Description

"Golden Cross Bantam" is always the big winner in taste tests for sweetness in garden corn. Plants are about 5 to 6', and ears are 6 to 7" long.

When and Where to Plant: Select sunny location and plant after the last frost. Soil should be fertilized with vegetable food and cultivated. To insure good pollination sow seed in blocks of at least 4 rows side by side rather than one long row. For succession, plant every 3 weeks until early summer.
Care: Cultivate weekly or mulch to control weeds. Fertilize when plants are 12-18”/30-46 cm.
Harvesting: Pick when silks turn brown and ears are firm. Test by piercing a few kernels with thumbnail. The skin should be tender and the juice should look “milky”. to get the best tast, pick, cook, and eat the same day.
