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.

Fantastic and elegant looking nightstand or bathroom tray
Color: White 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8"
I absolutely love this nightstand tray! The elegant gold trim gives it a luxurious look that instantly elevates my nightstand decor. It works perfectly as a perfume or cologne organizer and keeps all my bottles beautifully displayed. I’ve also used one as a dresser organizer countertop to hold jewelry and skincare, and another as a stylish key tray or key holder bowl by the front door. The quality is excellent and the design is both functional and beautiful. I love it so much, I’ll definitely be buying a few more to stack it up in a couple of my rooms. Highly recommend!

Your Jewelry’s New Bodyguard
Color: Black, Size: Medium - No Mirror, Color: Black, Size: Medium - No Mirror
I did not realize how feral my jewelry situation was until this little seashell-shaped box showed up and brought real order to the chaos. Before this, necklaces traveled like they were in a mosh pit, earrings roamed free like they paid rent, and rings disappeared into the void whenever they felt like it. Now? The ProCase Travel Jewelry Box acts like a tiny black PU leather bodyguard for my accessories. The size is perfect—actually compact and travel-friendly without being useless. It slides into a purse, carry-on, or weekender with zero fuss, and looks sleek while doing it. Bonus: it has that clean, new-bag smell (not that weird cheap-plastic scent some travel cases come with). The two-layer interior is the MVP: • ring slots that actually hold • earring sections that keep pairs together • divided compartments • and the inner flap divider that keeps everything separated so pieces don’t mix, migrate, or start fighting for territory... It stays organized even when I don’t. The zipper glides smoothly, the structure is sturdy, and it survived being tossed in a crowded bag like an absolute champ—no dents, no damage, no “why am I like this?” regret. Functionally, it solves every travel jewelry problem without trying too hard: • no more mystery earrings • no more digging through a black-hole makeup bag • no more tiny boxes that only hold one ring and a dream If you travel, juggle multiple bags, or just want your jewelry to stop living a chaotic double life, this compact portable jewelry organizer is the move. It’s cute, durable, practical, and genuinely real-world ready—not just “Pinterest organized,” but throw-it-in-your-bag-and-go organized. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — My jewelry finally behaves.

Nicer Than Expected!
Color: Black, Size: Medium - No Mirror
I researched all the options I could find before deciding on this one. I wanted to gift this to my mom since she travels a lot. I was very pleased when I saw the high quality of the zipper. The zipper is nice anyway because many other options only have a snap, which is less secure/sturdy. It zips smoothly and doesn't get caught up or snagged. This case is roomy, and could fit quite a bit of jewelry! My mom used to use a soft side case, and this one will protect her jewelry better (especially since the necklace section keeps them from getting tangled up), and the pieces won't slide all over each other in transit. Overall, it is a well-made case that looks and feels nice, and will keep my mom's jewelry well-organized and protected. I just ordered another one for myself! :)
