One of the most popular vegetables, freshly picked corn-on -the-cob is simply hard to beat for delicious flavor. This is a very sweet bi-color variety that is great for eating fresh or freezing and canning. Ears are plump and sweet. They grow on tall, vigorous stalks.
Sowing: Sow seeds directly in the garden in spring after soil has warmed. Does best in deeply cultivated soil that is high in nitrogen. To aid pollination, avoid planting in a single row. For succession, plant every 3 weeks until early summer.
Care: Water generously and fertilize when plants are 12-18" (30-45cm) tall.
Harvest: Pick when silks turn brow. Test by piercing a kernel with thumbnail to see if it spurts a milky juice.
Your Health: Good source of several vitamins and minerals.
