Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring/Summer: Plant True Gold Corn seeds after the last frost in your area and when the soil temperature reaches at least 60°F (15°C).
Planting Details
- Depth: Plant seeds about 1-2 inches deep into prepared soil.
- Spacing: Space seeds 8-12 inches apart within rows that are 30-36 inches apart to allow adequate room for growth.
- Light: True Gold Corn needs full sunlight, ideally 6-8 hours per day.
- Soil: Corn thrives in well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (ideally between 6.0-7.0).
Watering and Care
- Watering: Corn requires consistent moisture. Keep the soil evenly moist, particularly during flowering and the formation of the ears. Deep watering is best.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth, and use a high-nitrogen fertilizer during the early stages of growth.
- Weeding: Keep the area free from weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and water.
- Mulching: Mulch around plants to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: True Gold Corn is ready to harvest in about 80-90 days after planting, once the kernels are firm, plump, and have turned a golden yellow.
- How to Harvest: Twist or pull the ears from the stalk once they are mature. The husks should be dry and the kernels should feel firm when squeezed.
- Storage: Store harvested ears in a cool, dry place for continued drying or remove the kernels for storage in airtight containers.
