How to Grow Golden Bantam Corn

Golden Bantam Corn is a warm-season crop that requires the right conditions for optimal growth and high yields. Follow these growing tips to get the best results:

Best Planting Conditions

• Soil Requirements: Prefers loamy, well-draining soil rich in organic matter.
• Sunlight Needs: Requires full sun (6-8 hours per day) for best development.
• Spacing: Plant seeds 9-12 inches apart in rows spaced 24-30 inches apart for proper air circulation and growth.

When and How to Plant

• Spring Planting: Sow seeds after the last frost when soil temperatures reach at least 60°F (15°C).
• Succession Planting: For a longer harvest season, plant seeds every two to three weeks.
• Direct Sowing: Corn does best when planted directly in the ground, as it does not transplant well.

Watering and Fertilization

• Water deeply 1-2 inches per week, ensuring the soil stays consistently moist.
• Apply a balanced organic fertilizer at planting and once more when stalks reach knee height.
• Adding mulch around plants helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Harvesting and Storing Your Corn

Golden Bantam Corn is ready for harvest in 70-80 days, depending on growing conditions. Here’s how to know when it’s time to pick your corn:

Signs of Readiness

• The silks on the ears start to dry and turn brown.
• Kernels release a milky liquid when punctured with a fingernail.
• Ears feel firm and plump when gently squeezed.

Best Ways to Store Your Harvest

• Fresh Corn: Store in the refrigerator with husks on for up to 5 days.
• Freezing: Blanch corn on the cob and freeze whole or as kernels for up to a year.
