SOWING: Outdoors in late spring when soil and weather have warmed and all danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds 4 to 6 inches apart and 1 inch deep.
THINNING: When established seedlings are 2 to 3 inches tall, thin them 8 to 12 inches apart.
GERMINATION: Usually 7 to 10 days. Keep seedbed moderately moist during germination. Plant in full sun.
Ed’s Special Advice: To conserve space and for best pollination, plant in blocks made up of short rows, thinned to 8 to 12 inches apart in all directions. Fertilize and cultivate soil prior to planting. To preserve best flavor and tenderness, pick corn just a few minutes before use. Sweet corn benefits from rich soil, side dress with fertilizer just before tassels appear and water deeply.
