Zea mays
(72 days baby, 110 dry) Open-pollinated. For itty bitty baby corns, the kind you find in Chinese cuisine, harvest the fingerlike ears five days after silks appear. Delicious in hors d’oeuvres, stir-fries and pickles. For popcorn, let ears mature to their squatty 4" size. The 5' plant bears 3–6 ears with white kernels. ② ③

Additional Information

Popcorn

Seed counts vary widely among varieties. Market grower Jason Kafka says that popcorn is a wonderful novelty for CSA shares. Americans consume more than 16 billion quarts of it per year. Why not try growing some?

Corn

  • About 85–200 seeds/oz. Seeds per packet vary.
    • Open-pollinated selections average 100 seeds/oz
    • Normal sugary varieties 140 seeds/oz
    • SE cultivars with shrunken seeds 150-160 seeds/oz
  • Days to maturity are from emergence after direct sowing; for transplants, subtract 20 days.

Culture: Untreated sweet corn seed will not germinate in cold wet soil. Please be patient and wait till soil warms to at least 60° before sowing, or start seedlings indoors and transplant at 3–6" before taproots take off. Minimum soil temperature 55°, optimal temperature range 65–85°. Tender, will not survive frost. Heavy nitrogen requirements.
