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.

Wedding Guest Shoe
Size: 6.5, Color: Silver/Glitter
True to size. Very true 6.5 in most all of my shoes. I thought the fit was great but after wearing for a little bit they are horrible. The glitter goes down a little too far on the back and rubs the heel. The sides of your toes will hurt after a little bit of wearing them. Super cute shoes and I toughed it out because they looked great but definitely not the most comfortable shoes.

These shoes are adorable but they run large
Size: 11, Color: Champagne
Dream Pairs Low Chunk Heel Size 11 Color These shoes are absolutely gorgeous. The beautiful champagne color shines so exquisitely in the light. They are very shiny and somewhat sparkly. They are definitely eye catching. Style These shoes are great looking, rather sharp. I appreciate the chunky heel design which goes with many outfits from dresses, pants, and jumpers. Size I usually wear a size 11 shoe, sometimes a 10.5 depending on how they run, but these run large in length. I could have easily bought a size 10 for the length of the shoe. My left foot is smaller than the right foot so usually the right foot fits more snug. I definitely still had room in the back for the right foot, but of course, even more room in the back for the left foot. In terms of the width, the toe strap very well accommodates wider toe boxes, as the straps fit properly right out of the box, but the arch of the shoe is a little narrow. Nothing too noticeable but the fit of the shoe is a little odd. Versatility I find that these shoes can be worn with many different styles and outfits, and can go with dressy or casual clothing. The variety of matching outfits is not limited. Comfort These shoes are very comfortable to wear and walk in. Overall, I recommend these shoes

Perfect heel!
Size: 11, Color: Gold/Glitter
Love these heels! I bought the gold and wasn’t expecting them to be most glittery. They are beautiful and comfortable! The heel is chunky enough that these walk like a wedge but don’t look like the heels from the lay 90’s. Love them and will be buying in different colors n

Great heels for beginners or comfy shoe girlies
Size: 11, Color: Nude/Clear
I am a sneaker/comfy shoe girlie. I bought these heels because it had so many great reviews. Baby!! They do not disappoint. I am 5’10 230lbs. I bought these in a size 11. This by far is the most comfortable heel I have ever worn. They are great and so comfortable to wear. Usually I bring an extra pair of flats to change into at the end of the night. No need for that with these. They are easy to walk in and they hold my weight. I love that they run a little big, I love that they have little extra space for wiggle room in the back. The only issue I had was they don’t run wide for an 11 so the toe strap was a little tight but it’s nothing a little stretching can’t help with (blow dryer and YouTube videos). Also it’s a quality shoe for a great price. Definitely will buy more in different colors.
