The Witch Hoarder is a pdf book that delves into the fascinating world of witchcraft and the accumulation of magical objects. The main idea behind this book is to explore the phenomenon of hoarding within the context of witchcraft and how it relates to the spiritual practice. The author begins by introducing the concept of hoarding and its various forms, such as compulsive hoarding and clutter hoarding. The main focus, however, is on hoarding within the witchcraft community and how it differs from traditional hoarding. The book then goes on to delve into the psychological and spiritual reasons behind why witches hoard magical objects. It explores the idea that these objects hold power and energy, and that by accumulating them, witches can tap into this power for their spells and rituals.

Most of the vegetable and herb plants we sell on this site can be grown outdoors throughout the Continental US - however it is important to transplant your starter plant at the right time based on the weather and climate in your area. Many of our herb plants can also be grown indoors so long as you have sufficient light and water. If you grow herbs indoors, you will still need to transplant your herb plants into properly sized containers with added potting mix.

In hot weather, vegetables need even more water, up to about a half an inch extra per week for every 10 degrees that the average temperature is above 60 degrees.

Green Magic Broccoli

Brassica oleracea (botrytis group)
(90 days) F-1 hybrid. As supplier/breeder Sakata dropped 30+ year farmer-fave Arcadia, we were already eyeing their late-summer to fall Green Magic. In our 2019 September taste test, royal taster Nikos was bewitched by Green Magic’s “full package”: rich nutty sweet stem and floret flavor, with tender texture that’s neither soft nor mealy. Compact 2' tall plant delivers a dark green semi-domed 6–8" head with medium-small tight bead. With the added magic of abundant side shoots, good heat tolerance and some resistance to downy mildew, this broccoli should keep you and your coven healthy wherever you practice the green arts. Tested negative for BR and BL. ⑤

Additional Information

Broccoli

• About 100-300 seeds/g. Average varies by cultivar.
• Days to maturity are from seedling emergence (subtract 20 days for transplants)

Culture: Start broccoli indoors March–May for setting out May–July, or direct-seed in May or June for fall crop. Easier as a fall crop because many varieties perform poorly in hot summers. For better stands in dry conditions sow in trenches and keep irrigated. Broccoli dislikes the extreme temperature and moisture fluctuations we have endured in recent seasons. Climate change is making it a challenge to grow even the more heat-tolerant varieties in the summer, while at the same time broadening opportunities in our longer more temperate falls.

Nutrition and disclaimer: Broccoli contains significant levels of sulforaphane, a substance that helps detoxify carcinogens from the body. Some years back, research indicating that broccoli seed sprouts are higher in sulforaphane than the vegetable itself caused a run on open-pollinated broccoli seeds. The broccoli seed we offer is seed grade, and it is not fit for human consumption as sprouts. It is not stored in food-safe sanitary conditions before it reaches us. For sprouting seed, please contact your natural foods supplier.

Disease: Head Rot
Cultural controls: use well-domed varieties, harvest heads when tight, cut stalks at an angle.

Brassicas

Days to maturity are from seedling emergence. Subtract 20 days for transplants.

Culture: Start brassicas indoors March-May for setting out May-July, or direct-seed in May, or in June for fall crop. Minimum germination soil temperature 40°, optimal range 55–85°. Easier grown for the fall because many varieties perform poorly in hot summers. For better stands in dry conditions, sow in trenches and keep irrigated. Wire hoops and row cover should be used at early stages to keep out flea beetles and swede midge.

Note: because of a rule issued by Oregon, we cannot ship brassica packets larger than ½ oz. (14 grams) into the Willamette Valley, except those that have tested negative for Black Leg and Black Rot. Check descriptions for information.

Diseases:

• BL: Blackleg
• BR: Black Rot
• BS: Bacterial Speck
• DM: Downy Mildew
• FW: Fusarium Wilt
• FY: Fusarium Yellows
• TB: Tipburn
• WR: White Rust

Swede Midge—not as cute as it sounds!

Alert! Heading brassicas in the Northeast are seeing consistent damage from swede midge, a tiny gall midge. Its effects result in a non-heading plant. Wire hoops and row cover at early stages of heading brassica crops are becoming crucial for success. Some research also suggests garlic sprays as a possible organic repellent. Consult your Cooperative Extension resources for further information.
