Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring/Summer: Plant Buhl Sweet Corn after the last frost date when soil temperatures are between 60-85°F (15-29°C). The best planting time is when the soil has warmed sufficiently for optimal germination.
Planting Details
- Depth: Plant the seeds 1-2 inches deep.
- Spacing: Space the seeds 6-8 inches apart in rows, with about 30-36 inches between rows to allow for optimal plant growth.
- Light: Corn needs full sun to thrive, so make sure it receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.
- Soil: Preferably, plant in well-draining, fertile soil with a pH level of 6.0-6.8. Adding compost or organic matter can improve soil fertility.
Watering and Care
- Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged during germination. After the plants are established, provide deep watering to encourage robust root growth, especially during dry spells.
- Fertilizing: Corn is a heavy feeder. Use a balanced fertilizer high in nitrogen to encourage strong, healthy growth, especially when the plants are about 6-8 inches tall.
- Weeding: Keep the area free of weeds, as they can compete with your corn plants for nutrients and water.
- Mulching: Use mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the soil cool.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Buhl Sweet Corn is typically ready for harvest in about 70 days after planting. Look for plump kernels that are milky when pierced with a fingernail.
- How to Harvest: Gently twist the ear off the stalk when the husk is green and the kernels are fully formed. Harvesting in the early morning hours is best to preserve sweetness.
- Storage: For fresh use, store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For long-term storage, you can freeze the kernels after blanching them in boiling water for 3 minutes.
