Growing and Care Instructions
Bodacious Sweet Corn has a process that is essential to its great taste and quality. Here are some simple directions for growing the corn:
- Sunlight Is Key: Corn likes to grow in a sunny spot. The sunlight makes the corn sweet and colorful.
- Planting Time: Plant it after the final frost when the climate is warm. It prevents damage from cold weather and keeps the plants growing strong.
- Soil Preparation: The soil is amended with quality vegetable fertilizer. This extra attention helps the corn plants absorb the nutrients they need to grow strong and flavorful.
- Proper Planting Layout: Seed is planted in a block of at least four rows side by side rather than in one long row. This reduces the risk of pollen from plants that have nothing to pollinate, which is important for a full and even crop. The wind can play a role in effective pollen dispersal.
- Succession Planting: Corn crops, like beans, are planted by seeds every three weeks until early summer to ensure a steady supply throughout the season. This means that new corn is always available.
- Weed Control and Extra Feeding: Regular tillage or mulching helps to control weeds that compete with the corn for nutrients. Once the plants are 12-18 inches (30-46 cm) tall, more fertilizer is used to stimulate growth.
Harvesting for Best Taste
It is very important to get the corn harvested at the right time. Here’s when and how the corn is plucked:
- When to Pick: Corn is harvested when the silks brown and the ears feel firm. This means the kernels are fully developed and ready to be eaten.
- Simple Test: P poking a couple kernels with a thumbnail is a minor test. If the skin feels soft and the juice runs “milky,” the corn is prime.
- Freshness Matters: Corn is best cooked and eaten on the same day and even the same hour that it is harvested. It retains all the natural sweetness and tenderness.
Culinary Uses
Bodacious Sweet Corn is an awesome ingredient to use in a plethora of recipes.
- Fresh on the Cob: The easiest way to eat this corn is to boil or grill it and top it with a bit of butter, salt and the seasonings of choice.
- Freezing for Later: Corn can be frozen shortly after harvest. Freezing preserves the flavor and nutrients for later use in soups, salads, or casseroles.
- Canning: This corn is a perfect fit if people like canning. Its near uniform texture and flavor makes for a very dependable home-canned aid.
