Sweet Corn 
is most delicious when served right after picking 
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 served 
immediately.
