Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring/Summer: Plant Art Verrell's Sweet corn after the last frost has passed, when the soil temperature is consistently above 60°F (15°C).
Planting Details
- Depth: Plant the seeds 1-2 inches deep in well-drained soil.
- Spacing: Space seeds 8-12 inches apart, with rows about 30 inches apart to allow for proper growth.
- Light: This variety requires full sun to thrive, so ensure it gets at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.
- Soil: Corn thrives in loamy, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 6.0-7.0). Adding compost or organic matter will help improve soil structure.
Watering and Care
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the early stages of growth and while the ears are developing. Aim for about 1-1.5 inches of water per week.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting time and consider side-dressing with a high-nitrogen fertilizer when the plants reach about 6-8 inches in height.
- Weeding: Keep the area around the plants clear of weeds, which can compete for nutrients. Use mulch to suppress weeds and conserve moisture.
- Mulching: Mulching around the base of the plants helps maintain soil moisture and temperature.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Art Verrell's Sweet corn is usually ready to harvest in about 80-90 days, depending on your growing conditions. The silks will turn brown and the kernels will be full and plump when it's time to harvest.
- How to Harvest: Twist the ears off the stalks carefully. Be sure to harvest before the kernels become overripe, as this will keep the corn tender and sweet.
- Storage: Corn tastes best when eaten fresh. However, if you need to store it, freeze the ears after blanching to preserve their flavor and texture.
Uses
- Fresh Eating: Art Verrell's Sweet is excellent for eating fresh right off the cob, thanks to its naturally sweet flavor.
- Grilling and Roasting: The sweet, tender kernels are perfect for grilling or roasting, where their flavor can truly shine.
- Cooking: Use Art Verrell's Sweet in a variety of dishes, from corn chowders to salsas or even cornbread.
