Growing Instructions:
Begin by sowing directly outdoors, 1.5 inches deep with 4 inches between seeds and 30 inches between rows. When choosing a site in your garden, keep the sun in mind; these tall stalks have potential to block the sunlight from other plants. While growing, the crops will need 1 to 1.5 inches of water. When the kernels are firm, the ear is ripe. To harvest, firmly pull the ear downwards while twisting. The unhusked ears can be kept in the fridge for up to one week.
