What better birthday gift than a patch of sweet corn a toddler can watch grow? Choose a sunny, square plot—square blocks ensure better wind pollination than long rows. For unbeatable flavor, plant a "sugar-enhanced" variety like 'Kandy Korn', 'Sugar and Spice', or 'Sugar 'n' Gold'.
Sow seeds 1 inch deep and 8 inches apart. Here's the pro trick: don't plant the whole block at once. Divide the area into thirds and stagger planting—late April, mid-May, and late May. This succession planting stretches the harvest window, giving your grandson weeks of fresh ears to pick and enjoy.
