Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring/Summer: Plant Country Gentleman Sweet Corn seeds after the last frost has passed, typically when the soil temperature reaches 60°F (15-18°C) or higher. This corn variety thrives in warm temperatures.
Planting Details
- Depth: Plant seeds 1-1.5 inches deep into well-drained, rich soil.
- Spacing: Space seeds about 8-12 inches apart in rows that are 24-36 inches apart.
- Light: Corn requires full sun, so ensure the plants receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
- Soil: Best grown in loamy, well-drained soil with a pH range of 6.0-7.0. Improve soil quality with organic compost for a better yield.
Watering and Care
- Watering: Corn requires regular watering, especially as the ears are forming. Provide at least 1-1.5 inches of water per week, either by rainfall or irrigation.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer before planting. Once the plants are about 6 inches tall, side-dress with a high-nitrogen fertilizer to promote growth.
- Weeding: Weed regularly to keep your corn patch free from competition for nutrients and water. Mulch to help with weed control.
- Staking: Depending on your soil and weather conditions, you may need to support tall varieties with stakes to keep the plants upright.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Country Gentleman Sweet Corn takes about 75-90 days to reach full maturity. Harvest the ears when the kernels are plump and the husks have started to turn slightly brown.
- How to Harvest: Gently twist the ears from the stalk when they’re fully mature. You can test the ripeness by piercing a kernel with your fingernail—if the juice is milky, it’s time to harvest.
- Storage: Sweet corn is best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze or can the corn for future use. To freeze, blanch the ears first before freezing to preserve flavor and texture.
Uses
- Fresh Eating: Perfect for eating fresh off the cob, providing a sweet, tender experience.
- Canning and Freezing: Excellent for preserving. Canning or freezing helps keep the sweet flavor all year round.
- Cooking: Ideal for grilled corn on the cob, corn salads, corn soup, or corn chowder. Its creamy texture makes it versatile in many dishes.
Coverage
- Packet: A packet of Country Gentleman Sweet Corn seeds will cover approximately 25-30 square feet of planting area.
