Growing Tips

1. Planting: Sow seeds directly into the soil after the last frost, when soil temperatures are consistently above 60°F (16°C). Space seeds 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) apart in rows, with 30–36 inches (75–90 cm) between rows.
2. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during the pollination and kernel filling stages. Water deeply to promote strong root development but avoid waterlogging.
3. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting, and follow up with a high-nitrogen fertilizer during early growth. Once ears begin to form, switch to a phosphorus-rich fertilizer.
4. Thinning: Thin seedlings to 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) apart to ensure optimal growth and adequate air circulation.
5. Harvesting: Harvest the ears when they are plump, firm, and the husk is green and tightly wrapped around the cob. The silk should be brown and dry when the corn is ready to pick.
