The MayFord Sweetcorn Golden Bantam is a well-loved, highly productive corn variety, widely appreciated for its rich flavor and reliability in home gardens. It is best sown in rows, ensuring a spacing of 90 cm between plants and 10 cm between seeds, and requires consistent moisture throughout the growing cycle.
Seedlings should be thinned out at 20 cm intervals, allowing strong root establishment and dense growth. Pressing down the soil after sowing improves germination, and a well-drained, liberally fertilized soil enhances yield.
Harvesting occurs approximately 75 days after planting, producing bright yellow cobs best picked when kernels are tender and sweet. To maximize production, avoid letting plants become overgrown, as this can reduce further yield.
