Poke seeds in 1 inch deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. Plant in a block of 4 side-by-side rows. each row at least 1 foot apart. Thin seedlings to 1 foot apart when several inches tall. Protect from marauding birds if necessary. If first sowing doesn't germinate evenly. replant right away as new seedlings catch up quickly. Make several sowings 2 or 3 weeks apart until early June to have successive harvests.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGROWING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere is no need to isolate Sugar Pearl from other varieties. but plant seeds in blocks of at least 4 parallel rows to ensure good wind pollination and well filled out ears. Corn is a heavy feeder. so add plenty of compost or aged manure to the soil at sowing time. and then fertilize when young plants are 7 to 8 inches tall and again as ears begin to form.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARVEST AND USE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWell filled out ears of corn are ready to eat when the silks are very dark brown but not dried out. Test by choosing a plump ear and peeling back the husk very slightly. The kernels should be tender and milky when slit with a fingernail. Sugar Pearl is a SE corn. so the tender crisp kernels will hold their sweetness after harvest.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSeeding depth: 1 - 1.25 inches\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGermination days: 6 - 12 days\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaturation days: 73 days                  \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Torchgift","offers":[{"title":"20 Seeds","offer_id":47212955074660,"sku":"COY21011305-白糯玉米20粒","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/6339\/6452\/files\/d05e9a42acba0ebd400d72ef9694f081_055974e6-4a5f-48ce-b1af-f665008975e0.jpg?v=1761839689","url":"https:\/\/henrygarden.co\/products\/sweet-corn-freedom-mxr-f1","provider":"HenryGarden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
