Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring/Summer: Plant Atomic Orange Corn seeds after the last frost date when the soil temperature has reached about 60°F (15°C). Corn requires warm weather and is frost-sensitive.
Planting Details
- Depth: Plant seeds about 1-2 inches deep in well-prepared soil.
- Spacing: Space seeds approximately 8-12 inches apart within rows that are about 30-36 inches apart. This will allow for ample room for the plants to grow and develop strong stalks.
- Light: Atomic Orange Corn thrives in full sun, requiring about 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to achieve optimal growth.
- Soil: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 6.0-7.0).
Watering and Care
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the germination period and as the plants mature. Corn needs plenty of water during the growing season, particularly when the ears are forming.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost at planting time to promote healthy growth. Once the plants are established, a high-nitrogen fertilizer can help encourage strong stalks and healthy ears.
- Mulching: Use mulch to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth, but avoid placing it directly against the plant stems to prevent rot.
- Weeding: Keep the area around the corn free of weeds to prevent competition for nutrients.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Atomic Orange Corn typically takes about 80-100 days to mature. The ears should be harvested when the kernels are plump and firm, and the husks are fully developed and dry.
- How to Harvest: Twist or pull the ears from the stalk when fully ripe. Check the kernels by pressing them – they should be firm and filled with a milky liquid.
- Storage: Store harvested ears in a cool, dry place until fully dried. Kernels can then be removed from the cob for long-term storage or grinding into cornmeal.
Uses
- Fresh Eating: Enjoy the sweet kernels of Atomic Orange Corn fresh from the cob, whether grilled, boiled, or roasted.
- Canning and Freezing: This corn can be canned or frozen for use in soups, stews, and other dishes throughout the year.
- Cornmeal: The bright, sweet kernels can also be ground into cornmeal for baking or making tortillas.
- Decorative: Atomic Orange Corn is also ideal for fall decorations or as part of harvest-themed displays, adding a splash of color to the season.
Coverage
- Packet: A packet of Atomic Orange Corn seeds typically covers about 25-30 square feet, depending on the spacing.
