I started with two 4" starter plants of 'Super Sweet' Corn by Chef Jeff's. I planted my corn directly into the back row of my garden in full sun. I ended up with only two husks of corn, one on each plant by the end of the summer. My plants grew to 8 and 9 feet tall. (right) My corn on August 21, 2009. Growing Tips: Super Sweet Corn prefers full sun and soil moisture is critical for plants to form tassels, silks and to develop ears. Plant 12" - 15" apart.
Harvesting: Super Sweet Corn matures in 75 days on average. After silk emergence, ears should be ready to harvest about 3 weeks later. Corn can be stored for 7 - 10 days after harvest.
