Corn Sweet Delectable
Zea mays var rugosa (hybrid)
Days to maturity: 84
One of nature’s perfect foods! Homegrown sweet corn has amazing sweetness. Enjoy boiled, grilled, or even raw; it's that good! This sugary enhanced (se) hybrid holds its sweet flavor for 3 - 4 days after picking, so there's no need to start your pot of boiling water before harvesting. Each bicolor cob has 18 rows of tightly packed white and yellow tender kernels.
This packet plants three 6 foot rows.
Days to Emerge: 5 - 10
Seed Depth: 1" - 1½"
Seed Spacing: 2 seeds every 12"
Row Spacing: 2' - 3'
Thinning: When 4" tall, thin to 1 every 12"
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after average last frost and when soil temperatures are warm (60 - 65 degrees F).
When to start inside: Not recommended; corn seed does not transplant well.
Special sowing instructions: Easy to grow from seed. Since pollination occurs from wind, corn seed should be sown in short, parallel rows or blocks.
Harvesting: Corn is ready about 3 weeks after the silks appear; harvest when the silks are brown, but not dried, and the husks are dark green; ears should be plump. Pull back the husk and pop a kernel with your thumb; a milky juice squirting out means corn is ready. If juice is watery, corn is still immature.
