Growing Glass Gem Popcorn Garden Seeds

Begin by sowing directly outdoors, one inch deep with six to eight inches between seeds and thirty inches between rows. It is important to grow corn in blocks of multiple rows to enable pollination via wind. When choosing a site in your garden, keep the sun in mind; these tall stalks have the potential to block the sunlight from other plants. While growing, the crops will need one to one and a half inches of water each week. When the kernels are firm, the ear is ripe. To harvest, firmly pull the ear downwards while twisting. The unhusked ears can be kept in the fridge for up to one week.
