As a result of my voracious appetite for knowledge and love of strange vegetables, I began my gardening journey with 300 seeds of Waxy Corn, also known as Sticky Corn. This variety, known for its sticky kernels and sweet taste, presented an intriguing challenge. Every step of growing this unusual maize, from sowing the seeds to savoring the tasty harvest, is detailed here.
An Investigation on Waxy Corn:
Zones 4–8 of the United States Department of Agriculture's hardiness map precisely encompass my garden. This corn variety stands out from the typical sweet corn because to its sticky, sweet kernels, which also give it its characteristic flavor. Planting: A Journey of Wonder
Location: I chose a sunny place in my yard with loamy soil since it would receive the most sunshine. Till the soil well to make it rich and soft before planting. The recommended planting depth is 1.5 inches, with 4 to 6 inches of space between each seed. The soil was watered regularly to maintain its moisture, which is critical for plant growth. Growth and Maintenance:
Verified that the corn plants were positioned so that they faced straight towards the sun. Keep a careful eye on the soil moisture level, particularly while the flowers are blooming.
