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.

Great 1/4 Zip for money
Size: 4X-Large, Color: Black Melange
This quarter zip pullover is a great addition to any wardrobe. The fabric is lightweight, breathable, and does a nice job wicking away moisture, making it perfect for golf or any outdoor activity. The fit is true to size with a clean, athletic look—not too tight and not too loose. The material feels smooth. The zipper is sturdy, and the overall quality is impressive for the price. It also holds up well after washing without losing shape. Nice material, wrinkle resistant and soft. Great for the course, workouts, or even casual wear. Highly recommend!

True to size and great quality
Size: X-Large, Color: Colony Blue Melange
This shirt fits true to size. It is very soft and comfortable. The fabric is a thinner fabric that can be worn over dress shirts. The quality of the shirt seems to be very good. I have bought these pullovers in multiple colors, and they all seem to be consistent with the quality and size.

Received the wrong size
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Melange
Seemed and looked like a decent quality shirt. A little lighter weight than I expected. I ordered an XL, but received a Large, which did not fit. Returned it and bought a similar shirt in a different brand.

Beautiful color
Size: Medium, Color: Red Melange
I loved the vibrant color of this shirt. The fabric is lightweight but not sun shirt/rash guard material. This will add a layer of warmth for seasons when the temperature fluctuates greatly during the course of the day. The sizing chart was accurate. My husband generally wears a medium but, based on the size chart, I bought him a large and it fit well.
