As an heirloom variety, the cobs may be a little smaller than you’re used to, but you get sweet, juicy yellow-kernel corn and you can harvest your own seeds for next year. Let your corn plants double as a trellis for beans, and the beans will help to feed your corn. These hungry plants like rich soil, so dig in lots of organic matter. One thing is certain, your home-grown heirloom corn will be way nicer than anything you can get at the shops.

Growing Information

How to Sow

Although you can skip this step, your seeds will come up much faster if you soak them overnight before sowing. Plant them directly in the place they’re to grow, spacing them 20 cm apart.

How to Harvest

When the silks have turned brown and wilted, it’s time to start picking, but don’t pick more than you will eat on the day. That way, you get the sweetest flavour. Cut your cobs or pull down, twist, and then pull towards you.
