Imagine homegrown sesame seed, toasted and sprinkled over your favorite dish or freshly baked rolls. Kingoma Sesame is an ancient crop dating back thousands of years. Tropical like plants thrive in long, hot summers and are easy to grow. Begins flowering approximately 2 months from seeding with tubular-shaped flowers growing in clusters around the stem. Older flowers, located lower on the plant, produce the first seed pods while newer flowers begin to form above. This process continues throughout the growing season with each plant growing 3-4 feet. Multi-stemmed plants produce 1-2 inch pods with approximately 30 on each stem. Allow pods to dry on or off the plant. They are ready to harvest when the pods begin to split.

PLANTING

Sesame indicum

Annual

Germination: 7-12 days

Germination Temperature: Optimum soil temperatures 70-85ºF.

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/4” deep

Starting Indoors: 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Sow 2-3 seeds per cell/pot. Thin to the strongest seedling. Provide 70-85ºF soil temperature. Transplant after last frost,  6-12" apart in rows 12-24" apart. Do not overwater seedlings, let the soil dry out between waterings.

Sowing Outdoors: After the last frost when the soil temperature reaches at least 70ºF. Sow 5-6 seeds per foot, thin to 6-12" apart when they are 4" tall.

HarvestPods start ripening from the bottom of the plant and begin to split when they are ready to harvest. In a shorter growing season, you can cut the pod covered stems from the base and dry them indoors on a flat surface. Once the pods have opened collect the seeds by hitting the plants against the side of a container or over a cloth/tarp. Another way is to collect the green pods off the plant and place them in a paper bag until they are dried. 

TipsPlant Kingoma Sesame into average, well-drained soil. Keep well weeded. Do not overwater seedlings, allow the soil to dry out between waterings.

Right to the point without a lot of wordy fluff!
Format: Imitation Leather
I have tried a few other "daily devotional" books, but they were not what I was looking for in being "to the point" along with giving a couple scripture verses to get my day started. The day I received my copy, the devotion was about Salvation and two of the scriptures were from my two favorite chapters in the Bible. For me, that was a "God Moment"!

A Timeless Classic That Nourishes the Mind!
Format: Board book
Where to even begin with Eric Carle's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar"? This book has been a cornerstone of childhood for countless kids—and with good reason! First and foremost, the visual elements are stunning. Eric Carle’s unique collage technique brings the story to life in a way that instantly captures the attention of both young and older readers. His choice of bold, vibrant colors is just like eye-candy for the young ones. The tale itself is simple yet profound. A caterpillar eats its way through various foods, both healthy and not-so-healthy, growing bigger and ultimately transforming into a butterfly. On one level, it’s a delightful story about change and growth; on another, it subtly teaches children about the days of the week, counting, and nutrition. I appreciate how the book incorporates little "holes" in the pages to indicate where the caterpillar has munched through, adding a tactile element to the reading experience. My 5-year-old loves poking her fingers through the holes, making the story not just a visual but also a sensory delight! It’s also worth noting that the story is quick and to-the-point, making it perfect for bedtime or for little ones with shorter attention spans. But despite its brevity, it offers a wealth of topics to explore and discuss, from biology and metamorphosis to making healthier food choices. "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" isn't just a book; it's an interactive, educational experience that both children and adults can enjoy together. It is a tale that transcends time and remains as relevant today as it was when it was first published. If you haven't introduced your children to this story yet, you're missing out on a classic that’s as nourishing for the mind as it is a delight for the senses.

One of the best books for babies.
Format: Board book
Great book for a one-year-old! Such a colorful, bright, book about a caterpillar that eats all sorts of things before turning into a butterfly. Terrific book for counting also.
