RARE Mayan White Maize Corn Seeds - Heirloom Vegetable Seeds
Zea mays
Listing is for 1 packet of minimum 30 seeds

This is a traditional white maize or dent corn grown by the Mayans. It is not the same as sweet corn. The cobs are allowed to fully dry on the plants before harvesting. The kernels are shucked off and used in a variety of recipes such as in making corn flour, masa for tortillas, pozole and much more. Plants get around 8FT tall and typically each stalk produces 2 cobs. I only grew a small crop to test them out so seeds are limited. They grew fantastic in my Florida garden with high disease and pest pressure so I will be planting a lot more next season. It takes 85 days from seed to produce the cobs. Then it takes additional 1-2 months for the cobs to dry out on the stalks and be ready for harvest. 

My top 3 tips for successfully growing corn - or go visit my YouTube channel Jerra's Garden to watch my How to Grow Corn video: https://youtu.be/XhrJQ09dajQ

1. Corn must be grown in a decent size block in order to properly pollinate and produce full ears of corn. Corn is wind pollinated. The tassels that form at the top release pollen in the air that floats down and lands on the silks. Every silk is attached to a single kernel on the cob of corn. If the silk doesn't get pollinated, the kernel will not grow resulting in cobs of corn with gaps in it. Do not grow just a few plants. Ideally you would want a 8ft x 4ft growing area, with at least 4 rows. I sow/plant the corn 8-10 inches apart. 

2. The corn ear worms will come so be ready. These are small brown worms that bore into the stalk and ultimately into the forming cobs of corn. They will ruin the entire cob. What makes it so difficult, is that once they bore into the stalk/cob, its hard to treat for the worms. I highly recommend the use of spinosad. BT will also work ok, but its not as effective as spinosad against this particular type of worm. Spinosad is slightly stronger and has the added benefit of killing the worm on contact (BT does not). I spray at the first signs of worm chewing damage on the leaves to reduce the population before they work their way into the stalks/cobs. FYI this maize didn't get infested by worms as much as when I grow sweet corn. 

3. Corn is a grass relative. They need high amounts of nitrogen fertilizer to grow strong, lush, green stalks which in turn produce bigger and fuller cobs of corn. Look for fertilizers that are high in nitrogen, at least 10% by weight or more. Apply small amounts of fertilizer every 3 weeks to keep a consistent supply of nitrogen for the plants.

4. Corn loves water. The plants will dry and brown up if the soil is too dry just like grass. Make sure moisture levels stay consistent. 

5. If you plan to save your own seed, please note that corn very easily cross pollinates with other corn varieties. Plant each variety at minimum 150FT apart to avoid cross pollination.

PLANTING

Germination: 7-14 days

Seed Sowing Depth: 1-2 inches deep 

Sowing: Everyone recommends to direct sow corn as soon as soil temperatures reach over 85F. For some reason I have terrible germination when I direct sow corn. I believe my soil is just too moist since I am in Florida, which rots out the seeds. Because of this, I sow the seeds in 72-cell seed trays, 1 seed per cell, and transplant at the 3 week mark. It works perfectly every time. It is important to transplant no later than the 3 week mark or they get root bound which stunts their growth. 

Days to maturity: 85

Cleared up my skin!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I have been using this soap for a little over a year. I was on accutane to cure really stubborn acne and when I got off my acne came back. I started using this paired with a beef tallow and honey moisturizer as my only skincare and it cleared up my skin so well. I love this soap and it is so natural and nontoxic. Amazing product.

Great Value for size
Scent: Unscented, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 2)
Great value for the size, has an almost milky scent which is quite nice, gentle on the skin, and clean ingredients. If you're looking for body soap without any chemicals, I highly recommend this product.

Truth
Scent: Unscented, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I have used this product for just 4 days now. This will be good and bad. A good all natural soap is not going to sud up like other soaps, I was shocked when I read some of the reviews and suds or the lack of suds seemed to be a big issue. This soap has very little suds. Another issue was smell. I do not notice any smell at all, the next time I order this product I would like to try the lemon for a little sent. This bar will last a long time, a little really gos along way. I do not notice any dryness but my skins feels tighter which makes me think it’s dry. I use my favorite body lotion and all is good. After the first use my skin was noticeably brighter. I had a pimple on my chin that was forming. I left the soap on my face for about 1 min. The next morning the pimple was nearly gone day two completely gone. I use a face cream called Just Tallow and combined with this soap it’s a perfect match. Tonight I put some soap on my feet and scrubbed them with a pumice stone and my feet are so soft right now. This is a good product and I will order again.

Good but not so good
Scent: Mineral Pool, Size: 4.5 Ounce (Pack of 2)
Good soap. If you have sensitive skin or cuts on your hands, it will irritate them. I bought 3 different scents and all 3 made gave my hands inflammation. I really like the smell of them. They make my hands feel soft.
