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 corn 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 Kandy Korn Hybrid Yellow Sweet 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 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 this type from its own seed will not be successful.

I ordered one pound of the kandy Korn seeds. I heard a lot of people like this variety. I can't wait to try it at the end of summer.

Received quickly! Corns up!!
The best seeds EVER!
We have had a rough time with seed from the farm store..so, I ordered from EverWilde and will never go back to local seed. EVERY single seed came up and our corn was the best tasting. We grow a medium sized garden and will be ordering more seed for 2021.Thank you EverWilde for your prompt service, having seed in stock when other sources did not and the great sprout rate and excellent tasting results.
Every seed came up!
Fast and great service for seeds...they arrived quickly and ever single seed we planted came up! Jury is out on plant quality, but they look good so far !!!!
