Plant Care & Growing Tips

Growing delicious sweet corn seeds is a rewarding experience, and with the right care, your Golden Bantam corn plants will thrive. Corn is a warm-season crop that requires ample sunlight and nutrients to produce its best. Plant your organic corn seeds after the last danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 60°F (15°C). Full sun exposure, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day, is crucial for optimal growth and ear development. Consider planting in blocks rather than single rows to improve pollination and ensure well-filled ears.

The ideal soil for non-gmo corn seeds is well-draining, fertile loam with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Amend heavy clay or sandy soils with compost or other organic matter to improve structure and nutrient retention. Corn is a heavy feeder, so prepare your garden bed with plenty of aged manure or a balanced organic fertilizer before planting. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the crucial tasseling and silking stages, but avoid waterlogging. Watering deeply and regularly is more beneficial than frequent shallow watering. While these heirloom corn seeds are generally robust, monitor for common pests like corn earworms and diseases, addressing any issues promptly with organic solutions.
