Growing Tips

1. Planting: Directly sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date, when soil temperatures have reached at least 60°F (16°C). Space the seeds 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) apart, with 24–36 inches (60–90 cm) between rows for optimal airflow and plant growth.
2. Watering: Consistent watering is essential, especially during the pollination stage and as the kernels develop. Avoid waterlogging and ensure that the soil drains well.
3. Fertilization: Provide plants with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer early in the growing season for vigorous growth. Switch to a potassium-rich fertilizer during pollination and kernel filling to support ear development.
4. Thinning: Once plants emerge, thin to maintain adequate spacing between each, allowing for proper light exposure and airflow, which can improve overall plant health.
5. Harvesting: Harvest when the kernels are plump and the husks are dry and brown. For the sweetest flavor, pick early in the morning, when the sugar content is at its peak.
