Golden Bantam Yellow Sweet Corn (56.75g):Golden Bantam is an old time favorite. The plant yields lots of ears up to 7" long. This is the sweet corn that made us fall in love with sweet corn! Average: 80 days.
Detailed planting instructions:
Corn requires rich, fertile soil. Add compost or well rotted manure in fall. Consider planting a legume cover crop the season before corn to help meet the nutrient needs of this heavy feeder. Make first planting after last frost date. Soil should be at least 65 F for fast germination. (Corn will not germinate if soil temperature is less than 55 F.) To speed increase in soil temperature, consider covering soil with black plastic for several weeks before planting. Plant seeds 1" deep and 4 to 6" apart in rows 30 to 36" apart. Thin to 8 to 12" spacing when plants are 3 to 4" tall. Increase seeding rates to ensure a good stand if soils are cold or you are using seed that has not been treated with fungicide. (Untreated seed has natural color. Treated seed is dyed).
To save space, you can intercrop corn with early-harvested cool-season crops. Corn plants have many roots close to the surface, so cultivate around them with care. You can hill soil up around the base of plants as they grow to bury small weeds in the row and give the corn a better foothold. After the soil has warmed, you can mulch corn to help suppress weeds and retain moisture. It is not necessary to remove suckers (side sprouts growing from the base of the plant). Studies show that removing them may actually reduce yields. Corn is a heavy feeder - particularly of nitrogen - and may require several sidedressings of fertilizer for best yields. Look for signs of nutrient deficiency. Purple-tinged leaves are a sign of phosphorus deficiency. Pale green leaves are a sign of nitrogen deficiency. For miniature or baby corn, plant seeds 2 to 4 inches apart and harvest as silks emerge from the ear, or harvest secondary ears from normally spaced plantings, allowing the main ear to fully mature. Also try hybrids specifically bred for early baby corn harvest.
Harvesting:
Of all the vegetables grown, corn is the one most often harvested too late. With corn, it is essential to pick it at the right time to get the best quality and flavor. Corn also starts to lose its quality quickly after it is harvested. Within 24 hours after being picked, most corn loses more than half its natural sugars by converting them to starch. Ideally, you should harvest your corn at the time you are ready to cook it.
Check sweet corn for ripeness when the the silks have turned brown but are still damp to the touch. Pull back the husk partially and puncture a kernel. If a clear liquid spurts out, the corn is not ready. If a milky liquid spurts out, it is ready and should be picked immediately! If no liquid emerges, the corn is past its prime. Beware, however, that though pulling back the husks is a reliable method of checking for ripeness, it does have a major disadvantage if the corn is still immature when you do the checking. Once you open an immature ear, it becomes susceptible to insect and other pests, as it continues to ripen. Attack by birds also becomes more likely. With a little experience and practice, you'll be able to judge the ripeness of corn fairly accurately, just by feeling the ends of the ears and not have to worry about that problem.
Saving Seeds:
To save corn seed choose the earliest and the best-developed corncobs you can find. Cover them with a large enough paper bag to be able tie the top off to keep the bugs and grubs out. Do not use a plastic bag as the cob needs to breathe. Allow the cob to develop and dry out on the stalk as long possible. To store the cobs, remove them from the bag, pull back the husks, and hang in a dry area away from bugs or rodents, or you will end up with a dried out corncob with no seed. When the cobs are fully dried out, carefully break-off the seed, store in a paper bag, and keep in a cool place (the bottom of the fridge is a good spot) until springtime and you want to sow it.

High quality frames with weak polarization
I really like the look and feel of these glasses—they seem to be high quality. I like the fit and the non-slip texture of the frames.
Two things detract from otherwise being exactly what I was looking for.
First, and most importantly, the polarization seems less strong than what I’ve had in other sunglasses. Glare from shiny things like glass on cars and glare on my phone screen seems barely reduced compared to looking without the glasses (tilting my head makes barely any difference in the polarization). I’ve noticed that especially while driving. So I’m taking off one star for that.
Another thing that is more just a personal preference is that the brown lenses are less to my liking than I expected. They really give a strong brown/sepia cast to the world compared to the gray lenses I’ve predominantly used in the past. It reminds me a bit of the light on a day with strong wildfire smoke in the air. I wish they offered these same frames but with gray lenses so that this effect wasn’t so pronounced. No stars removed for this since it’s more of a personal preference, but thought I would point it out for anyone who might be more used to gray/natural lenses without realizing it like I was.

GREAT PURCHASE!! Perfect for the beach!
Color: Blue, Size: 7x7 FT (1～3 person)
The perfect beach blanket! I recently purchased this for a trip to Amelia Island in Florida. It did exactly what it was supposed to. Waterproof and sandproof! It even held up in the heat really well. The sand got super hot, but the blanket didn't. Thouroghly pleased! Easy to pack back up, and super light and compact.

Great lightweight beach blanket
Color: Blue, Size: 7x7 FT (1～3 person)
This is a great beach blanket, very well designed. Really lightweight, durable, quick drying, easy to use, packs very small. Stakes are included, but we never use them since the corner pockets filled with sand are sufficient to hold the blanket in place. Folding instructions are also provided, but you can just stuff quickly the blanket into the attached pouch, and the overall fine wrinkles are not an issue -- the blanket still looks very nice. The blanket is very thin, so there's no extra "padding" (this is what keeps it super lightweight and quick drying), but it works great on soft sand, so it's perfect for our use. (This is the first one I've bought, but we've used my son's for years.)

We travel with it every vacation
Color: Blue, Size: 7x7 FT (1～3 person)
Large blanket that packs small, is lightweight, sand proof, anchors easy with provided stakes and pockets for sand to weigh down- it stays put even in the strongest winds. Have taken to South Africa and Hawaii- everyone wants it!! Washes so easily.

Enough said. It was quick, easy, big and awesome! The 3 person fit 5 of us. It’s light, and folds up small. We used it on wet grass and didn’t get wet! It was awesome. Buying extras for presents.
