Green Thumb
Cultural practices : sow from mid-May to mid-June. Planting may be earlier in light, warm, rocky soils, and should be done later in moist, cold soils like clay.
Soil : corn requires full sun and cool, fertile, light and humus-bearing soil.
Spacing : in pockets of three to four seeds 25 cm apart, in rows 70 cm apart, at a depth of 1 cm to 3 cm depending on the size of the seed.
Growing tips : in order to have beautiful ears of corn, it is better to make 6 small rows than one large row.
Harvest : The ears are located in the axils of the leaves, along the stem, and are protected by several layers of leaves that have developed around. Grasp the cobs with one hand and twist downwards so that the cob and its husk separate from the stem. Take an ear from time to time to observe the evolution of the grains. Harvesting can begin when the grains are large, still flexible and release a milky liquid when pierced with the fingernail.
