- Sowing. The seeds should be kept at 35 ° C for a week to warm them up. It is not necessary to germinate them. Make holes 5 cm deep at a distance of 35 cm from each other, water before placing the seeds.
- Growing seedlings. If you want to get ripe corn early, you can sow it in peat pots in April. Take seedlings outside regularly to harden them, and plant them in the garden 20 days after sowing.
