeds! I was a first time hydroponics grower and I tried these seeds. Everything came up except the choices, which was probably because of something I did. Great tasting, healthy herbs! I was able to use the fresh herbs within 3-4 weeks of planting!

Joseph Wood

These seeds produced over a hundred plants per package. Produce is great in growth and quality.

I have purchased these seeds for the second year in a row. I seeded a 300 foot fence line and it is filled with beautiful zinnias! So easy! I get fresh flowers for my home and flowers to share all summer.

I am a huge greek yogurt early, like daily with raisens and granola. I decided I needed to lose a few pounds and read online reviews about how chia seeds make you feel full. So I purchased some and add about 2 tsp stirred into my yogurt and yummm!! I haven’t made a pudding yet but plan to. Great product, fresh and easy to use.
