When the kernels are still light colored, the ears can be picked and used as sweet corn. Allowing the ears to mature, the kernels turn black, gray-black, or bluish-black in color. Harvested at that mature stage, it can be dried and ground for corn meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs with many heritage or heirloom seed varieties, the history of 'Black Mexican' becomes somewhat vague the farther back in time we dig.  What we do know is that Burr referenced it in his 1863 book on garden vegetable varieties[1] and in that same year, James J. H. Gregory listed it in his seed company's catalog.[2] In 1875, J. J. H. Gregory said of this variety, \"it is the sweetest and tenderest for table use of all varieties I am acquainted with.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years it has been known as, or synonymous with, 'Black Aztec', 'Black Sugar', 'Black Sweet', 'Mexican Sweet', and simply as 'Mexican'.  Fairly rare and in limited supply.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003ePlanting\u003cbr\u003e\nBlack Aztec corn is a warm-season vegetable, meaning it requires warm temperatures to germinate and grow. Plant Black Aztec corn when soil temperatures are at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit after the last frost date. Full sun and well-draining, rich soil are a must for this crop. Black Aztec corn will benefit from a 2-inch layer of compost mixed into the top 6 inches of soil at the planting site. Plant seeds in groups of three spaced every nine to 12 inches along a row. Cover each seed grouping with 1 1\/2 inches of soil and water thoroughly. Since this corn variety is open-pollinating, three to four short rows spaced 30 to 36 inches apart allow for adequate pollination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWatering\u003cbr\u003e\nAlthough Black Aztec corn is drought tolerant, supplemental watering is important to ensure a healthy, mature crop. It will grow in dry conditions, but cobs will be small with small, hard kernels. Soil moisture is especially critical when plants produce tassels for pollination and during fruit ripening. This corn variety grows best with at least 1 inch of water per week. Water corn rows when rainfall is scarce and when the top 1 inch of soil becomes dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFertilizing\u003cbr\u003e\nCorn plants are heavy nitrogen feeders, and the Black Aztec variety is no exception. Nitrogen deficiencies in Black Aztec corn cause leaves to turn yellow and growth to slow. Two high-nitrogen fertilizer applications during the growing season will ensure the crop has sufficient nutrients. Fertilize the corn plants with a 46-0-0 fertilizer when they reach 12 to 15 inches in height. Spread the fertilizer in a line, four to six inches to the side of the plants' bases, at a rate of 1\/2 pound per 100 square feet. Rake the fertilizer into the soil and water the ground thoroughly. Make the second application at a rate of 1\/4 pound per 100 square feet when plants produce silk tassels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance\u003cbr\u003e\nBlack Aztec corn requires minimal maintenance besides watering and fertilizing. Regular weeding around the rows will stop unwanted plants from absorbing nitrogen meant for the corn plants. Removing weeds also eliminates hiding spots for corn pests such as the corn earworm, European corn borer, fall armyworm or corn rootworm. If these insects become a problem, set traps around the corn plants to attract and catch the insects. This works well for small infestations only. Larger populations must be treated with an insecticide sprayed onto the plant's leaves every five days when the insect's eggs hatch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shortcake Farms \"The Seed Vault\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41195681906862,"sku":null,"price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/7927\/7230\/products\/il_fullxfull.2418147860_8xry_9cb7a376-3adc-48c3-b9e4-150412ae82df.jpg?v=1631678500"},{"product_id":"rare-heirloom-organic-peruvian-purple-corn-seeds-maiz-morado-or-incan-ceremonial-maiz-www-hardyorganics-com","title":"RARE Heirloom Organic Peruvian purple Corn Seeds (Maiz Morado or Incan Ceremonial Maiz)","description":"\u003cp\u003eRARE Heirloom Organic Peruvian Purple Corn Seeds (10) (Maiz Morado) Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeruvian Purple Flint Corn ‘Maiz Morado’- Tall growing variety is the main ingredient in Peru's popular drink \"Chicha Morada.\" Stalks reach up to 13' (4m) and produce medium-sized ears of superb dark purple color.

Very early, very tasty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1902, 'Golden Bantam' was introduced and prominently featured in the Burpee catalog. Before 1900, most people thought that yellow corn was fit only for animal feed. Within a few years of the release of 'Golden Bantam', people in the United States began to favor yellow corn over white, black and orange sweet corn varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrior to receiving its name from W. Atlee Burpee, 'Golden Bantam' started out as a personal variety of one man. The story of its origins was described in the 1903 W. A. Burpee Farm Annual as follows: There was \"an old gentleman, a farmer in Greenfield, Massachusetts named William Chambers, \". . . who had a fancy for furnishing his friends with some choice early corn long before they had thought of having any ripe enough for the table,— but he would never let any of them have any to plant.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Mr. Chambers passed away in about 1891, the variety was, \". . . kept pure and constantly selected by Mr. J. G. Pickett, also of Greenfield, Massachusetts. Then in the spring of 1900 a friend of W. Atlee Burpee named E. L. Coy, a veteran seed grower from New York, happened to be visiting family in Greenfield and was served the corn as part of a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRealizing its potential for the seed trade, Mr. Coy sought out and obtained all of the seed that Mr. Pickett could spare, which was less than two quarts.  He sent the seed off to Mr. Burpee writing, \"You now own the very sweetest and richest corn ever known , and I am very glad to help you to its ownership.  For two years, W. Atlee Burpee trialed and increased the seed inventory and then rechristening it as 'Golden Bantam', introduced it to the public in 1902.  The rest is history!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo what is the rest of the story? How did William Chambers create his corn variety? The first named variety of yellow sweet corn was introduced in the late 1860s by James J. H. Gregory of Marblehead, Massachusetts and called 'Golden Sweet'. Mr. Chambers started with that variety and worked for many years, \". . . selecting and refining the gold until he had produced the substantial improvements which characterize the newer variety. Evidently, the demand for a yellow or golden sweet corn was limited and by the late 1880s, 'Golden Sweet' had disappeared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncidentally, 'Golden Sweet' was bred and stabilized from a cross between a yellow field corn called \"Common Yellow\" and the first sweet corn variety given a proper name, 'Darling's Early'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shortcake Farms \"The Seed Vault\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41250517024942,"sku":"412505170249_934C","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/7927\/7230\/products\/il_fullxfull.2426720331_6rum.jpg?v=1631678877"},{"product_id":"heirloom-organic-native-american-mandan-bride-corn-seeds","title":"Heirloom Organic Native American Mandan Bride Corn Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeirloom Organic Native American Mandan Bride Corn Seeds 15\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAttributed to the Mandan tribe of North Dakota; this Native American flour corn was planted by Mandan women along with beans, sunflowers, and squash.
