Corn likes hot summers. Corn should be planted in specific patterns and distances, and separated by rows. Plant seeds directly in the garden. Plant your seeds 2 weeks after last frost date and when soil has warmed up. Corn needs warm soil to germinate. The seeds may rot if the soil is too cool. Soil temperature needs to be higher than 60 F. Plant the seeds in blocks of at least 3 rows in each direction as corn is pollinated by the wind. Planting in blocks also protects stalks from damage from high winds. Plants can grow 3 to 8 ft tall.
Warning: Do not plant in cold wet soil or you may experience poor germination!
Requires well loose rich soil in a well drained location in the garden. Apply much and grass clippings, or straw around base of plant.
Water during dry and hot spells.
Use RootBlast, Vegetable Alive, and Slow Release Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle Gro. Side dress with 33-0-0 plant food.
Carefully pull back the husk to see if kernels are fully formed. Use a sharp knife to remove corn from stalks.

My family really enjoyed this baby corn. We live in Chicago and the plants grew wonderfully and produced dozens of ears. Great for stir fry, stews, etc.
