Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required for sweetcorn seeds. However, soaking seeds in water for 12-24 hours before planting can help speed up germination.

Sowing:

Plant seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date when the soil temperature has reached at least 60°F (16°C).
Sow seeds 1-2 inches deep and space them 8-12 inches apart in rows spaced 24-36 inches apart to allow for adequate spacing and pollination.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.
Maintain consistent moisture during the germination period to ensure good seedling establishment.

Transplanting:

Sweetcorn is typically direct-seeded rather than transplanted. However, if starting seeds indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week before transplanting.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Provide consistent moisture throughout the growing season, especially during the tasseling and silking stages.

Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Pollination: Corn requires adequate pollination for good ear development. Plant in blocks rather than single rows to facilitate wind pollination.

Happy Gardening!
