Product Description

CORN: Did you know that corn is America's number one field crop? Corn leads all other crops in value & volume of production. Corn in a major component in many food items like cereals, peanut butter, snack foods and soft drinks. Corn is produced on every continent in the world with the exception of Antarctica. Exports are critical to the well being of American agriculture. Nearly 1/3 of our nations corn crop is targeted for exports.

Organic True Gold Sweet Corn: Origin: Central America & Mexico. A living tribute to ancient peoples, corn provides nourishment for body and soul. One of the three most important food crops of humankind, corn has evolved into many modern varieties: sweet, starch, parch, flint, dent, popcorn and ornamental.

Soil & Amendments: Corn needs rich soil to thrive. It produces best in soils amended generously with compost.

Culture: Corn needs warmth to germinate, but once germinated the plants will grow quite well in cool soils under wet conditions. Soak seeds overnight to aid germination. When danger of frost has passed, sow sweet corn 1-2" deep in rows that are 3' apart. Plant 2-3 seeds every 12". After seedlings reach 4-6" in height, thin to 1 plant per foot. Plant in blocks, clusters, or spirals, of at least four rows to insure the best wind pollination. Side dress with compost and aged manure if yellowing, or if growth seems stunted.

This review is from: Organic True Gold Sweet Corn - 100 Seeds

This hybred corn was very disappointing. I tried it two years in a row and both times I just got a few large ears of corn that resembled the picture. The rest were small. I would think that some of the bantam corn seeds snuck into the package. Maybe this variety just didn't like the climate in Colorado. I had much better luck with corn from another supplier. Good luck with yours. I won't be getting this variety again.
