Preparing your field should be based around your particular conditions. Many fields that have not been worked for quite some time may require a deep plowing to begin, then subsequent disking and harrowing to smooth out the rest of the field. The end ...
After 5 years of R&D field trials and a few years of full-on production, we've learned a few things about field preparations. Take a few lessons from co-owner Eric Crawford on how to get your fields in tip-top shape before you plant. Subscri...
One of the most unique aspects of our varieties are their early finishing times. If plants reach their sexual maturity by mid-July (northern hemisphere), they will be ready to harvest by mid-September. This groundbreaking advancement allows for canna...
