Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

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

Direct sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date when soil temperatures reach at least 60°F (16°C).
Plant seeds 1-2 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart in rows spaced 30-36 inches apart.
Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.
Maintain consistent moisture in the soil during the germination period.
Transplanting:

Sweetcorn is best direct-sown and not typically transplanted due to its sensitive root system.
If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance.
Care and Maintenance:

Keep soil consistently moist, especially during tasseling and ear development.
Mulch around the base of plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Side-dress with a balanced fertilizer when plants are about 12 inches tall and again when they begin to tassel.
Monitor for pests like corn earworms and treat as necessary with organic or chemical controls.
Harvest when ears are plump, silks are brown, and kernels are milky when punctured.
