Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil and 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 and 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 and 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.

I have grown cherokee long ear popcorn for two years now, and it has performed beautifully. This year alot of the plants have three ears, some have four, and one plant even has six good sized ears. This is in a new plot with very little fertilizer and attention.
Having read Carol Deppe's book The Resilient Gardener, where she dedicates a whole section to the breeding of corn, I'm extra impressed with the obvious genetic diversity of this variety. I had good germination - all planted at once in mid May - yet ripening varied over the course of a month, as did ear size (though some of that could have been low fertilization on my part). The ears are stunning, and very few are alike. HUGE genetic diversity. It took a long time to mature (harvested the last of it in mid October). It's shucked and drying in my greenhouse now, so we haven't eaten it yet, but look forward to popping it, and saving seed to plant again.
This has been my first experience with Peaceful Valley, and I am sold! All my popcorn has sprouted and looks very healthy. I look forward to purchasing more through PV next season!!
Not sure what happened to this popcorn but it did not germinate at all. I have been gardening for over thirty years and this has never happpen. Still trying to figure out what went wrong.
Growing popcorn takes time, since you need to let the outside of the ears dry before picking then let the kernels dry before removing them from the cob. But, the flavor of the popped corn is wonderfully rich. It actually tastes like corn with a hint of buttery flavor. This is definitely something you don't find in the grocery store.
Let customers speak for us
from 9285 reviewsI've bought this variety of garlic from Grow Organic for the past three years - the quality and yield is always excellent.
No complain about this garlic.
Few days after shoot out of the ground and looks exelente!
The tree arrived securely, and I immediately planted it in a 5 galon pot. It is thriving now, and I hope to plant it in the ground probably next year, or the year after the next. Four different olive varieties that I bought three years ago from this same site are already bearing much olives, from which I cured many jars and I am already enjoying them. This website is my first trusted venue to buy trees that I could not find in the nursery store.
Planted these radishes late in the season and they are wonderful
The nasturtiums that I planted last season from Grow Organic are still blooming in November! I love the variety of colors
I really appreciate this softneck garlic!!
Thanks for the great and fast order,
The chickens really like the trsti g ot so I know to cover the larger rows
I was pleasantly surprised how perfect my Shallots came. They were very plump and no blemishes or tears in the outer skin. Would definitely purchase from Grow Organic again and will recommend to friends and neighbors.
We love this garlic. We've planted this variety several years in a row and haven't been disappointed. It's a great producer and has a flavor we love. We've watered and have gotten some rain here in Eastern Kansas and it is up and looking beautiful. Looking forward to harvest!
I was surprised@how big the shallots are! I can't tell if I need to break them apart? I'm fixing to plant them. The garlic is all in the ground on time, the deer try to eat the tender little green tops poking thru the soil
Nice, large bulbs with nice cloves for planting. Excellent quality.
...always order it.
This garlic arrived quickly. All large, healthy looking cloves. Sprouted after about 7 days and is approximately 6 inches tall at the moment
They arrived in perfect condition. Planted, and now we wait.
You won't be disappointed. I promise
Nice sized bulbs all in good shape!
