An ancient, wild grass, corn performs best when sown directly outdoors after the final spring frost when soil temperature is approaching 65o F. Plant 2-3 seeds 1-2 inches deep and 3-4 inches apart in loose, organically rich, well-drained soil. Thin to 1 plant every 12-18 inches once true leaves establish. Water soil regularly and directly. Avoid overhead watering which can damage the stalks. Harvest ripe ears by pulling firmly downwards and off the stalk while twisting.

Keep the sun in mind when choosing a site for your corn crop! Corn stalks grow 6-8 feet and can block sun from, or provide shade for , neighboring plants. 

For best results harvest corn when ears turn dark green, silks go brown, & kernels plump with milk-like juice.

Companion Planting: Grow corn next to beans. Corn stalks will act as a trellis for your beans to grow up.
