These high-quality hybrid seeds produce sweet, tender corn that is perfect for fresh eating, grilling, or cooking. Sweet corn is a favorite among gardeners for its delicious flavor and versatility in culinary use. Follow these tips for a successful and productive harvest:

Sowing Tips:

• Timing: Sow seeds directly in the garden in late spring after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 16°C.
• Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil; sweet corn thrives in temperatures between 20°C to 30°C.
• Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by adding organic compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility and drainage.

Planting Tips:

• Depth: Plant seeds about 1 inch deep in rows.
• Spacing: Space seeds 10-12 inches apart in rows that are 30-36 inches apart to ensure adequate air circulation and growth.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods.

Care and Maintenance:

• Mulching: Apply mulch around the plants to retain moisture, control weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced organic or inorganic fertilizer at planting time and again when the plants are about 12 inches tall to support healthy growth and development.
• Thinning: Thin seedlings to one plant every 10-12 inches once they are a few inches tall to promote robust growth.

Pest Control:

• Monitoring: Check for common pests such as corn borers, aphids, and cutworms. Use organic pest control methods like neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
• Protection: Protect young plants from birds and rodents with netting or other barriers.

Harvesting:

• Timing: Harvest sweet corn when the kernels are full and milky, usually about 20 days after the silks first appear.
• Method: Check for readiness by peeling back a small section of the husk and pressing a kernel with your fingernail. If a milky liquid emerges, the corn is ready to harvest.
• Storage: Store harvested corn in the refrigerator to maintain its sweetness and freshness.
