SWEET CORN 
Plant from February 15 to August 1. However, if the soil 
is cold and wet it is best to wait until the soil is warm. 
Plant in hills 18 inches apart and the rows 3 feet apart, 
dropping 5 to 7 seeds to each hill and thin out to two of 
the healthiest plants when about 5 inches high. Remove 
all side shoots or “suckers” from the plant, leaving only 
the two top ones as these will produce the largest and 
best ears. Corn is at its best when picked and eaten 
within an hour, but it is extremely important that it be 
picked just at the right time.
