Japanese Hulless Corn Seed Planting Guide

Japanese Hullless Corn is a sweet corn variety that is known for its tender kernels and lack of a hull. This makes it easy to eat fresh off the cob or cook without having to remove the hull. Japanese Hullless Corn is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin A, and potassium.

To plant Japanese Hullless Corn seeds, follow these steps:

1. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Japanese Hullless Corn needs full sun to grow its best. The soil should be well-drained to prevent the roots from rotting.
2. Prepare the soil by adding compost or manure. This will help to improve the drainage and fertility of the soil.
3. Sow the seeds directly in the ground in the spring after the last frost. Sow the seeds about 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart.
4. Water the seeds regularly. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy.
5. Fertilize the plants every few weeks with a balanced fertilizer. Japanese Hullless Corn doesn't need a lot of fertilizer, but a light feeding will help it to produce more corn.
6. Harvest the corn when the ears are plump and the kernels are full and milky. You can start harvesting the corn when the ears are about 6 inches long.

Tips for growing Japanese Hullless Corn:

• Japanese Hullless Corn is a heat-loving plant, but it can still be damaged by frost. If you live in a cold climate, you can start your seeds indoors about 6 weeks before the last frost.
• Japanese Hullless Corn needs regular watering, especially during hot weather.
• Japanese Hullless Corn is relatively pest- and disease-resistant. However, you should still inspect your plants regularly for signs of pests or diseases.

Harvesting and storing Japanese Hullless Corn:

• Japanese Hullless Corn is best harvested when the ears are plump and the kernels are full and milky. You can start harvesting the corn when the ears are about 6 inches long.
• Japanese Hullless Corn can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To store, husk the ears and remove the silk. Place the ears in a plastic bag or container and store them in the refrigerator.
