Planting Instructions: Soil Preparation and Fertilizing: For small gardens, sweet corn is best planted in square blocks instead of long rows to improve cross-pollination between corn stalks. Corn will grow best in areas with plenty of sunlight and prefers well-drained soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.0. To prepare the soil, clear the area of rocks, trash, and large sticks. Small pieces of grass and leaves can be mixed into the soil to make it richer. Spade the soil 8-10 inches deep and completely cover plant material. You may optionally scatter 2-3 pounds of a complete fertilizer for every 100 square feet of garden area. Rake it into the top 4 inches of soil. Rake the soil until it is smooth. Planting: Sweet corn is best planted after the soil warms and is free from all danger of frost. Plant 1-2 ounces of seed for every 100 feet of row. Sweet corn grows best when planted in several short rows instead of one long row. This makes it easier for the plants to pollinate and grow plump juicy kernels. Plant corn seeds 1 inch deep and 3-4 inches apart. Space rows 2 1/2 - 3 feet apart. After the plants are up, thin them to 1 foot apart. For a steady harvest, plant again after 2-3 weeks. Planting Depth: 1 inch Within-Row Spacing: 3-4 inch, thin to 1 foot Between-Row Spacing: 2 1/2 - 3 feet Care During the Season: Watering: Water sweet corn as needed to keep it from wilting. When kernels are forming, try not to let the corn suffer from lack of water. Weeding and Fertilizing: Hoe the weeds off just below the soil's' surface. Try not to work the soil more than 1 inch deep to prevent injuring root systems. When corn plants are about 2 feet fall, you may optionally apply 1 cup of fertilizer for every 10 feet of garden row. Scatter fertilizer evenly between rows and mix it lightly with the soil. Water after fertilizing. Insecticides: Insecticides may be used to protect plants. Bt-based insecticides and sulfur are organic options that can be used for prevention. Sevin is a synthetic option. Sulfur also has fungicidal properties and helps in controlling many diseases. Before using a pesticide, please read the label and always follow cautions, warnings and directions. Diseases: If a few of your corn plants are stunted, they may have a viral disease and should be removed to keep the virus from spreading. Harvesting: Corn are ready for harvest about 3 weeks after the tassel grows on top of the corn plant. Corn is ripe when juice from the kernels is milky white, the silk on the ears has turned dark brown, the ears are firm, and kernels on the tips of the unhusked ears are plump and milky. Sweet corn is not ready when the juice of the kernel is watery. It is overripe when the kernels get large, chewy, and pasty like dough (starchy). The The best time to pick corn is in the early morning or evening when it is cool. To harvest the ears, hold the stalk below the ear and twist the tip of the ear toward the ground until it breaks off. Cook the corn right away, or store it in the refrigerator until mealtime. Corn loses flavor and nutrients quickly when left athigh temperature. Watch the corn closely because the quality changes fast. To store corn, keep corn in the husk and place in the refrigerator uncovered for 1 or 2 days. Corn stored for more than 2 daysloses its sweetness.
