Baby Sweetcorn - Minigold

20 seeds

Start by planting seeds in a sunny location with well-draining, fertile soil. Space seeds about 10-12 inches apart, and plant them around 1 inch deep. Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Baby sweetcorn prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 60°F and 85°F (15°C - 29°C), so make sure to wait until the danger of frost has passed before planting outdoors. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy growth, and provide additional nitrogen once plants are established for better growth and corn development. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and reduce weed growth. Be mindful of pests like aphids and caterpillars, and remove them manually or use natural pest control methods. Harvest the baby corn when the ears are still small and tender, typically about 60 days after planting.
