Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in water for 12-24 hours before planting to enhance germination.

Sowing:

Plant seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date when the soil temperature is consistently above 60°F (15°C).
Sow seeds 1 inch deep and 8-10 inches apart in rows spaced 24-30 inches apart.
For optimal pollination, plant popcorn in blocks of at least four rows rather than a single long row.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Popcorn is best sown directly in the soil. Transplanting is generally not recommended as popcorn has sensitive roots.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly, providing about 1 inch of water per week, especially during dry periods. Ensure even moisture during tasseling and ear development.
Mulching: Apply mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Support: Popcorn plants generally do not require support. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
Harvesting: Harvest Strawberry Popcorn when the husks are dry and brown, and the kernels are hard and fully colored. This is usually 85-100 days after planting. Twist the ear downwards to detach it from the stalk. Allow the ears to dry further in a well-ventilated area before shelling the kernels.
