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.

Shows wear quickly
Color: Multicolor/Sheep & Cow, Size: Medium
These are cute but not holding up as well as I had hoped. Quality is ok and the Velcro has held up great. The fabric just isn’t as good as it could be. They are much larger than expected.

Best toy for Fetch, Inside and outside. I have multiple of them!
Color: Colors May Vary, Size: 5.5 Inch
Size: LARGE
This is hands-down my favorite toy for playing fetch/exercising my dog. I've already bought 2 of these, and I am buying a third because the first one is being rotated out (it got baked by the sun after 3 years outside haha).
My Story:
My dog LOVES to play. All the time. Inside and outside (well duh, all dogs do). But this toy allows me to play inside while not worrying too much about breaking things. My dog has grown out of his "chew to DESTROY it!" phase, so he is able to keep his toys for a long time.
I hate touching toys after they've been slobbered all over, it keeps me from playing with him! There are so many toys that become slippery or slimy after just one throw! But THIS is a great toy because you are able to pick it up with one finger, and just fling it really easily, without getting your hands all gross.
In fact, when i'm playing outside with my dog, I actually KICK these (large or jumbo size only) instead of throwing them. They are perfect for that! and I can get a good kick and consistent placement every time with this thing. And then, I don't have to touch it with my hands AT ALL!
Reasons I love it:
- Non-destructive Indoor Play: I like that this thing keeps its shape, but when it hits things, it just doinks off really lightly and doesn't cause any marks or damage to walls, windows, etc. Note: my house is also not full of knick-knacks or delicate items placed all around that are in harm's way. I'm sure it could knock down some little glass vases if it made contact.
The point is, if you place your throws well, you are very unlikely to damage anything in your house (besides your wood floors from your dog's nails sliding all around haha).
- Quiet: When you kick/throw this toy, and then it lands on the ground/hardwood, it doesn't sound like a bomb went off in your house. It lands softly and lightly, as if you tossed a half-empty toilet paper roll. I have hardwood at my house, so when I play with other toys, they land on the floor and go BOOM as if you just dropped a 20lb weight! If someone else is playing with my dog with other toys and i'm in the other room, it nearly scares the pants off me. I run in and say, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON --oh, you're just playing! so cute. Sorry, continue on."
- Slobber-Free: You don't have to touch the slobbery part in order to throw it or kick it to your dog! Very easily kick-able; it's my preferred method of playing fetch (least energy for me, although I should be the one running, ha).
- Easy to catch: Super easy for my dog to catch. He should be a wide receiver cuz he catches things that, when I kick it, while it's in the air i'm thinking, "AW CRAP, that's way too far..... OH WAIT, he got it?!?! noiiice!" Makes an amateur "quarterback" proud lol.
- Price: It's not $20 per ball! Some toys are $20 and they make you REALLY have to think ... "Does he REALLY need this toy....??" the answer is always NO, (because he has a million toys that are perfectly good). And then I waver so long on the purchase that I forget it even exists!
- Longevity: If your dog is past the "MUST.DESTROY.ALL.THINGS!" stage, then it will last a long time. After 3 years, I'm finally replacing/rotating-out the first one I bought 3 years ago. It has been in the sun, rain, winter, mud; everything. I could still use it; it's totally usable! I was just like, "Eh, why not get a new one?" Honestly, you can never have too many of these. seriously.
- Light, Easily Portable: I always pack these in my dog bag. They are light, and they can smoosh into the bag to a smaller size if my bag is full. No problem.
- Least-annoying toy that your dog brings to you: My dog likes to HINT that he wants to play by bringing his toys and setting them in my lap (wherever i am). With most of his other toys, my reaction is, "GROSS! it's already so slimy!" and I flick it off of me. This Hole-Y Roller is light and not slimy so you can quickly fling it for your dog without getting side-tracked from whatever “unimportant human activity” you’re doing.

Fun with a creative twist
Color: Colors May Vary, Size: 5.5 Inch
This would be a toy to get creative with. The quality is there. It’s a nice size it rolls so it’s great as just a bowl that’s slightly rubbery silicone like that the dog can play with and chew a bit. If you have a strong tour, and you believe that they chew everything that you give them eventually they would probably chew it open. Our puppy likes it plays with that as a typical ball. It’s perfect because he can grab it in his mouth and walk around with it lightly and easily. We do take a kitchen towel. Roll it with treats and shove it inside and he’ll have to try and retrieve that that towel with the treats so it kind of gives us a few minutes of peacefulness. You can create so many different fun games with it because you have access to place things inside you know the holes are slightly big so the items inside would have to be of a good size. We have put his his large wishbones inside to allow for him not to have to hold the bone and it gives him some sort of structure as well as if it rolls away, he finds it to be a game so that’s nice. It’s made well. It’s good quality. I like how it’s blue so the dog could see the color and it’s easy to store cause it’s not huge.
