Growing Tips for QuadSweets™ Corn
- Planting: Direct sow seeds in warm soil after the last frost date, as corn is sensitive to cold temperatures. Ensure the planting site receives full sun and has well-drained, nutrient-rich soil.
- Isolation: To maintain the purity and optimal sweetness of QuadSweets™ varieties, isolate them from other supersweet corn types. This can be achieved by spacing different varieties at least 660 feet apart or by staggering planting times by 2 to 3 weeks.
- Companion Planting: Consider implementing the traditional Three Sisters planting method by growing corn alongside beans and squash. This symbiotic arrangement allows beans to climb the corn stalks, while squash vines provide ground cover, aiding in moisture retention and weed suppression.
- Maintenance: Regular watering is crucial, especially during tasseling and ear development. Mulching can help retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weeds.
Harvesting and Enjoyment
QuadSweets™ corn reaches maturity approximately 76 days after planting. Harvest when the silks turn brown, and the kernels release a milky substance when pressed. Enjoy the corn fresh, grilled, or preserved by freezing to savor its exceptional flavor beyond the growing season.
FAQs
Why do corn varieties need to be isolated?
If different corn varieties cross pollinate with QuadSweets™ Corn, the heirloom flavor and long-lasting sweet taste can be affected.
Should I fertilize QuadSweets™ Corn?
Corn is a heavy feeder meaning it needs lots of nutrients to produce a large yield. Use a general-purpose fertilizer (10-10-10) before sowing seeds and a nitrogen fertilizer when plants are about 12-inches tall. Side dress the plants with fertilizer periodically throughout the season.
How will I know if the plants are getting enough fertilizer/nutrients?
Look for signs of nutrient deficiency. Purple-tinged leaves are a sign of phosphorus deficiency. Pale green leaves are a sign of nitrogen deficiency.
