RARE Mayan White Maize Corn Seeds - Heirloom Vegetable Seeds
Zea mays
Listing is for 1 packet of minimum 30 seeds

This is a traditional white maize or dent corn grown by the Mayans. It is not the same as sweet corn. The cobs are allowed to fully dry on the plants before harvesting. The kernels are shucked off and used in a variety of recipes such as in making corn flour, masa for tortillas, pozole and much more. Plants get around 8FT tall and typically each stalk produces 2 cobs. I only grew a small crop to test them out so seeds are limited. They grew fantastic in my Florida garden with high disease and pest pressure so I will be planting a lot more next season. It takes 85 days from seed to produce the cobs. Then it takes additional 1-2 months for the cobs to dry out on the stalks and be ready for harvest. 

My top 3 tips for successfully growing corn - or go visit my YouTube channel Jerra's Garden to watch my How to Grow Corn video: https://youtu.be/XhrJQ09dajQ

1. Corn must be grown in a decent size block in order to properly pollinate and produce full ears of corn. Corn is wind pollinated. The tassels that form at the top release pollen in the air that floats down and lands on the silks. Every silk is attached to a single kernel on the cob of corn. If the silk doesn't get pollinated, the kernel will not grow resulting in cobs of corn with gaps in it. Do not grow just a few plants. Ideally you would want a 8ft x 4ft growing area, with at least 4 rows. I sow/plant the corn 8-10 inches apart. 

2. The corn ear worms will come so be ready. These are small brown worms that bore into the stalk and ultimately into the forming cobs of corn. They will ruin the entire cob. What makes it so difficult, is that once they bore into the stalk/cob, its hard to treat for the worms. I highly recommend the use of spinosad. BT will also work ok, but its not as effective as spinosad against this particular type of worm. Spinosad is slightly stronger and has the added benefit of killing the worm on contact (BT does not). I spray at the first signs of worm chewing damage on the leaves to reduce the population before they work their way into the stalks/cobs. FYI this maize didn't get infested by worms as much as when I grow sweet corn. 

3. Corn is a grass relative. They need high amounts of nitrogen fertilizer to grow strong, lush, green stalks which in turn produce bigger and fuller cobs of corn. Look for fertilizers that are high in nitrogen, at least 10% by weight or more. Apply small amounts of fertilizer every 3 weeks to keep a consistent supply of nitrogen for the plants.

4. Corn loves water. The plants will dry and brown up if the soil is too dry just like grass. Make sure moisture levels stay consistent. 

5. If you plan to save your own seed, please note that corn very easily cross pollinates with other corn varieties. Plant each variety at minimum 150FT apart to avoid cross pollination.

PLANTING

Germination: 7-14 days

Seed Sowing Depth: 1-2 inches deep 

Sowing: Everyone recommends to direct sow corn as soon as soil temperatures reach over 85F. For some reason I have terrible germination when I direct sow corn. I believe my soil is just too moist since I am in Florida, which rots out the seeds. Because of this, I sow the seeds in 72-cell seed trays, 1 seed per cell, and transplant at the 3 week mark. It works perfectly every time. It is important to transplant no later than the 3 week mark or they get root bound which stunts their growth. 

Days to maturity: 85

Be careful! Will have extra impact with any adolescents but especially boys.
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
Well these tablets taste intensely sweet. There is no possiblity that any of the orginal flavor might be detected. They chew with vigours crunching noises. The directions don't say anything about taking it with food but I think it was faintly better with food than an empty stomach. On the whole the experience was like eating candy. But you gotta be careful about how they work. Like any fiber you need to get used to taking it and in the interim you will experience gas and bloating. It's been ten days since I started and the gas hasn't gone away. The tablets seem to take about 24-48 hours before I could perceive any effect. I don't perceive ANY softening of the stools. They seem to be as hardened as ever no matter how much water I drink before, during or after. . However the amazing amounts of gas produced propels the pellets out as if from an air gun. You should not allow any adolescents anywhere near you. You will instantly aquire a neighborhood wide reputation for setting the longest fart record *ever*. The gases do coincide with the number of intervals between doses so pellets are expelled with projectile force at regular intervals during the day. While the results may seem unimpressive apparently they add up and I no longer experience blockages. 5 stars normally but extra stars because your kids will regard you with new respect.
