Corn

Plant two inches deep in plenty of sun after the soil has warmed. It needs rich, moist and well nourished soil. Since corn has shallow roots, pull soil or compost around the stalk as it grows to add nutrients, protect from winds and help hold moisture. A deep mulch is beneficial. Plant on the north side of the garden so it does not shade other crops. Use short rows (at least four together) for best pollination.

Popcorn
Culture of popcorn is about the same as field corn. Plant it after frost danger is past; the first part of May is about right. Put about three or four kernels to the hill and space the hills about 15 inches apart, with the rows 2 to 2 1/2 feet apart, depending on how you will tend it. Five to six pounds will plant an acre.
