How to plant Honey King F1 Sweet Corn Seeds

  • Plant the corn seeds about 1 inch deep and 3 to 4 inches apart in the row. Space the rows 2½ to 3 feet apart. After the plants are up, thin them to 1 foot apart.
  • Sweet corn is a warm-season crop and must be planted after the soil warms and there is no more danger of harsh weather.
  • If you have room, plant again when the first corn plants have three to five leaves. This usually takes 2 to 3 weeks.
  • You will need 1 to 2 ounces of seed for every 100 feet of row.
  • Do not use seed saved from last year’s sweet corn as these seeds will not grow a good crop.
  • Sweet corn grows best when planted in several short rows instead of one long row. This makes it easier for the corn plants to pollinate, and good pollination is necessary for ears of corn to have plump, juicy kernels.
  • Plant the corn seeds about 1 inch deep and 3 to 4 inches apart in the row. Space the rows 2½ to 3 feet apart. After the plants are up, thin them to 1 foot apart. If you plant them closer, your corn will have small, poorly filled ears

  • When the plants are about 2 feet tall, apply 1 cup of fertilizer for every 10 feet of garden row. Scatter the fertilizer evenly between the rows and mix it lightly with the soil. Water after fertilizing
  • Water sweet corn frequently to keep it from wilting and do not let corn suffer from lack of water when the kernels are forming.

Soil preparation

  • Remove weeds, rocks and trash, and work the top 8 to 10 inches of soil before planting. Work the soil only when it is dry enough not to stick to garden tools.
  • Hoe or till the soil just under the surface, Hoe the weeds off just below the soil’s surface.
  • Do not hoe deep because deep hoeing will cut the corn roots, which are close to the top of the soil.
