It was not difficult to grow at all compared to others that I have tried.  -  Wednesday, April 25, 2007 Dependable Good Reviewed By: T S McDowell (Rockton, PA) This corn is outstanding! It's been the only corn I've been planting.I almost hate to try another type because of what I get from this corn; dependable size, taste and abundance. My family and friends start sniffing around my corn patch when the tassle waves. They swear, like me, this is the best corn they get. I wonder if being free makes them say that? Nah. It's the taste!!  -  Monday, April 30, 2007 Best Corn Variety Reviewed By: Ryan  (American Fork, UT) This variety is a winner. I planted it last year, and the results were amazing. I was surprised to see basically 100% germination, and the flavor of this variety is the best I've ever had. The neighbors agree with me also. I loved it so much, I'm planting twice as much this year.  -  Tuesday, June 05, 2007 doing good! Reviewed By: paul (sandy, oregon) Planted it for the first time... came up in 10 days. Almost 100% came up. I also planted Gotta Have It variety and the Northern, although was planted 2 weeks later has already outgrown the other variety. Can't wait to taste it!  -  Wednesday, August 06, 2008 Awsome Reviewed By: Tim (Ashland Co., Ohio) This was a real pleaser for my market sales.I planted 4 pounds at 5 inches apart with rows 4 feet apart.I used 19-19-19 via broadcast then did 2 more passing with disk.Planted in end of may when soil was moist and fairly warm.Germination was about 95-98%.I dont double seed.I put 1 seed every 5 inches.Once tasseled i put urea 38-0-0 as a side dressing.As with any corn it likes nitrogen.Every top set corn was at least 8 inches with many many at 10 in.lower corn was still 6-8 inches.Some stalks had 4 ears on it with all having at least 2 ears setting about 18-24 inches from ground for easy picking.Corn had great sweet taste and cusomters were in love.This was my first year of marketing corn.I charged 3.50 a dozen and many many people have came back loving it. Oh i also used bicep for weed control when corn first ermerged.So weed free was a success.Second crop was honey and pearl.If you buy this corn do yourself a fav with any corn really you have to make sure you have the soil ready for a good crop.Small ears or small stalks means lame soil.12-12-12 is a good starter but dont be afaid to use something highter right at planting.
