AMBROSIA HYBRID SWEET CORN SEEDS - 50 COUNT

Description: 50AMBROSIA HYBRIDSWEET CORNSEEDS Planting Guide for Ambrosia Hybrid Sweet Corn: 1. Choosing the Right Time: Ambrosia Hybrid Sweet Corn requires warm soil and temperatures ranging from 65°F to 95°F for optimal growth. Wait until all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up before planting. Typically, this is around 2-3 weeks after the last frost date. 2. Soil Preparation: Select a well-draining soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. Remove any weeds, rocks, or debris from the planting area. Loosen the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches using a garden fork or tiller. Incorporate organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, into the soil to improve its fertility and structure. 3. Planting: Plant Ambrosia Hybrid Sweet Corn seeds directly into the soil, as they do not transplant well. Create furrows that are approximately 1 inch deep and 12-18 inches apart. Plant the seeds about 4-6 inches apart within the furrows. Cover the seeds with soil and gently firm it down to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. 4. Fertilization: Corn is a heavy feeder, so it's essential to provide adequate nutrients for optimal growth. Before planting, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer according to the package instructions. Once the plants reach around 6 inches in height, side-dress them with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Repeat this application every 3-4 weeks. 5. Watering: Sweet corn requires consistent moisture throughout the growing season. Water the plants regularly, providing about 1 inch of water per week. If rainfall is insufficient, supplement with irrigation. Aim to water deeply, saturating the root zone, rather than surface watering. Avoid overhead watering, as it can promote diseases. 6. Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as straw or shredded leaves, around the base of the plants. Mulching helps retain soil moisture, suppress weed growth, and maintain a more consistent soil temperature. 7. Weed Control: Keep the planting area weed-free to prevent competition for nutrients and moisture. Mulching will help suppress weeds, but hand-pull any that manage to emerge. Be careful not to disturb the shallow corn roots. Harvest Guide for Ambrosia Hybrid Sweet Corn: 1. Monitoring: Depending on the variety, Ambrosia Hybrid Sweet Corn typically takes about 75-90 days from planting to harvest. Monitor the plants regularly as they approach maturity to determine the right time for picking. 2. Signs of Maturity: The first sign of maturity is the appearance of silky threads at the tip of the ears. These threads will start turning brown and drying out. Additionally, the husks will become dark green and tightly wrapped around the ear. 3. Timing: Harvest Ambrosia Hybrid Sweet Corn when the silk threads have turned brown, but before they start to dry out completely. Peel back a small section of the husk and puncture a kernel with your thumbnail. If a milky liquid sprays out, the corn is ready for harvest. If the liquid is clear, the corn needs more time. 4. Harvesting Technique: Grasp the ear firmly and pull it downward with a twisting motion until it breaks away from the stalk. Avoid yanking or pulling directly on the ear, as it may damage the plant. Harvest the ears as soon as they are ready to ensure the best flavor and sweetness. 5. Post-Harvest: Once harvested, remove the husks immediately and rinse the ears with cold water to remove any silk or debris. Enjoy the corn as soon as possible for the best taste, as the sugars in sweet corn start to convert to starch shortly after harvest. Following these planting and harvest guidelines for Ambrosia Hybrid Sweet Corn will help ensure a successful and bountiful crop of delicious, sweet corn.
