Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:

• Soak seeds in water for 12-24 hours before planting to enhance germination.

Sowing:

• Direct sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date when soil temperatures reach at least 60°F (16°C).
• Plant seeds 1-2 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart in rows spaced 30-36 inches apart.

Germination:

• Seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.
• Maintain consistent moisture in the soil during the germination period.

Transplanting:

• Sweetcorn is best direct-sown and not typically transplanted due to its sensitive root system.
• If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance.

Care and Maintenance:

• Keep soil consistently moist, especially during tasseling and ear development.
• Mulch around the base of plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Side-dress with a balanced fertilizer when plants are about 12 inches tall and again when they begin to tassel.
• Monitor for pests like corn earworms and treat as necessary with organic or chemical controls.

Harvesting:

• Harvest when ears are plump, silks are brown, and kernels are milky when punctured.
