Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring/Summer: Plant Martian Jewels Corn seeds after the last frost and when soil temperatures have warmed to 60°F (15°C) or higher.
Planting Details
- Depth: Sow seeds 1-2 inches deep in well-prepared soil.
- Spacing: Space the seeds 8-12 inches apart in rows that are 24-36 inches apart to ensure enough space for growth and air circulation.
- Light: Corn needs full sunlight—plant it in a spot that receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Soil: Martian Jewels Corn thrives in well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 6.0-7.0).
Watering and Care
- Watering: Water the plants consistently, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Corn prefers deep, regular watering, particularly during dry spells.
- Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer with higher nitrogen content to support healthy growth, especially in the early stages.
- Weeding: Keep the planting area free from weeds that may compete for nutrients and water.
- Mulching: Applying mulch helps to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and reduce weed growth.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Harvest the ears of corn when the kernels are fully mature, and the husks have dried out. Typically, this will be around 100-120 days after planting.
- How to Harvest: Gently twist or pull the ears from the stalk once the husks are dry and the kernels are hard to the touch.
- Storage: After harvesting, store the ears in a cool, dry place to continue drying. You can leave them in husk form or remove the kernels for storage or use in baking, grinding, or crafting.
