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

Stylish, Reliable Grinders That Work Great Every Day
Color: Clear Glass, Size: 2pk
I purchased the Home EC stainless steel salt and pepper grinder set to replace an older mismatched pair, and these have been a solid upgrade for everyday kitchen use. They look clean and modern on the countertop and perform consistently whether I’m cooking or seasoning at the table. The adjustable ceramic grinders make it easy to switch between fine and coarse settings, which is especially useful when cooking different types of meals. ✅ Pros Solid stainless steel construction – feels sturdy and well made Adjustable ceramic grinding mechanism – easy to fine‑tune grind size Smooth, consistent grinding – no sticking or uneven output Clear window to see contents – helps avoid running out unexpectedly Comfortable to hold – good size and weight for regular use ❌ Cons Manual grinding only – not ideal if you prefer electric grinders Refilling requires removing the top – simple, but not spill‑proof No labeling included – easy to mix up salt and pepper if you use similar grains ⚠️ Things to Consider Before Buying Works best with dry sea salt and whole peppercorns Ceramic grinders are durable but should not be washed in the dishwasher If you cook in large quantities often, you may prefer a larger capacity grinder 👍 Reasons to Buy Practical and attractive addition to any kitchen or dining table Adjustable grind makes them versatile for cooking and finishing dishes Durable enough for daily use without feeling bulky Good value for a matching set, and you can often find a better price on Amazon compared to kitchen stores ✅ Final Thoughts Overall, the Home EC Premium Stainless Steel Salt and Pepper Grinder Set offers a nice balance of style, durability, and functionality. If you’re looking for dependable manual grinders with adjustable settings for everyday use, this set is a great choice. — Reviewed after regular home kitchen use

Practical and elegant grinder for daily use
Color: Silver single
I bought this manual salt and pepper grinder and in general I thought it was a very good option for the kitchen. The design is elegant and the glass body allows you to easily see when it is time to refill it. In addition, the stainless steel lid helps keep the spices fresh and prevents residues from falling on the table. The ceramic blades grind both coarse salt and pepper well, and I liked that the thickness can be adjusted according to what you need, from a fine grind to a thicker one. It is also easy to recharge and clean. After several uses it works properly and feels resistant for daily use.

Hand size mighty grinder
Color: Silver single
Hi- I think this is a good grinder although to this point I ground about 2/3 of the glass chamber full of a good quality peppercorn. I like a coarse grind and this device gives that grind consistently. I like the cover and it's fit. The overall look is pleasing and think it's a good bang for the buck. It's easy to use and adjusts to your personal needs or wants. If your debating this device and am worried if you'll get years of use I know I don't force it but rather learn to allow the tool to do the work. I think it will last me for quite a while and even if I have to replace it once a year it's a well built unit that you can enjoy using. If you have arthritic hands and use this for hard products like fresh peppercorns or coarse Himalayan salt then treat yourself to a good rechargeable grinder (or better yet ask your children to get you one for all the great meals you make for them & have made for them !) Thanks for the read. I hope this helps. Greybeard

At Last! A Grinder That Can Grind Flaxseed!!!
Color: Silver single
I'm so excited -- my search for a manual flaxseed grinder is over! After spending countless hours -- nay, days & weeks! -- searching for a simple, manual spice grinder that worked well for flaxseeds, I found this little $7 gem! Just got it today & immediately tested it out... with GREAT results! At first I was disappointed to see that the grinding mechanism is plastic, but it sure did the job! It has a little dial to adjust the coarseness, which is nice. Also love that the container is glass; and larger than I thought. Easy to refill & I expect it'll be easy to clean. I think the ease of grinding will depend on how tightly or loosely you adjust the dial; at its tightest, I couldn't twist it at all, but loosening it allowed me to use it easily and it still gave me a fine grind. Highly recommend it... can't beat the value!
