A fine-quality, heavy-bearing variety, it combines good garden performance with the rich flavour expected from traditional open-pollinated corn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants produce well-filled cobs with tender, sweet kernels that are best harvested while young, plump and milky. Enjoy fresh from the cob, steamed, boiled or grilled, or cut the kernels from the cob for salads, fritters, soups, salsas and preserving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell adapted to Australian conditions, Jolly Roger is a productive choice for home gardens and growers wanting an open-pollinated alternative to modern hybrid sweet corn. Like all corn, it performs best with plenty of fertility, sunshine and water during active growth and cob development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCorn originated in the Americas and has been cultivated and selected by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years, developing into an extraordinary diversity of colours, forms and culinary types. Open-pollinated varieties such as Jolly Roger can be seed saved from year to year, allowing growers to maintain the variety and continue selecting plants particularly well adapted to their own conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 80 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Spring to autumn\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Spring to summer\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Spring to early summer\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring after the last frost to early summer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow directly into warm soil approximately 2–3 cm deep. Space plants approximately 20–30 cm apart, with rows 50–75 cm apart. Plant in blocks of several short rows rather than a single long row to encourage effective wind pollination and well-filled cobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCorn is a heavy feeder and benefits from fertile soil, generous organic matter and additional feeding during active growth. Water deeply during dry weather, particularly during flowering, pollination and cob development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest when the silks have browned and the kernels are plump and release a milky liquid when pierced. Sweet corn is at its best soon after harvest, before the natural sugars in the kernels begin converting to starch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf saving seed, isolate Jolly Roger from other corn varieties flowering at the same time. Corn is readily wind pollinated over considerable distances, so substantial physical isolation or sufficiently staggered planting times are required to maintain the variety true to type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety.
