Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring: Plant seeds after the last frost date when soil temperatures have warmed to about 60°F (15°C).
- Summer: Ensure enough growing season for the plants to reach maturity, typically around 75-90 days.
Planting Details
- Depth: Plant seeds 1-2 inches deep in well-prepared soil.
- Spacing: Space seeds 6-8 inches apart in rows, with 30-36 inches between rows to allow for optimal growth.
- Light: Requires full sun for the best growth and flavor development.
- Soil: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8. Adding organic matter or compost will enhance soil quality.
Watering and Care
- Watering: Keep the soil moist during germination and early growth. Once plants are established, water deeply and consistently, especially during dry periods.
- Fertilizing: Corn thrives on a nutrient-rich diet. Use a balanced fertilizer to encourage robust growth, especially when plants are 6-12 inches tall.
- Weeding: Maintain a weed-free garden to ensure that your corn plants have plenty of room and resources to grow.
- Mulching: Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and prevent weeds.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Montana Cudu Corn is typically ready for harvest in 75-90 days, depending on growing conditions. The kernels should be fully formed and the husk should have dried to a brown color.
- How to Harvest: Pull ears from the stalks when the kernels are plump and firm. Check the kernels for maturity by piercing them with a fingernail—if the juice comes out clear, the corn is not ready. When it is milky, the corn is ripe.
- Storage: If using for decorative purposes, allow the ears to dry fully on the stalk or in a cool, dry area. For culinary use, store in the fridge for fresh consumption, or freeze the kernels for long-term storage.
Perfect For
- Home Gardens: Montana Cudu Corn is a great addition to vegetable gardens, offering a unique variety for home harvesters and gardeners looking to try something different.
- Fall Displays: The colorful kernels make it ideal for use in fall decor and as part of harvest wreaths or other seasonal crafts.
- Fresh Eating and Freezing: This corn is sweet and tender, making it perfect for fresh consumption, or freezing to enjoy throughout the year.
- Heirloom Enthusiasts: Montana Cudu Corn is a heritage variety that maintains a rich, historical lineage and adds variety to any heirloom garden collection.
Coverage
- Packet: One packet of Montana Cudu Corn Seeds will typically cover 15-20 square feet of garden space when spaced properly.
