Planting and Growing Instructions

Corn Heirloom Seeds are easy to grow and produce a high yield when provided with the proper care. Here’s how to successfully plant and grow these beautiful, practical crops:

1. Soil Preparation
   Corn grows best in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Mix in organic compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility and soil structure. Corn prefers a slightly acidic to neutral soil pH (6.0-7.0).

2. Planting
   Plant Corn Heirloom Seeds after the last frost date when the soil temperature reaches 60°F (15°C) or higher. Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and space them 12 inches apart in rows that are about 30 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and growth.

3. Watering
   Water the plants regularly, ensuring that the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. Corn requires consistent moisture, especially during the tasseling and ear-forming stages. Water at the base to avoid wetting the foliage and to prevent disease.

4. Fertilizing
   Corn is a heavy feeder, so ensure the soil is well-fertilized before planting. Use a balanced, organic fertilizer or apply compost to enrich the soil and provide nutrients during the growing season.

5. Care and Maintenance
   Keep the area around the plants weed-free and make sure the corn stalks are properly spaced for good air circulation. Stake or support the plants if needed, especially if you have heavy winds.

6. Harvesting
   Corn is typically ready to harvest 75-100 days after planting. The kernels should be plump and fully formed. Harvest the corn when the husks are green and the kernels release a milky liquid when pierced with a fingernail. If you're using the corn for decoration, allow it to fully mature and dry on the stalks before harvesting.
