Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Sweetcorn seeds do not require any special preparation before planting. However, you can soak them in water for 12-24 hours before sowing to speed up germination.

Sowing:

Wait until the soil temperature is at least 60°F (16°C) and there is no danger of frost.
Plant seeds directly in the garden, 1-2 inches deep and 8-12 inches apart in rows that are 24-36 inches apart. Planting in blocks of rows (e.g., a 4x4 block) rather than a single long row will improve pollination.
If you are planting multiple varieties, ensure they are separated by at least 250 feet or plant them at different times to prevent cross-pollination.

Germination:

Sweetcorn seeds typically germinate in 7-10 days.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Sweetcorn is generally not transplanted as it grows best when direct-seeded into the garden.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Sweetcorn needs 1-1.5 inches of water per week. Water deeply at the base of the plants to encourage deep root growth.
Weeding: Keep the area around the plants weed-free, as weeds can compete for nutrients and water.
Harvesting: Sweetcorn is ready to harvest about 20 days after the silk first appears. Check for readiness by feeling the kernels through the husk—they should be full and milky. Harvest by twisting the ear downward to break it from the stalk.

Happy gardening!
