Ready to grow your own delicious corn right in your backyard? 🌽 In this quick video, we take you through the process of planting, growing, and harvesting corn from seed to cob! Whether you’re a beginner or experienced gardener, corn is a rewarding and productive crop to grow.
✅ Planting: Start by sowing corn seeds directly into well-drained, fertile soil with full sun exposure. Corn is wind-pollinated, so plant in blocks (not single rows) for better pollination and full ears.
✅ Growing Tips: Keep the soil consistently moist and fertilize with compost or organic fertilizers as corn is a heavy feeder. Watch for pests like corn earworms and use natural deterrents to keep them away.
✅ Harvesting: Corn is ready to harvest when the silks turn brown and the kernels are plump and milky when pierced. Gently twist the ears downward to harvest without damaging the plant.
✅ Bonus: Corn stalks can also be composted or used as mulch. Grow sweet corn, popcorn, or colorful heirloom varieties and enjoy homegrown flavor!
