Sweet Corn F1 Hybrid Care
Corn is picky about its soil
Work in aged manure or compost the fall before planting and let overwinter in the soil
Starting seeds indoors is not recommended
Plant seeds outdoors two weeks after the last spring frost date
Make sure soil temperature is above 60 degrees for successful germination
(Up to 65 for super sweet varieties
) In colder zones, the ground can be warmed by a black plastic cover if necessary
Plant seeds through holes
Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 4 to 6 inches apart
Rows 30 to 36 inches apart
For sufficient pollination, plan your plot right
Don't plant two long rows, rather, plant corn blocks of at least four rows
You may choose to fertilize at planting time, corn is meant to grow rapidly
If you are confident that the soil is adequate, this can be skipped
