Organic Bloody Butcher Corn Seeds

Pick a sunny area and fertilize soil a few weeks before planting with manure or rich compost. Seed can be sown after the danger of frost and soil temperature is above 65. In zones 9 &10 this is usually mid May. Plant seeds approximately 1 inch deep and 3 to 6 inches apart.

Corn plants require full sun and adequate moisture. Fertilize with an organic liquid once seeds have germinated. To promote healthy pollination be sure and plant in a block formation of at least 10 to 12 plants.

Sweet corn is harvested when the ears are full and firm and the silks are dry and limp. Mill corn is left to mature on the cob. The silks will dry out and corn is stored until needed.
