Growing Tips

1. Planting: Directly sow seeds outdoors after the last frost, when soil temperatures are consistently above 60°F (16°C). Plant seeds 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) deep, spacing them 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) apart in rows with 30–36 inches between rows.
2. Watering: Corn requires regular watering, particularly during the pollination and kernel development stages. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
3. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer before planting and once or twice during the growing season, particularly during the early stages and again when the plants start to form ears.
4. Thinning: Thin seedlings to 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) apart to allow for proper growth and maximize the yield per plant.
5. Harvesting: Harvest when the ears are fully mature, with well-filled kernels. The husk should be green and tight, and the kernels should be plump and firm. This usually occurs around 75–85 days after planting.
