Sweet Corn
70 days — The plants of 'Fisher's Earliest' sweet corn are vigorous with stalks that reach five to six feet tall and often produce tillers. Each stalk produces one, six inch ear that contains ten to twelve rows of golden-yellow kernels. It has a great, sweet, old-fashioned flavor, but like all heritage Su sweet corn varieties, the ears should be eaten as quickly as possible after harvesting.
'Fisher's Earliest' was developed by the late Ken Fisher of Belgrade, Montana who worked for 60+ years selecting for the short growing season there. Each packet contains one ounce, which is approximately 140 seeds.
Planting Instructions:
Soil must be at least 65ºF to germinate. Be patient and do not plant too early or you will waste a lot of seed! Plant in full sun and keep it watered. Corn is a wind-pollinated plant. Plant in blocks several rows wide to ensure full ears.
Sow seeds about 1½ to 2½ inch deep, 3 to 4 inches apart, in rows spaced 24 to 30 inches apart. Thin to 6 to 12 inches apart.
