{"product_id":"sweet-corn-freedom-mxr-f1","title":"Sweet Corn Freedom MXR F1","description":"\u003cp\u003eAttractive 7½ - 8” ears with superior Xtra-Tender™ eating quality, kernel color, and flavor are well protected by dark green husks with long flag leaves. Freedom MXR matures in 73 days and features widely adaptable 5½' plants with remarkable seedling vigor, improved lodging tolerance, and high resistance to Rust and Maize Dwarf Mosaic Virus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTART SEEDS OUTDOORS\u003cbr\u003eIn spring, once weather is warm and settled and night temperatures stay securely above 55°F (13°C), plant seeds in well-worked, fertile soil in full sun. Poke seeds in 1 inch deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. Plant in a block of 4 side-by-side rows, each row at least 1 foot apart. Thin seedlings to 1 foot apart when several inches tall. Protect from marauding birds if necessary. If first sowing doesn’t germinate evenly, replant right away as new seedlings catch up quickly. Make several sowings 2 or 3 weeks apart until early June to have successive harvests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGROWING NOTES\u003cbr\u003eThere is no need to isolate Sugar Pearl from other varieties, but plant seeds in blocks of at least 4 parallel rows to ensure good wind pollination and well filled out ears. Corn is a heavy feeder, so add plenty of compost or aged manure to the soil at sowing time, and then fertilize when young plants are 7 to 8 inches tall and again as ears begin to form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHARVEST AND USE\u003cbr\u003eWell filled out ears of corn are ready to eat when the silks are very dark brown but not dried out. Test by choosing a plump ear and peeling back the husk very slightly. The kernels should be tender and milky when slit with a fingernail. Sugar Pearl is a SE corn, so the tender crisp kernels will hold their sweetness after harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeeding depth: 1 - 1.25 inches\u003cbr\u003eGermination days: 6 - 12 days\u003cbr\u003eMaturation days: 73 days\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haiyiplants","offers":[{"title":"30 Seeds","offer_id":51778769944893,"sku":null,"price":4.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Seeds","offer_id":51778769977661,"sku":null,"price":6.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Seeds","offer_id":51778770010429,"sku":null,"price":10.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200 Seeds","offer_id":51778770043197,"sku":null,"price":16.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0107\/1487\/3956\/files\/2_612d5a29-770c-4c06-bdf9-149584394ff7.jpg?v=1780321202","url":"https:\/\/seedsplant.com\/products\/sweet-corn-freedom-mxr-f1","provider":"Seedsplant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
