Plant in blocks, 4-5 rows, 24-36” apart to aid with pollination. Corn is pollinated by wind therefore planting in blocks ensures proper pollination rather than one long single row where the pollen can easily blow away resulting in small, poorly filled out ears.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow much does a packet plant:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 30-40\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efoot single row, block of 5 rows at 8 foot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Ready for picking 2 1\/2 - 3 weeks after silks appear.

Add manure (in the fall) or rich compost a few weeks before planting. Add a high-nitrogen organic fertilizer every few weeks until tassels form. Keep well weeded, especially when they are seedlings and well watered, 1 inch a week especially during the silk stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pinetree Garden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":5280593028,"sku":"00115","price":3.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6282\/files\/honey-cream-corn-f1-hybrid-77-days-su-vegetables-pinetree-garden-seeds-487.jpg?v=1702409636","url":"https:\/\/www.superseeds.mom\/products\/honey-cream-corn-f1-hybrid-77-days","provider":"Pinetree Garden Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
