Daisy - White Buttons
The Daisy White Buttons, 'Chrysanthemum paludosum', has masses of small 1/2 to 1 inch white flowers with yellow centers that bloom for months and months. The bright white flowers look radiant in the light of a full moon. There are so many flowers, it is hard to see the foliage. They bloom continually from spring until fall. Shear the White Buttons Daisy back in mid summer to encourage better fall bloom. The White Buttons Daisy prefers full sun. The White Buttons prefers moist, rich, well drained soil and needs to be kept well watered. Cut spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Plant in early spring, 2 to 3 weeks before the average last frost date. The White Buttons Daisy makes excellent cut flowers and is used in window boxes, pots, rock gardens and as an edging plant. ... additional information
Corn - Honey & Cream Honey and Cream allows gardeners with small plots or gardeners in northern climates to enjoy this wonderful flavor. It is great fresh and Honey and Cream can be canned or frozen. Plant in the spring, a week or two after the last spring frost or when the soil is warm. In the deep south, this can be as early as February. Successive plantings in two week intervals will produce a much longer cropping season. Harvest the ears when the husks are dark green and the silks are brown but not brittle. Corn is usually ready 3 weeks after silks appear.
