SWEET CORN-TRUE GOLD originating in the Americas, the sweet corn is not as sweet as hybrid varieties but delicious just the same. They are open wind pollinated so plant in 3 x 4 blocks for best results. The male pollen falls from above the plant to the female below. So, the closer they are the better the pollination result. Can be sown directly in the soil or pot raised and planted out after germination. Can be plant every 4 to 6 weeks for a continual supply over the growing season. Plant in spring and Summer. Can be grown with beans, peas, cucumber, melons, squash but not Celery.
They need full sun, with lots of water and good organically composted soil. Plant 2.5cm deep and 25cm apart with rows 50cm apart. Soil Temp 16 to 35°C. Harvest when top silks turn brown. Cut and freeze for later use.

ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.
We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.
We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
