2-in-1 Double Delicious Apple Tree

Gurney's carries premium treated seed for all our sweet corn varieties. Treated seed offers several benefits, including enhanced germination and vigor. The seeds' hard coating protects the seed until the soil reaches the proper temperature, thus allowing for earlier planting. The coating also protects against disease and fungus. Treated seed also flows more smoothly through planters, allowing easy planting of large pots.

Treated seeds provide extra protection against cold, wet early-spring weather. They also ensure better germination as well as enhanced resistance to soil-borne diseases and fungi, so you can enjoy growing success.

When choosing varieties, keep in mind that "determinates" ripen over 3-4 weeks on bushy vines that do not need staking. "Indeterminate" vines continue to grow and produce fruit up until frost, their large vines needing support.

Key to tomato disease/pest resistance:
V= Verticillium Wilt Disease
F= Fusarium Wilt Race I
FF= Fusarium Wilt Race I & II
N= Root-Knot Nematodes (a soil-dwelling pest common in the south)
T= Tobacco Mosaic Virus
Ty= Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl
Tsw= Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus

Fill a tray with 1-2" of growing media such as vermiculite or a quality seed starting mix. For a no-mess option, plant seed on a hydroponic grow pad. Moisten media. Spread seeds evenly over the surface. Lightly cover the seeds with growing media. Mist with a spray bottle. Cover the growing tray with a plastic dome or another tray to retain moisture. (Microgreens do not need light while germinating but will need light once seedlings emerge.)

Keep seeds moist, but not wet, and remove the plastic covering as soon as seedlings emerge. Set tray near a sunny window or under grow lights.

Microgreens are ready to harvest when they have two leaves at the top of their stems. Harvest as required, cutting the stems about 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the rooting surface. Microgreens are eaten as young seedlings, when they are full of flavor and high in nutrients. They are quick and easy to grow. You can grow fresh microgreens all year round indoors.

Grow sprouts indoors using a seed sprouter. Soak seeds in water for 8-10 hours. It is normal for the seeds to swell. Empty the seeds into your sprouting tray, rinse and drain thoroughly. Set your sprouter anywhere out of direct sunlight. Rinse and drain two to three times a day with cool water. Seeds will be ready to eat in 3-6 days depending on variety.

It is recommended that sprouts be grown indoors using a seed sprouting tray, jar or other sprouting device. Sprouts grow best between 65° F and 75° F. No sunlight is required; however, sunlight results in greener sprouts.

When sprouts are ready for eating, rinse off excess hulls and drain thoroughly. Transfer sprouts to a plastic bag or reusable sealed container and refrigerate.
