Best Time to Plant: Plant these seeds in spring, after the last frost, when the soil has warmed. Black Corn thrives in warm conditions and requires full sun. 2. Soil Requirements: Plant in well-drained, fertile soil. Enrich with compost to provide nutrients necessary for growth. 3. Sowing Instructions: Sow seeds approximately 1 inch deep and space them about 6 inches apart. Thin plants to about 12 inches apart as they grow. For optimal pollination, plant in blocks or multiple rows rather than a single row. 4. Watering Needs: Water regularly to keep the soil moist, especially during dry spells. Corn is a heavy feeder and needs consistent moisture to develop well. 5. Light and Temperature: Requires at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Plant in a location that receives full sun to ensure the best growth and kernel development. 6. Care Tips: Fertilize with a high-nitrogen fertilizer once the plants are about 6 inches tall to support healthy stalk development. Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
