Buttergold Sweet Corn
Seed treated with fungicide
About- Plant Buttergold and you will have mouth-watering tender sweet ears on your table in only 63 days! The sugar enhanced ears have long keeping quality and are good for freezing. Buttergold also has excellent cold soil emergence and can be planted earlier than other varieties.
When and Where to Plant- Select a sunny location and plant when all danger of frost is past and the soil has warmed. For best results, cultivate soil and fertilize with vegetable food. To ensure good pollination, sow seed in blocks of at least 4 rows side by side, rather than a long single row. For an extended harvest, plant every 3 weeks until early summer.
Care and Harvest- Grows best in soil with a pH between 6 and 7. Cultivate weekly or mulch between plants and rows to control weeds. Pick when silks turn brown and ears are firm. Test by piercing a few kernels with thumbnail. The skin should be tender and the juice should have a milky look to it. For the best eating experience, pick, prepare, cook and eat the same day.
