A nice addition to any vegetable garden, Kandy Korn grows on a thinner stalk than many varieties and fits well with smaller garden plots. The golden kernels of this variety are tender and sweet. Kandy Korn sweet corn holds up in storage better than many sweet corn varieties. Ears can be harvested around 80 days after planting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCulture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCorn performs best in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0-7.0\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCorn is a heavy feeder requiring high amounts of nitrogen during the vegetative stage\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWaiting for soil to reach optimum temperature is critical to successful corn growing\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCorn is wind pollinated - for proper pollination plant individual varieties in blocks of at least 4 rows.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSeparate varieties by time (plant 10 days apart), or distance (200 feet) to reduce cross-pollination.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor optimum growth ensure beds are watered evenly and deeply.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDirect Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMake row furrows about 6-8 inches deep\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpread 3-5 pounds of TSC's Complete fertilizer per 100 square feet\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBack fill the furrow, then sow seeds and cover with soil or sifted compost\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThin seedlings when 4-5 inches\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTransplanting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStart indoors 2-3 weeks before desired transplant date\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAvoid letting starts get root bound and avoid damaging roots when planting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInsects \u0026amp;

For starters, the kernel walls are the most tender of all corn varieties. Added to that are more sugars, making every ear as sweet as can be. After harvest, the conversion from sugar to starch in SE\/se corn is delayed, so the corn maintains its sweetness longer after picking. To top it off, no isolation is required from other normal types of sweet corn, making SE\/se corn very popular. For best germination, soil temperature should be at least 70°F.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHybrid sh2 Supersweet Corn:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe shrunken gene (sh2) gives the dried kernels an extra-wrinkled appearance. This inherited characteristic increases the sweetness of the corn at harvest time. Commonly called Supersweet, sh2 varieties are some of the sweetest corn available. They do not germinate well in cold wet soil, so make sure your soil is at least 70°F; use a soil thermometer if uncertain. To grow great Supersweet corn, isolate it by time or distance from any other corn.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOP Sweet Corn:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFor best seed saving results we recommend bagging plants to avoid cross pollination.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOrnamental Corn:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOften used for decorating, but it also makes great cornmeal and corn flour.
