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.

I love it!
Color: Black/White/Silver-Tone
I have had this watch for 1.5 years now. I bought it for a trip to Venice, which operates on military time. It was hard to find a nice analog watch with military time...this one was the clear winner! I LOVE IT! It has always been super-dependable for correct time, and the little light makes it readable every time!! The band it comes with looks very nice, but it's really not a permanent band. I bought a silver expandable band on amazon, and I am super-happy with the combo. Do check it over for defects and have them replace it if anything's wrong (I did this initially because the light stopped working) but don't be afraid to try them again. They will take care of you.

Great little watch that I am. happy to recommend.
Color: Black/White/Silver-Tone
I kept searching for a good simple hardworking, easy-to-read watch and Amazon kept leading me to these no name nurses watches. Well they did not last. Finally I got smart and searched by putting Timex watch and found this little beauty. This watch is perfect. It's easy to read, it has a glow light so I can check it in the dark, seems to be waterproof, and it takes a licking and keeps on ticking. It even looks nice.

Strap fabric fraying around holes after 2 days. Could have been perfect with better strap fabric.
Color: Black/White/Silver-Tone
Exactly the kind of watch I’ve been looking for. For me, it would be the perfect watch. It looks great and is lightweight enough that I don’t notice it on my wrist. Except the watchband fabric seems rather cheap and is fraying around the holes after only 2 days of wearing it. I can’t see how it’s going to last even a year, and I’m unable to find a replacement strap in the correct width.

True to Description - Excellent Watch
I've had this watch for about a week and am extremely pleased with it. It's been over 20 years since I actually owned a watch,I just didn't need one until after I retired and began losing track of time (not such a bad thing.) I was relying on my iPhone but got tired of having to take it out to see the time.. So I broke down and purchased this Women's T2N837 watch with white nylon band. I love the colorful numbers which makes it a 'happy' watch. The second hand is wonderful, and it keeps great time. It's as quiet as can be and so comfortable that I forget it's even on my wrist. I have small wrists but the face is not overwhelming, in fact it's just right. There are plenty of holes in the band to adjust to my small wrist. The white nylon band is getting a little dingy just from normal wear, but I figure I can wash it with some soft detergent and scrub it if I need to with a toothbrush. If it becomes too much, I can always purchase a color band to replace it. I recommend it for anyone who is thinking about purchasing a reliable, comfortable and inexpensive watch.

Timex should be ashamed
Color: Black/White/Silver-Tone
Bought this for my wife because she likes my Timex Weekender, but the 38mm is to large for her. I’m incredibly disappointed in the quality on hers.
- the crown/stem is incredibly hard to pull out due to the lack of any lubrication on the setting lever or clutch wheel. You can feel it when pulling the crown to set the time, that is if you can even pull it out. It’s stuck in the watch and you have to pull with such force it will break the crown off or the stems internal components will wear prematurely.
- the seconds hand doesn’t hit the markers which honestly is not a huge deal on a watch this price. It’s hit or miss for watches of any brand in this price range.
- the hour hand is misaligned. This is a issue and not acceptable no matter the price of the watch, especially for Timex.
I’m not happy at all and quite disappointed. Timex should be ashamed to sell a watch leaving the factory like this.
