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 allow for proper airflow.
2. Watering: Maintain consistent moisture levels throughout the growing season, especially during flowering and ear formation. Water deeply to support strong root growth and kernel development.
3. Fertilization: Use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer during early growth stages for healthy foliage. Switch to a phosphorus-rich fertilizer when the ears start to form to ensure optimal kernel development.
4. Thinning: Thin seedlings to ensure adequate space between plants for proper growth and to reduce the risk of disease.
5. Harvesting: Harvest when the kernels are fully mature, plump, and tender. For best taste and texture, pick the ears while still in the "milk stage" for fresh consumption or wait for full maturity if preserving the corn.
