I sent an email to Burpee asking when their Deck Corn hybrid would be available. This corn will grow in a pot on a deck which is why they named it that.

The seed will be available in December. I was checking their website every day to be sure I could get some so decided to write them. They sold out of that last year.

I have the same problem with Sunflower tubers. Can't get any now. I've found only one place to get the white variety that look like regular Russet potatoes, not the knobby smaller kind. I need to send that place an email asking about them.

After planting all the seed I did under the grow lamp, I remembered this morning I forgot to put the giant Zinnia seed in cups under that light so did that this morning.

That grow lamp on that stand is the best thing I have done to get seeds started without critters eating them. I just flipped the switch when I got up today instead of having to go outside and move the cups into the sun and then worry they would get eaten, then move them out of the sun when it got too hot and cover them up again so they wouldn't get eaten.

I’m sorry to hear that about the tuber flowers. I’d been looking with no success also.

I had not realized there was such a thing as the Deck Corn hybrid. I hope you are able to procure some for yourself.

I appreciate the report on the grow lamp. It sounds like a good solution for that phase of growing the seeds.

I sent an email to Burpee ~

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but whenever I ordered from Burpee, I ended up with excess spam in my email for about 6 months. I've seen the same with Gurneys. IMO- they sell email addresses on the side.

Growing things is one thing, but "Viagra from Canada" ads can get annoying after awhile............
