Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring/Summer: Plant Wade's Giant Indian Flint Corn seeds after the last frost, once soil temperatures have reached 60°F (15-18°C) or warmer. This variety thrives in warm conditions, so ensure it is planted during the warmest months of the growing season.
Planting Details
- Depth: Sow the seeds 1.5-2 inches deep in well-drained soil.
- Spacing: Space seeds about 10-12 inches apart in rows, with rows spaced 30-36 inches apart. This spacing allows the plants room to grow tall and produce large ears.
- Light: Wade's Giant Indian Flint Corn needs full sun to thrive, so choose a site that receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Corn does best in loamy soils that are rich in organic matter.
Watering and Care
- Watering: Corn requires consistent moisture to grow strong and healthy. Provide 1-1.5 inches of water per week throughout the growing season, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
- Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer before planting, and apply side-dressing of high-nitrogen fertilizer once the corn reaches 6 inches tall to encourage healthy stalks and kernels.
- Weeding: Regularly remove weeds to prevent competition for nutrients. Mulching around the base of the plants can help control weeds and conserve moisture.
- Supporting Growth: Given the height of this variety, consider providing wind protection or staking if grown in areas with strong winds.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Wade's Giant Indian Flint Corn typically reaches maturity in 90-100 days. The kernels should be fully mature and hard, and the husks will begin to dry out and turn brown.
- How to Harvest: Gently twist the ears off the stalks once they’re ready. Check the kernels for hardness and dryness before harvesting.
- Storage: Dry the corn fully by hanging the ears in a dry, well-ventilated area. Once fully dried, the kernels can be removed from the cob and stored in a cool, dry place for long-term storage.
Uses
- Cornmeal & Flour: Perfect for grinding into cornmeal or flour for baking, cornbread, tortillas, or pancakes.
- Popcorn: The kernels are suitable for popping and make an excellent, flavorful snack.
- Ornamental Uses: The striking colors of the kernels make this corn variety perfect for decorative purposes, such as fall wreaths, crafts, or as part of your autumn garden display.
- Traditional Recipes: It can be used in traditional dishes such as Indian cornbread, grits, or homemade tortillas.
Coverage
- Packet: One packet of Wade's Giant Indian Flint Corn typically covers 25-30 square feet of garden space, depending on row spacing.
