Growing Tips
- Planting: Sow seeds directly into the soil after the last frost date, when soil temperatures are consistently above 60°F (16°C). Space seeds 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) apart, with rows 30–36 inches (75–90 cm) apart.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during the flowering and ear development stages. Deep watering is essential during pollination to ensure good kernel formation.
- Fertilization: Fertilize with a balanced nitrogen-rich fertilizer during the early growth stages to support strong leaf development. As the plant matures and begins to form ears, switch to a balanced fertilizer with higher phosphorus to encourage ear development.
- Thinning: Thin seedlings to avoid overcrowding and promote healthy air circulation. This ensures that each plant has enough space for proper growth and kernel development.
- Harvesting: Harvest when the kernels are fully developed, plump, and golden-yellow. The husks should be dry, and the kernels should have a firm texture. For the best taste and texture, harvest when the corn is still young and tender.
