can you explain what Biennial means for me.
03.09.12 at 2:45 am
Sure can. Biennial means the plants takes two years to complete its life cycle. A beet or a carrot will produce the enlarged root (beet or carrot) the first year. Over the winter it must be protected so it does not freeze. In warmer parts of the country, this simply means put a thick, but airy mulch over the plants. In the colder sections of the country, the roots will need to be lifted from the soil and stored in a root cellar; then replanted in the spring to produce the seed. The second summer, it will grow again, shoot up a flower stalk, that will flower and produce seed. Several crops are biennial. Cabbage, some broccoli, brussel sprouts, onions, parsley, parsnips, etc. We include more seed of these crops because it is more difficult to save their seed. Also, several of these biennials are good winter crops, which is crucial in a crisis situation.

Please explain the open pollinated term.
Does this mean that there is no insect pollination required?

Open pollination is pollination by natural mechanisms such as insects and wind. Pollination is required and happens naturally in nature. Breeding is not controlled by man. Because the pollen source is not controlled and is unknown, the resulting seeds will grow the same kind of plant, but it will have some different genetic traits and will therefore increase biodiversity. Traits that could be different are traits such as frost resistance, fruit size and color, disease resistance, plant size, early or later maturing, etc.
A hybrid plant will not produce seed that will grow the same genetic plant. The first generation crosses are usually the best. If you plant seed resulting from this first generation cross, the quality of the plant/fruit generally goes down hill in each succeeding generation.
We see this in animals such as dogs and cattle as well. The first generation cross is usually better, but later generations decrease in quality and vigor.
