Rohrer Seeds Ambrosia (SE) Hybrid Sweet Corn, 2oz Packet, Plants 150ft Row

Ambrosia SE Hybrid Sweet Corn

Many consider freshly-harvested corn-on-the-cob, served piping hot, lightly seasoned, and dripping with butter to be the most delicious vegetable of all. Kernels are yellow and white, tasty and tender. Serve fresh, or preserve by freezing or canning. Plants 1 (50ft) row.

When and where to plant

Select a sunny location and plant after last frost. Soil should be fertilized with vegetable food and cultivated. To insure good pollination sow seed in blocks of at least 4 rows side by side rather than one long row. For succession, plant every 3 weeks until early summer.

Care

Cultivate weekly or mulch to control weeds. Fertilize when plants are 12-18" tall.

Harvesting

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 look "milky." To get the best taste, pick, cook, and eat the same day.

A good source of several vitamins and minerals.

• Seed Spacing: 4-6"
