HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Prepare the soil with compost or other organic matter. One week after frost or when the soil consistently reaches 60 degrees F, plant the hybrid corn seeds 1" deep and 8-12" apart. Planting blocks of four short rows ensures good pollination. Germination should take place in 5-6 days. For companion planting benefits, plant corn with cucumbers, peas, or pole beans; plants that like shade also do well with corn. Avoid planting tomatoes near the hybrid corn seeds.
Growing: After the corn emerges, keep it moist and carefully remove weeds; since corn cannot fight against weeds, mulch may be beneficial. Additional organic matter or compost helps growth, since corn is a heavy feeder. Keep in mind that corn has shallow roots which can easily become damaged by hoeing. Watch out for pests, as corn attracts many problematic insects and animals.
Harvesting: About three weeks after the corn silk appears, it will begin to turn brown; this signals that the corn is nearly ripe. When the kernels of sweet corn release a milky substance when pierced, they are ready to be harvested. If the substance is clear, they are not ready; if nothing comes out of the kernel, the optimum time for harvest has passed. Sweet corn usually tastes sweetest if picked in the morning, since sugar content peaks at this time; for best taste, use it the same day it is picked.
Seed Saving: Because this variety of Honey Select corn is a hybrid, the seed it produces will either be sterile or will revert to the characteristics to one of the parent seeds; reproducing the Honey Select corn from its own seed will not be successful.

Fast shipping, great seller.
Great Seed Company
Thank you for your professionalism. Fast shipping and such a quality packaging. I can't wait to get them in my soil. I gave you folks a awesome review on my FB page too. Thank you so much.
I'd give 10 stars if I could!
My new favorite seed company! Very well done graphics on the best packaging possible, that can be resealed for much longer storage life!
Delivery was quick, and arrived on time or sooner than scheduled. The seeds were large and substantial; and as for growing, germination rates were almost 100%, with the added benefit of them coming up vigorous and hearty.
I like buying from companies that are not necessarily the "name brands",because they aren't so big that they get swamped and don't have as much time for you and your order! Even through Covid 19, when other companies were behind and scrambling to get the orders out in a timely manner, Everwilde farms were actually early! They seem to have a good system.
I will certainly recommend Everwilde.com to anyone!
