🐄 Happy cows munching on the Sun Hemp & Cowpea cover crop @thefortfl
🫛 As they say... "The early COW gets the COWPEA!"
⭐ Here's to avoiding the mid-day starlight with some SERIOUS siestas in-between work sessions. Our full Florida sun is no joke, folks.
🚜 Thank you JJ for the gigantic piles of mulch!
🥀 Flowers featured are "Red Cockscomb Celosia", or "Red Wool Flower":
🌿 Cockscomb celosia is a fast-growing, heat-tolerant, amaranth relative grown as an edible, nutritious, leafy vegetable & ornate ornamental. Find seed packets at seedthestars.etsy.com
🐔 Vibrant red flowers resemble a rooster's crested head. Avoid pruning the main stem to achieve the full ornamental expression of the velvety “cockscomb” flower structure.
🐝 Celosia attracts diverse pollinators & beneficial predatory insects in to the garden.
🫘 Sunlight is required for optimal germination; sow shallowly by firmly pressing seeds into the moist soil surface & lightly cover with a sprinkling of soil media.
🌱 Other plants featured in the garden are: Nigerian Spinach, Angled Luffa, Roselle, Surinam Spinach & Ashwagandha.

🏆 Hacking open PREMIUM Seminole Pumpkins grown by @seedthestars at @thefortfl
🧡 We have spent the last few seasons selecting seeds from our largest, roundest, deepest orange colored pumpkins with THICK walls & an outstandingly RICH flavor... Some larger pumpkins were nearly solid, yielding an IMPRESSIVE amount of food per-fruit. "I like them round, thick, & JUICY!" - @sir_mix.a.lot
🌴 Our deepest gratitude goes to the "Indigenous peoples of Florida" who originally stewarded this diverse landrace.
😋 With a LEGENDARY taste that’s SWEETER than a Butternut, Seminole Pumpkins are well adapted to hot, humid, subtropical-climates with a resistance to Downy Mildew & Squash Vine Borers!
🌱 In Central Florida, Seminole Pumpkin plants grow best in early Spring, in full to partial sun with high airflow.
💪 Help plants grow new roots along the vines by burying nodes with compost & avoiding trellises.
🌼 Pumpkin plants have separate male & female flowers that are pollinated by insects, HOWEVER, they shoukd be hand pollinated to maximize pumpkin production in your patch!
🐝 Male “staminate” flowers are slender-stemmed & emerge for the first several flushes of flowers, while female “pistillate” flowers bloom later on with a small unfertilized fruit at its base.

We recently made our last big tip prune on the row of 'Nigerian Jute Leaf/ Nigerian Spinach' as the plants are just starting to flower.
The species is a Nigerian variety of Corchorus olitorius, commonly known in Florida as 'Egyptian Spinach' or referred to by the dish made by the leaves known as "Molokhiya".
We made the Nigerian traditional dish Ewedu, by boiling and then blending the leaves to make a delicious nutritious soup that we poured over rice.

"I'm Kelli with Seed the Stars, and this is (us harvesting) the Orange Bulldog Pumpkin patch @thefortfl !"
🎃***WARNING***🎃
These 10- 12 pumpkins plants yielded over 70 pumpkins and had vines over 20 feet. Be sure to plan for enough grow space or limit how many plants you grow at a time if you have a smaller garden. The pumpkins in this video were cared for with organic practices by Florida seed savers focused on supporting regionally grown seeds.
🌱Our Florida 'Orange Bulldog Pumpkin' seeds are restocked and are now available at seedthestars.etsy.com.
