Growing Tips

1. Planting: Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, when the soil temperature is above 60°F (16°C). Space seeds 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) apart, with 30–36 inches (75–90 cm) between rows for optimal growth.
2. Watering: Ensure consistent moisture, particularly during the pollination and ear-filling stages. Avoid waterlogging by ensuring the soil drains well.
3. Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer with a high nitrogen content early in the growing season to promote healthy plant growth. Switch to a potassium-rich fertilizer as the plants begin to form ears.
4. Thinning: Thin plants to allow for optimal spacing and airflow between rows, promoting healthier plants and preventing overcrowding.
5. Harvesting: Harvest when the kernels are fully developed and plump, and the husks have turned brown. For the sweetest flavor, pick the corn early in the morning before it becomes too starchy.
