{"title":"Corn Seeds (Heirloom)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeirloom corn is the most widely cultivated grain crop in the Americas and is grown all over the world. Heirloom corn, with its towering leafy stalks and sweet kernels, has become a staple food in many cuisines, and its total production exceeds that of wheat and rice. The cob, which is a cylindrical structure, is where the kernels grow. On the cob, the kernels are organized in rows. Silk is a hair-like substance that grows from each egg and emerges slowly from the husk's tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Best Heirloom Corn Selection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCorn has been farmed in North America for thousands of years and it is as American as apple pie. This popular seed, together with \u003ca href=\"tomato_seeds\"\u003etomatoes\u003c\/a\u003e, has inspired more home gardens than any other vegetable. One bite into a fresh ear of heirloom corn will explain all of your questions concerning the popularity of this homegrown food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeirloom corn should always be grown from seed throughout a frost-free growing season. Heirloom corn is pollinated by the wind, thus it should be planted in a block of multiple rows, not just one skinny row, to ensure even pollination. Choose one cultivar (to avoid cross-pollination) and plant a minimum of 10 to 15 plants per person for fresh corn this season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to plant Heirloom Corn Seeds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeirloom corn seeds should be planted two weeks after the final spring frost. Heirloom corn prefers a healthy, well-drained soil with a temperature of 60 to 65°F. Choose a planting location that receives lots of sunlight and has a good level of nitrogen and moisture in the soil. Prior to planting, the soil should be amended with aged manure or rich compost. Plant two to three seeds per hole, about one to two inches deep. Rows should be 30 to 36 inches apart and plantings should be 12 to 15 inches apart. Shorter varieties may be spaced closer together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for and harvest heirloom corn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter planting, water the soil and keep it moist throughout germination and harvest. Thin to the strongest plant if more than one sprout develops from a cluster. When the plants are between 12 and 18 inches tall, use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer. If weeds appear around plants, pick them out; if weeds become too numerous, a thick layer of mulch can be placed to the plant's base. The plant's silk should be visible and fading to a brown tint after around three weeks. Heirloom corn ears are ready to be harvested when this happens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTips for storing heirloom corn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBend and twist the ear of heirloom corn downwards from the stalk to harvest it. For the greatest quality, eat or freeze right away. If you're preserving corn, don't remove the husks; it'll keep for about a week in the fridge or up to eight months in the freezer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information about planting, growing, and caring for heirloom corn seed, see the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/grow.edenbrothers.mom\/planting-guides\/corn-seeds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCorn Seeds Planting Guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"corn_seeds_golden_beauty","title":"Corn Seeds - Golden Beauty","description":"\u003cp\u003eGolden Beauty is a rugged and versatile variety that will grow in just about any soil and in just about any climate.
