Growing Tips

1. Planting: Sow seeds directly after the last frost date when soil temperatures are above 60°F (16°C). Space seeds 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) apart, with rows spaced 30–36 inches (75–90 cm) apart to ensure adequate airflow.
2. Watering: Maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season, especially during flowering and ear development. Deep watering encourages strong root growth and kernel development.
3. Fertilization: Use organic fertilizers such as compost or well-rotted manure to nourish your plants early in the season. Supplement with additional organic nitrogen as the plants mature.
4. Thinning: Thin plants to ensure proper spacing, which will allow them to grow strong and reduce the risk of disease or overcrowding.
5. Harvesting: Harvest when the kernels are fully developed, plump, and tender. Pick the ears when the husks are dry, and allow the ears to fully mature for storage or processing.
