The temperatures for optimum germination should be above 18°C. For optimum growth and quality the temperature range is from 24°C to 30°C. The kernels will not set, especially on the tip of the cobs, if conditions are hot or cold or dry and windy at silking. One of the most important crops for growing in the Organic vegetable garden is corn. It absolutely thrives in the heat, but White Sticky Corn also grows all year round but kernels do not set completely.

Another thing it loves is a well prepared rich organic soil. Start by forking over and loosening your soil to around a spades depth.  Then start piling in the good stuff – a good wheel barrow load of compost per square metre, well aged animal manure, cow, chicken, horse, sheep, whatever you can lay your hands on then spread it evenly over the bed.

Next, it’s fertilisers and organic products like blood 'n' bone – throw a good handful around every square metre and to supplement that, a tight fistful of sulphate of potash. Give this all a thorough turning with a garden fork to mix it in. Once that’s done, rake over the bed a few times and it’s ready for planting. The other thing, you should always plant corn in blocks rather than single rows. The cobs are pollinated by wind, so block planting ensures you get a good even distribution of pollen.

Planting is easy. Mark your rows - about 50 cm apart - by pressing the handle of your garden rake into the soil, then use a trowel along the lines to form a groove. Go along the grooves and drop in your seed about 25cm apart, then fill the rows with soil using the back of your rake.

All that’s left to do now is water them in. Corn seed can rot easily, so it’s important not to water them again until they’ve come up, which takes about a week or so. Corn is an easy crop to grow in Organic Gardens.
