20+ Seeds- Corn Seeds -(Sugar baby Corn) -A004-Sweet Corn
This corn is delightfully tender with a rich, creamy sweetness
Season: Warm season
Environment: Full-sun
Latin name:Zea mays
Timing:
Direct sow in late spring. If the soil is not warm enough, seeds often rot before sprouting – especially when not treated with fungicide. Untreated corn seeds should be planted only when the soil has warmed up above 18°C (65°F) – warmer for super-sweet (sh2) types, and even warmer for a good stand. Use a soil thermometer. If spring weather is cold, consider planting in flats or individual pots, indoors with bottom heat, for transplanting. Seeds should germinate in 7-10 days. If it rains after planting and corn does not emerge, just re-plant the area.
Starting:
Do not soak corn seeds prior to planting. Plant 2-5cm (1-2″) deep (shallower for sh2 seed or in cool soil). Sow seeds around 7.5cm (3″) apart, in rows 55-75cm (22-30″) apart. Because corn is wind pollinated, plant in a dense block of at least 4 rows, rather than in single rows. This increases the chance of corn pollen, which emerges from male flowers at the growing tip, to fall down onto the receptive female silks that extend from each corn cob.
Height: 1 to 2 m (39" to 78")
Growing:
Ideal pH: 5.8-6.8. Corn is a heavy feeder, so add manure or compost, and use 500g (1 lb) of complete organic fertilizer per 6m (60′) of row, mixing it thoroughly into the soil beneath each seed furrow. Thin to at least 20-30cm (8-12″) apart in the row. Large eared and double-eared varieties need to be 30cm (24″) apart. Keep free of weeds until knee-high, and then leave it alone.
Plant 3-4 seeds per hill in hills spaced 30cm (12") apart
Harvest
When the silks at the end of an ear are a dry brown, the cob seems to start to droop, and the kernels release milky juice when cut. Approx 70 days
Seed Info:
In optimal conditions at least 90% of seeds
