Common Questions:
💡 How do I know when corn is ready to harvest?
Look for full, plump ears, and test by pressing a kernel—if milky juice appears, it's ready!
💡 Can I grow corn in containers?
Corn needs deep soil and block planting for pollination, so it’s best grown in garden beds.
💡 How long does fresh corn stay sweet?
For the best flavor, eat within 24 hours of picking! Refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze for long-term storage.
💡 Do I need to hand-pollinate corn?
