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:
- 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.
- Prepare the soil by adding compost or manure. This will help to improve the drainage and fertility of the soil.
- 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.
- Water the seeds regularly. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy.
- 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.
- 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.
Enjoy your Japanese Hullless Corn!
