6. Belenzian Crambe seed
A fine, firm seedbed is required for even germination and vigorous seedling growth
Harvest
Maturity three months. Plants erect, uniform, .6-1m (3.28 feet) tall at maturity. Tolerant of chilling and temperate summers
When crambe fruits approach maturity, the leaves turn yellow and drop; a few days later the fruits and small branches turn straw-colored. When the last seed-bearing branches have turned color, the crop is ready to harvest.
Crambe has orthodox seeds with usually about 4 months dormancy. Once the dormancy is broken, the seeds take 1–2 weeks to germinate at temperatures of 10–20°C. Germination is retarded below 8°C and inhibited below 5°C. Early growth is rapid. Plants reach the 2-leaf stage 6–12 days after germination and the 6-leaf stage after 15–27 days. Inflorescence develop from the 10–13th node upwards. Flowering starts 33–42 days after germination. Crambe is mainly self-pollinated, but about 15% cross-pollination occurs. Leaf growth virtually stops soon after flowering and the onset of anthesis generally coincides with maximum leaf area index and biomass accumulation rate. (Anthesis is the period during which a flower is fully open and functional)
Early senescence of the foliage is a major factor in the low yield capacity of crambe, especially because the surface area of the fruits is small and can intercept only at most 25–35% of incident radiation. Physiological maturity is reached after about 80 days.

faro Quinoa (Pedros select) Bountiful gardens Chenopodium quinoa
PLANTING DEPTH: 1/4" APPROXIMATE GERMINATION DAYS: 3-4
Spacing 12"
Height 4-6'/ DAYS TO MATURITY: 108-120
Related to lambsquarters, beets and spinach.Cook like rice or millet. most quinoa is from the high Andes and won't consistently perform well at lower elevations.
Excessive water will kill it and it is extremely drought tolerant. Quinoa is naturally covered with a bitter tasting soapy substance called saponin.
This coating must be washed away before quinoa can be eaten, This can easily be done in small quantities by putting it in a blender with cool water and running at slow speed. The water is replaced until it no longer foams (is soapy). For larger quantities, seed can be placed in a sealed cloth bag and run through a washing machine (without detergent), until the soapy coating is gone
