Baby corn, Babby Makka Hybrid Seeds
Baby corn Sweet corn is an annual with yellow, white, and bi-colored ears. A long, frost-free growing season is necessary after planting. Sweet corn is wind-pollinated, so it should be planted in blocks, rather than in single rows. Early, mid, and late-season varieties extend the harvest. If you miss the optimal harvest time, corn will go downhill fast as sugars convert to starch.

Baby corn Planting & Care
Corn is picky about its soil. Work in aged manure or compost the fall before planting and let over winter in the soil.
· Starting seeds indoors is not recommended.
· Plant seeds outdoors two weeks after the last spring frost date.
· Make sure soil temperature is above 60 degrees for successful germination. (Up to 65 for super sweet varieties.) In colder zones, the ground can be warmed by a black plastic cover if necessary. Plant seeds through holes.
· Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. Rows 30 to 36 inches apart.
· For sufficient pollination, plan your plot right. Don’t plant two long rows, rather, plant corn blocks of at least four rows.
· You may choose to fertilize at planting time, corn is meant to grow rapidly. If you are confident that the soil is adequate, this can be skipped.
· Water well at planting time
· CARE
· When your plants are 3 to 4 inches tall, thin them so they are 8 to 12 inches apart.
· Be careful not to damage the roots when weeding.
· Soil must be well drained and able to keep consistent moisture.
· In dry conditions, be sure to keep corn well watered due to its shallow roots. Water at a rate of 5 gallons per sq yard. Mulch helps reduce evaporation.
