Growing Tips

1. Planting: Directly sow seeds outdoors 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 between rows.
2. Watering: Maintain consistent moisture during the growing season, particularly during flowering and kernel development. Water deeply but avoid waterlogging the soil.
3. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer before planting and once during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and optimal ear production.
4. Thinning: Thin plants to 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) apart to allow for optimal growth and air circulation around each plant.
5. Harvesting: Harvest when the kernels are fully developed, firm, and plump. The husk should be green and tightly wrapped around the cob, and the silk should be brown and dry. This typically occurs 75–85 days after planting.
