Golden Bantam Corn

Open Pollinated.  Heirloom. 75 days. 5' tall. An old-timer introduced in 1902 and Golden Bantam Corn is still the most popular non-hybrid sweet corn.  Thick, juicy kernels on 6"-7" long eight row ears and plenty of flavor remind us how corn used to taste.  When the tassels are turning brown you want to pick it and cook immediately if you are to enjoy it at its best. Planting Directions: Sow seed in spring after all danger of frost has past and soil temperature is between 60° and 95°. Plant seed 1” to 1 1/2”  deep,  3-4 seeds per hill spaced  4”-6” apart. Plant in blocks of 2-4 rows to optimize germination. Corn is a heavy feeder especially of nitrogen. Plant in well prepared soil amended with rich compost or a  complete garden fertilizer. Successive plantings at 2-4 week intervals assures a steady supply of corn for several weeks. Plant in full sun. Water  moderately and  increase watering when tassels appear.
