Corn is a warm season tender annual and requires high fertility and deep, well-drained soil. Fertilize ground well in spring with high-quality compost or a complete fertilizer. Direct sow, (recommended), in full sun after soil has warmed to 65 degrees F and all danger of frost has passed, to ensure germination. Plant in blocks of at least 4 rows for adequate pollination. Once corn reaches 4 inches tall, thin out to 12″ apart. Side dress with fertilizer at 12″, or when leaves start yellowing. Corn must be well-watered due to their shallow roots. Water at base to avoid saturating stalks.
Harvest when ear silks have dried down, husk turns a dark green, and kernels are full and “milky”. Corn is generally ready 18-24 days after the first silk has formed.
