Golden Bantam Yellow Sweet Corn (56.75g):Golden Bantam is an old time favorite. The plant yields lots of ears up to 7" long. This is the sweet corn that made us fall in love with sweet corn! Average: 80 days.
Detailed planting instructions:
Corn requires rich, fertile soil. Add compost or well rotted manure in fall. Consider planting a legume cover crop the season before corn to help meet the nutrient needs of this heavy feeder. Make first planting after last frost date. Soil should be at least 65 F for fast germination. (Corn will not germinate if soil temperature is less than 55 F.) To speed increase in soil temperature, consider covering soil with black plastic for several weeks before planting. Plant seeds 1" deep and 4 to 6" apart in rows 30 to 36" apart. Thin to 8 to 12" spacing when plants are 3 to 4" tall. Increase seeding rates to ensure a good stand if soils are cold or you are using seed that has not been treated with fungicide. (Untreated seed has natural color. Treated seed is dyed).
To save space, you can intercrop corn with early-harvested cool-season crops. Corn plants have many roots close to the surface, so cultivate around them with care. You can hill soil up around the base of plants as they grow to bury small weeds in the row and give the corn a better foothold. After the soil has warmed, you can mulch corn to help suppress weeds and retain moisture. It is not necessary to remove suckers (side sprouts growing from the base of the plant). Studies show that removing them may actually reduce yields. Corn is a heavy feeder - particularly of nitrogen - and may require several sidedressings of fertilizer for best yields. Look for signs of nutrient deficiency. Purple-tinged leaves are a sign of phosphorus deficiency. Pale green leaves are a sign of nitrogen deficiency. For miniature or baby corn, plant seeds 2 to 4 inches apart and harvest as silks emerge from the ear, or harvest secondary ears from normally spaced plantings, allowing the main ear to fully mature. Also try hybrids specifically bred for early baby corn harvest.
Harvesting:
Of all the vegetables grown, corn is the one most often harvested too late. With corn, it is essential to pick it at the right time to get the best quality and flavor. Corn also starts to lose its quality quickly after it is harvested. Within 24 hours after being picked, most corn loses more than half its natural sugars by converting them to starch. Ideally, you should harvest your corn at the time you are ready to cook it.
Check sweet corn for ripeness when the the silks have turned brown but are still damp to the touch. Pull back the husk partially and puncture a kernel. If a clear liquid spurts out, the corn is not ready. If a milky liquid spurts out, it is ready and should be picked immediately! If no liquid emerges, the corn is past its prime. Beware, however, that though pulling back the husks is a reliable method of checking for ripeness, it does have a major disadvantage if the corn is still immature when you do the checking. Once you open an immature ear, it becomes susceptible to insect and other pests, as it continues to ripen. Attack by birds also becomes more likely. With a little experience and practice, you'll be able to judge the ripeness of corn fairly accurately, just by feeling the ends of the ears and not have to worry about that problem.
Saving Seeds:
To save corn seed choose the earliest and the best-developed corncobs you can find. Cover them with a large enough paper bag to be able tie the top off to keep the bugs and grubs out. Do not use a plastic bag as the cob needs to breathe. Allow the cob to develop and dry out on the stalk as long possible. To store the cobs, remove them from the bag, pull back the husks, and hang in a dry area away from bugs or rodents, or you will end up with a dried out corncob with no seed. When the cobs are fully dried out, carefully break-off the seed, store in a paper bag, and keep in a cool place (the bottom of the fridge is a good spot) until springtime and you want to sow it.

Just like the other but better!
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love the regular mineral face sunscreen so wanted to try the new liquid face sunscreen! It seems to be the same formula but way easier to apply. Applies more like a moisturizer and easy to run in! It still has the same protection and reliability!! Sunbum will always be a favorite!

Does well on my sensitive skin
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a good sunscreen, doesn't bother my sensitive skin or cause a roseacea flare up. It is a bit too dewy for my taste to wear just by itself, but does just fine when I use it under my makeup. If you like the "glass skin" look, it would be a good option.

Great saddle bag item
Style: Face Stick, Size: 0.45 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I love the size! This small sized product is handy for the outdoorsman. Very convenient to keep in pocket or saddle bag. Product kept my ears, face and back of neck from sun burning. Easy to apply and rub in and was actually not oily feeling like most others.
And an added bonus it help to keep nats and mosquitoes away from face, ears and neck!

Love the stick! I’m not a baby.
Style: Face Stick, Size: 0.45 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I don’t have babies anymore just teens, but I keep one of these in the car for back of my hands. It doesn’t either freeze nor get hot melty and gloopy and separated like a cream. Withstands both extreme summer and below freezing winter temps. Also you easily swipe it on in 2 seconds, avoiding getting palms slimy to facilitate driving.
However I drive less than I spend time on my screened in porch. I’m not in direct sun, only shade, but by now we know that it’s uva light even hitting you on cloudy rain through windows that is aging and causing cancer. So I’m getting TONS of uv light. Every time I go out there, I swipe it on the back of my hands, since spf wears off quickly there from dishes hand washing etc. Since I’ve been doing this, age spots have faded off my hands. Hands age very fast. It doesn’t clutter and look sloppy on porch, and again, doesn’t freeze or melt! And a whopping 19.2% zinc is CRAZY!! I could of course see this being perfect for babies faces since it wouldn’t run into the eyes and it’s gentle as heck on skin. It is like totally thick and white though, if that matters to you or your baby.
I also keep the adult sun bum stick (not mineral) in my purse. Takes up no room. It is less white/more cosmetically elegant than baby mineral one, and I touch up my face with it. I reapply sunscreen every 2 hours (don’t wear makeup). These things are perfect!!!! They last forever too.
