Onions/Seed Potatoes/Mushroom Kits

Grow your own gourmet mushrooms on your kitchen counter or a shelf in your home! Simply cut a slit in the plastic bag, mist daily and harvest your fresh gourmet mushrooms within two weeks! This kit contains a block of live oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) mycelium. The mycelium is living inside a special filter bag that keeps it healthy and dormant. To activate the block simply give it fresh air by cutting a slit in the bag. The slit is where the mushrooms will grow from. Daily care for the kit includes misting frequently with water and keeping it out of direct sunlight. The kit can give you 2 - 4 harvests of mushrooms. Between harvest simply soak in water for a few hours and let it grow again. Oyster Kit Instructions: Step 1: Open Open the paper bag and remove the plastic bag containing your mushroom block. Cut a long slit on one side of the plastic bag from corner to corner. KEEP THE BLOCK INSIDE OF THE PLASTIC BAG. Step 2: Place Find a good spot for your block to live for the next few weeks. An ideal spot would be in the most humid part of your house on a counter top or shelf. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from drafts or heaters. Stand the bag up and the mushrooms will grow from the slit. Step 3: Care Use a spray bottle to mist around the slit of your block and prevent it from drying out. Misting daily should be plenty while you wait for mushrooms to appear. Mist a few times a day once mushrooms start to appear. If the environment around the block is extremely dry (winter) use the provided humidity tent. Set the tent over the block and mist inside the tent to create a humid environment. * Ideal humidity is 90% when the block is getting ready to pin and 70% as the mushrooms are growing. Try to maintain light condensation inside the grow tent. Remove the tent once the mushrooms are almost full size. * Do not put the block inside of an enclosure that will restrict fresh air. Oyster mushrooms require a fair amount of fresh air exchange to develop large caps. Limiting fresh air will cause long stems and small caps. Step 4: Harvest Now the exciting part! Typically between 1 - 3 weeks you should start to see little mushroom pins starting to poke out of the slit in your bag. Mist multiple times a day and make sure the mushrooms are not drying out. Thing move fast from here and in about 4 days you will have full sized mushrooms ready to pick and eat! Pick when the caps are big and open and before the caps fully flatten out and the edges of the caps start to crack. Step 5: Rehydrate After you have harvested the mushrooms simply continue misting daily and within 3 weeks you should get an additional flush of mushrooms. If at any point the block seems really dry you can soak it in a large pot of cold tap water overnight to rehydrate it. You can get 2 - 4 flushes of mushrooms from this block. * You may not need to soak between the first and second flush. Try not to exceed 8 hours when soaking.

Kennebec are a mid-season maturing potato that are oblong with white skin and flesh. They are great for boiling, baking or frying. McKenzie Seeds only uses Certified Seed Potatoes grown in Canada. Product of Canad Plant Type: Seed Potatoes Grows Best In: Full Sun Day to Maturity: 100-110days Planting Depth: 8-12 cm or 3-5" Plant Spacing In Row: 30-40 cm or 12-16" Plant Spacing Between Row: 60 cm or 24" Product Weight: 680 grams or 1.5 lbs. Product of Canada Product Information Potatoes can be grown in a wide variety of soils, but do best in deep, fertile, well drained loam. Plant in a sunny location and keep soil moist throughout the growing season. Avoid planting in heavy clay soil. 1. Sow seed potatoes as soon as the soil is warm enough to cultivate. Large seed potatoes may be divided, but each portion must contain two to three eyes. Plant with eyes pointing up (cut side down) 8-12 cm (3-5”) deep and 30-40 cm (12-16”) apart in the row. Rows should be 60 cm (24”) apart. 2. Once plants are 20-30 cm (8-12”) tall, hoe 10-15 cm (4-6”) of soil around plants to create hills. Hills of soil around the base of the potato plants help to preserve moisture and protect tubers from being exposed to sunlight which turns them to green. 3. Potatoes may be harvested as soon as tubers are large enough to use. Potatoes must be harvested when tops yellow and die down. 4. Dry potatoes on the ground for 2-3 hours after harvesting (if weather is fine) so skin will harden before storage. Store potatoes in a cool, dark place. Ideal storing temperature is between 3-5º C(35-40º F).
