Growing Tips

1. Planting: Directly sow seeds into the soil after the last frost date, ensuring soil temperatures are consistently above 60°F (16°C). Space seeds 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) apart, with rows 30–36 inches (75–90 cm) apart.
2. Watering: Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during the critical stages of flowering and ear filling. Deep watering encourages strong kernel formation.
3. Fertilization: Apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer early in the growing season for healthy leaf growth. Switch to a balanced fertilizer with more phosphorus once the plants start to develop ears to promote kernel filling and ear growth.
4. Thinning: Thin seedlings to ensure adequate space for each plant, promoting airflow and reducing the likelihood of disease.
5. Harvesting: Harvest when the kernels are fully developed and the husks are dry. For optimal flavor and texture, pick the corn while the kernels are tender.
