- Corn is a warm season tender annual and requires nutrient-rich soil. Plant in well-drained fertile soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Can tolerate clay soils. Fertilize the ground in spring with high-quality compost or organic fertilizer. Direct sow after soil has warmed to 65 degrees F and all danger of frost has passed. Optimal temperature for germination is 85 degrees F. For transplants, start indoors 4 weeks before last frost. Plant in blocks of at least 4 rows for adequate pollination. Feed with an organic fertilizer at 12 or if leaves start yellowing.
- Harvest when ear silks have dried, kernels are filled completely and have reached peak color. Corn is generally ready 18-24 days after the first silk has formed. For best quality, eat right away. Will hold well in the cooler temperatures and high humidity for 1-4 days.
