 Park Seed

 

 

 

Straight from England "Never Waste a Seed Again! This is an easy to use accurate, low-tech approach to picking up and releasing even dust-sized seeds.   The seeds feed through a needle, which is color-coded so that you know which seeds belong in which sized needle. (The seeder comes with three sizes, plus a long list of suitable seeds for each size!) Just snap the needle onto the syringe, dump your seeds out onto the storage cap, and use the rubber bulb to pick up and then release the seeds one by one. It's that easy.

Now you can start your favorite vegetables and flowers indoors, for earlier crops at a fraction of the cost of buying plants.  This little powerhouse from Holland bears almost no resemblance to other seed kit.  The seedlings in Park's Bio Dome with 40 Jumbo Cells grow to a uniform height and width, thanks to the spacious distance between each growing cell. And their growing medium -- the Bio Sponge -- encourages root growth downward, NOT in an upward spiral that eventually strangles the plant!  Before and after germination, your seeds receive just as much light, water, heat, and air circulation as they need, thanks to the adjustable vents and bottom-tray watering design of the Bio Dome. This environment offers such great growth conditions to the emerging seedlings

 Park's Original Bio Dome

Just the gourd to grow for a child's class, a craft project, or holiday decorating. Gold-Flecked Green Gourd Looks Just Like a Swan! Beautiful coloring!, shaped just like a full-bodied, long-necked swan. The neck even produces a small terminal bulb just before the tem, suggesting a head! This green lagenaria gourd grows easily and in great abundance. Sow seeds directly in full sun after the soil has warmed. Train the vine onto a trellis or fence to save space and to produce neater, more rounded shapes.
