Corn likes hot summers. Corn should be planted in specific patterns and distances, and separated by rows. Plant the seeds directly in the garden. Plant your seeds 2 weeks after the last frost date and when the soil has warmed up. Corn needs warm soil to germinate. The seeds may rot if the soil is too cool. The soil temperature needs to be higher than 75°F. Corn is pollinated by the wind, so it is important to plant the seeds in blocks of at least 3 rows in each direction. Planting in blocks also protects stalks from damage from high winds. Plants can grow 3 to 8 ft tall.
Warning: Do not plant in cold, wet soil, or you may experience poor germination!
Requires well-loose, rich soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.
Water during dry and hot spells.
Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when planting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle-Gro and side dress with 33-0-0 plant food.
Carefully pull back the husk to see if the kernels are fully formed. Use a sharp knife to remove corn from stalks.
