Growing Tips
- Planting: Sow seeds directly into well-prepared soil after the last frost date, once the soil temperature is consistently above 60°F (16°C). Space seeds 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) apart, with rows 30–36 inches (75–90 cm) apart for optimal airflow and growth.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during the critical periods of ear development and pollination. Ensure that the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer with an emphasis on nitrogen during the early growth stages to promote strong foliage and plant health. As the plant matures, use a more balanced fertilizer to support ear formation and kernel development.
- Thinning: Thin seedlings to prevent overcrowding and allow each plant ample space to develop fully. This helps reduce competition for sunlight and nutrients.
- Harvesting: Harvest when the kernels are plump, firm, and golden yellow. The husks should be dry, and the kernels should have reached full maturity. For optimal flavor and texture, harvest while the corn is still young and tender.
