Providence Sweet Corn Seeds

Description

Seed treated with fungicide

About- Exceptional variety of ‘Triple Sweet’ sweet corn with outstanding eating quality. Ears average 8 inches and are filled to the tip with exceptionally sweet, yellow and white kernels. Providence is well-suited for roadside stands, local markets as well as home gardens.

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 insure 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.
