Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring/Summer: Plant Chires Baby Corn seeds after the last frost date when the soil temperature is between 60-85°F (15-29°C). Ensure soil temperatures are warm enough for proper germination.
Planting Details
- Depth: Plant seeds 1-2 inches deep in well-prepared soil.
- Spacing: Space seeds 6-8 inches apart in rows, with 24-30 inches between rows to allow for the plants to grow and mature.
- Light: Corn requires full sun for optimal growth, so ensure it receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
- Soil: Preferably, plant in well-draining, fertile soil with a pH level of 6.0-6.8. Organic matter or compost can enrich soil for better growth.
Watering and Care
- Watering: Keep the soil moist, especially during germination and early growth stages. Once established, water deeply to encourage strong root systems.
- Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer high in nitrogen to encourage healthy growth, especially during the early stages of development.
- Weeding: Regularly remove weeds around the corn to ensure that plants aren’t competing for water and nutrients.
- Mulching: Use mulch to keep the soil moist, suppress weeds, and maintain even soil temperature.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Chires Baby Corn can be harvested in 50-60 days from planting. The ears are ready when they are about 2-4 inches long and are still tender.
- How to Harvest: Gently twist the ears off the stalk when they reach the desired size, ensuring you do not damage the plant. The best time to harvest is in the morning when the ears are at their peak of sweetness.
- Storage: For fresh use, store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. For long-term storage, blanch and freeze the mini ears for later use.
Perfect For
- Gourmet Cooking: Chires Baby Corn is perfect for stir-fries, salads, and Asian cuisine due to its small size and delicate flavor.
- Small Gardens: Ideal for gardeners with limited space, Chires Baby Corn grows well in containers, raised beds, or small garden plots.
- Early Harvesting: Its quick-growing nature makes it a great choice for gardeners who want early season corn for fresh eating.
