As the plant grows, pinch away the suckers sprouting between the main stem and branches. Direct your watering to the base of the plant rather than the foliage, and provide sturdy staking — this keeps leaves and fruit elevated, promotes airflow, and simplifies harvest time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaving Your Own Seed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBecause tomatoes typically self-pollinate, we space our varieties 35–50 feet apart as an extra safeguard against stray insect cross-pollination. You'll know seeds are ready to save once the fruit itself is ripe for eating. Slice through the fruit's midsection and work the seeds and surrounding gel out of each chamber into a container. Add just enough water to cover everything, then set the mixture aside out of the sun to ferment for several days, stirring once daily. Afterward, top off with fresh water and give it a final stir — the good seeds will settle while debris floats to the top for pouring off. You may need to repeat this rinsing step a few times until the water stays clear. Once clean, wring the seeds dry in a cloth and spread them across a labeled screen or paper to air-dry for one to two weeks in a shaded, breezy spot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Truelove Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58127431532704,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1046\/6014\/0192\/files\/D8B77F3A-FF8A-4C88-A0A1-99FEAD3C3508.jpg?v=1782961267"},{"product_id":"callaloo-amaranth-seeds","title":"Callaloo (Amaranth) Seeds","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Caribbean staple, straight from the garden\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWith smooth, bright leaves and tender young stems soft enough to steam, this callaloo variety brings a taste of the Caribbean to your backyard.

You can expect seeds to sprout within 10–20 days, followed by vigorous growth. For an early start, sow indoors 2–4 weeks before your last frost, keeping seeds lightly covered in trays or pots placed in a greenhouse or sunny spot. Once the frost danger has passed and soil temperatures rise, transplant seedlings outdoors, spacing them 1–2 feet apart. On our own farm, self-seeded plants often grow thick enough that we harvest many tender young plants whole at around 12 inches, which naturally thins the bed — while plants left to mature get roughly 2 feet of space in every direction. As callaloo matures, it develops a deep pink taproot that helps it withstand dry spells, along with sturdy, bushy branching growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaving Your Own Seed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBecause callaloo relies on wind for pollination, it can readily cross with other amaranth varieties. To keep seed pure, maintain at least 500 feet of isolation, or cover flower heads with corn tassel bags. You'll know seeds are ready when they begin falling naturally from the seed head after the flower fades. You can either cut the entire seed head and hang it somewhere dry and well-ventilated to finish maturing, or shake the still-attached seed head every couple of days, since seeds ripen unevenly from the base upward. Either method, shake the seed head over a bucket to collect the seeds, then run them through a strainer to remove larger debris. Finish by winnowing away lighter chaff using your breath, a breeze, or a fan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Truelove Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58127432056992,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1046\/6014\/0192\/files\/16C8B0EA-8BCB-4C55-8E0F-85D21423058B.jpg?v=1782961205"},{"product_id":"scotch-bonnet-pepper-seeds","title":"Scotch Bonnet Pepper Seeds","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiery heat, deep-rooted flavor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eScotch Bonnet peppers bring serious heat and hold a central place in West African and Caribbean kitchens, where they're essential to hot sauces, jerk chicken, and countless other beloved dishes.

Keep in mind that peppers span several distinct species, so it's worth double-checking scientific names when saving seed. You'll know Scotch Bonnet seeds are ready to harvest once the fruits reach their mature color — a vivid, fiery orange. Slice the pepper open, scrape out the seeds, and spread them on a labeled screen or paper in a well-ventilated, shaded space to dry for one to two weeks. Gloves are strongly recommended for handling!

The seeds we offer come from a local farmer we know, who grows shoko specifically for a Liberian customer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMaturity: 30–60 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSeeds per pack: 275\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGermination: 78% (as of 06\/25\/2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSeeds typically germinate within 8–14 days, followed by rapid growth. On our farm, celosia readily self-seeds year after year, and we thin seedlings to give each plant roughly 2 feet of space in all directions. Harvest flower spikes as they reach maturity, and let side branches continue blooming for a steady, ongoing harvest right up until the first frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaving Your Own Seed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCelosia relies on wind for pollination, so isolate plants by at least 500 feet — or cover flowers with corn tassel bags — to prevent unwanted crossing with other celosia varieties of the same species. Seeds are ready to collect once they begin dropping naturally from the seed head, which happens after the flower fades. You can cut the entire head and hang it in a dry, well-ventilated space to finish drying and maturing, or shake the seed head directly on the plant every couple of days, since seeds along the head ripen unevenly, starting from the base and moving upward. Either approach, shake the seed head over a bucket to collect the seeds, then strain out larger debris. Finish by winnowing away the lighter chaff using your breath, a light breeze, or a fan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Truelove Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58127434154144,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1046\/6014\/0192\/files\/IMG-7256.heic?v=1782960977"}],"url":"https:\/\/agbata-shop.myshopify.com\/collections\/collection-0.oembed","provider":"Agbata","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
