Teaming with Fungi

The Organic Grower's Guide to Mycorrhizae

By Jeff Lowenfels

“Accomplishes what few other books have—helping growers use mycorrhizae to improve the immune systems of plants. This natural union between plants and fungi is the foundation of our food web.” —Paul Stamets, author of Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World

Teaming with Fungi is an important guide to mycorrhizae and the role they play in agriculture, horticulture, and hydroponics. Almost every plant in a garden forms a relationship with fungi, and many plants would not exist without their fungal partners. By better understanding this relationship, home gardeners can take advantage of the benefits of fungi, which include an increased uptake in nutrients, resistance to drought, earlier fruiting, and more. This must-have guide will teach you how fungi interact with plants and how to best to employ them in your home garden.

Snapdragons are one of the classic annual flowers that every gardener should experiment with. These 3′ tall plants are a bright accent in the garden and also make excellent cut flowers. Flower color mostly ranges from dark-cherry red to peach-orange red, defiantly throwing out the occasional bright yellow plant. This mix will not settle for the authority of uniformity. We think of it as a beautiful mix of reds with the possibility of surprises. One of the coolest things about snapdragons is that the seed pods look like little upside-down skulls when seed is ripe. Blooms from July through September and is deer resistant.

After an exhaustive search for open-pollinated pie pumpkins across the internet and Seed Savers Exchange, Adaptive Seeds gathered 11 varieties, some heirlooms without descriptions. To explore their potential, they were grown together allowing them to cross, resulting in the Pumpkin Pie Party Mix! These fruits possess the classic color and shape of pie pumpkins, most weighing 2-7 lbs some as large as 10 lbs. Each variety was hand-picked for its taste. While there are some slight variations in flavor, flesh color, and texture, all of these pumpkins make for exceptional pies. Their parentage includes; Big Red California, Hondo Small Sugar Pumpkin, New England Sugar Pie, Paarman Sugar Pumpkin, Winter Luxury, Early Sweet Sugar Pie, and more, along with Cinnamon Girl PMR F1.
