What Month Do You Plant Corn Seeds?

The best time to plant corn seeds depends on your region's climate, but most gardeners should wait until the soil temperature reaches at least 60°F. Typically, late spring to early summer (April to June) is ideal for planting. 

If you plant too early, your seeds may struggle to germinate due to cold soil.

How Many Corn Seeds Do You Plant Per Hole?

For healthy corn growth, plant one to two seeds per hole. Planting two seeds can improve your chances of success, especially if some seeds fail to sprout. Once the seedlings emerge, thin them out to keep the strongest plant in each spot to prevent overcrowding.

This guarantees each plant has access to adequate sunlight, nutrients, and airflow. Proper spacing is also key—space each hole 12 inches apart in rows that are roughly 30 inches apart. This allows room for pollination, which is crucial for forming healthy ears of corn.

If you're looking to optimize the growth process, consider a raised Vego Garden to set your corn crops up for success. 

Should You Soak Corn Seeds Before Planting?

While it's not required, soaking corn seeds for 12-24 hours before planting can speed up germination. This helps soften the seed coat, making it easier for sprouts to emerge.

However, avoid soaking for too long, as this can cause the seeds to rot.

What Should You Add to the Soil When Planting Corn Seeds?

Corn plants are heavy feeders, so enriching your soil is crucial. Before planting, mix in compost and a well-balanced organic fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 or 20-20-20 formula, to provide the essential nutrients corn needs.

The balanced fertilizer helps the plants receive nitrogen for stalk growth, phosphorus for root development, and potassium for overall plant health. To promote early success, you can also add a side dressing of high-nitrogen fertilizer after seedlings emerge.

5 Steps to Plant Your Corn Seeds

Planting corn is a rewarding process that starts with careful preparation. Following the right steps will ensure your garden yields strong, healthy ears of corn.

  1. Prepare the soil: Till your soil to loosen it, ensuring good drainage.

  2. Enrich the soil: Add compost or a balanced fertilizer to provide nutrients.

  3. Plant the seeds: Place seeds 1-2 inches deep and 12 inches apart.

  4. Water regularly: Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging.

  5. Maintain your crop: Weed regularly and consider adding a support system for taller varieties.

Consistent care throughout the growing season will maximize your crop's potential. Growing corn is simple with the right techniques and high-quality seeds.
