Characteristics of Organic Dakota Black Popcorn:

Growing Organic Dakota Black Popcorn:
Growing your own organic Dakota Black Popcorn is a rewarding experience. Here's how you can get started:
Select a Suitable Location: Choose a sunny spot in your garden or outdoor space with well-draining soil. Popcorn plants thrive in full sunlight.
Prepare the Soil: Prior to planting, prepare the soil by amending it with organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure. This will provide essential nutrients and improve soil structure.
Planting: Sow the Dakota Black Popcorn seeds directly into the soil when the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to around 50-60°F (10-15°C). Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and 4-6 inches apart in rows.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering, as popcorn plants are susceptible to root rot in waterlogged conditions.
Fertilization: Popcorn plants benefit from a balanced, organic fertilizer. Apply a side dressing of compost or a suitable organic fertilizer when the plants are a few inches tall.
Maintenance: Popcorn plants typically require minimal care. Ensure they receive adequate sunlight, and watch for common garden pests, such as aphids or earworms. Implement organic pest control methods if needed.
Harvesting: Dakota Black Popcorn is ready to harvest when the kernels have dried on the cob. This usually occurs when the plants are brown and the kernels are hard. Carefully remove the cobs from the plants and store them in a cool, dry place until you're ready to pop the kernels.
Ways to Enjoy Dakota Black Popcorn:
Traditional Popping: Pop the Dakota Black Popcorn kernels in an air popper, stovetop popcorn maker, or microwave. Serve with a sprinkle of your favorite seasoning or a drizzle of melted butter.
Gourmet Flavors: Elevate your popcorn experience by experimenting with gourmet seasonings, such as truffle oil and Parmesan cheese or chili lime seasoning.
Caramel Corn: Transform Dakota Black Popcorn into a sweet treat by making homemade caramel corn. The dark kernels add a unique twist to this classic snack.
Trail Mix: Incorporate popped Dakota Black Popcorn into your favorite trail mix for a satisfying crunch and rich flavor.
Decorative Use: The deep black kernels of Dakota Black Popcorn can be used decoratively in crafts, centerpieces, or as a unique addition to gift baskets.
Organic Dakota Black Popcorn seeds offer a gourmet popcorn experience that's both visually striking and rich in flavor. Growing your own Dakota Black Popcorn allows you to enjoy this unique snack straight from your garden while savoring the benefits of organic, chemical-free cultivation. Explore the world of Dakota Black Popcorn and elevate your popcorn game with its distinctive appearance and nutty taste.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Corn is a heavy feeder requiring high amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK). Its weak and shallow root system likes loose soil with a high compost content.
Planting & Growing: Sow seeds directly outdoors 1 week after the last frost. You can start earlier by using black or green plastic mulches and floating row covers to obtain optimum conditions. Plant in blocks rather than rows to ensure good germination. To prevent cross-pollination, plant different varieties at least 500'.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest the ears when husks have dried and kernels are plump, well-colored, and shiny. Husk and dry cobs in a cool, well-ventilated space. After one month, test-pop a few kernels every few days until successful. Remove kernels from cobs and store in dark containers.

Let customers speak for us
I grow this in old litter boxes for a bunny & Guinea pig rescue- it is a great treat! Grows fast, thick and moist. I also grow it in my catio for my cats
High quality saffron corms that shipped when they said they would. They started sprouting in my cabinet within a week so definitely plant them quickly after receiving.
They looked good when the plants arrived. Waiting for planters to transplant so they'll have more room, but not planting in the garden to avoid the mint from spreading all over. They're still alive....
Beautiful seed garlic
This tree takes a lot of patience, both in years to fully fruit out and in terms of how late in the season the peaches finally ripen, - the end of September here in zone 5b, - but boy are they amazing when they come in! I have two other peach trees, - Redhaven and Reliance, which have wonderful fruit, but these Indian Free White peaches are amazing. The aroma alone is incredible. These also have thicker skins, more "fuzz," which you can rub off, and are a bit on the acidic side, but OH so yummy! I have gotten raves from the farmers who tried them.
Been using this for last couple growing season. Works wonders for the garden.
This hose gets dragged over bark and around raised garden beds, and also over concrete and a weedy hillside to water a couple trees. So far it has performed well and there aren't any leaks or kinks!
I have not had a chance to plant these yet as it’s still a little early. Package came quickly and garlic was beautiful, can’t wait to plant it.
This is a great addition to my veg garden area!
These branch supports work well, are sturdy, and relatively cheap. While you do have to provide your own poles, you can buy wooden or metal ones of your needed length at hardware or home improvement stores. We ordered ten at first and then bought ten more after seeing how the first ones worked.
Of course I wanted a hand made wooden trug, but they are expensive! This plastic one is easy to clean, and the perfect size. I love the drainage holes.
No lightweight nonsense here! These are the one of the industry standards in tree pots and they have become our go to on the tree farm. You will find lightweight look-a-likes out there, but most only serve one time use. These have held up for years and been used multiple times in some cases.
This has become one of my new favorites for all around propagation. From seeds to cuttings we use this mix for our fig trees and have had unbelievable success. The mix is formulated for strong and fast root development. No complaints about it!
These trays are great. Everything is ready to go.
I use them for cuttings and seed starting and haven't been disappointed yet.
I had the frustration of having my dog dig up my citrus trees and figs out of their containers. I was furious. This granular repellent has stopped the dog completely. So now, the dog can stay.
