When planting in rows, space seeds 10-15 cm apart, later thinning to 20-30 cm apart. Rows should be spaced 55-75 cm apart. Alternatively, corn can be planted with 3 to 4 seeds per hill, with hills spaced 30 cm apart. Germination occurs in approximately 10 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCare:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWork a good general vegetable fertilizer into the soil at planting, keep weeds under control, and ensure the soil is evenly watered throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eIsolation Requirements\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maintain the optimal sweetness and quality of Espresso, it is essential to isolate it from other sweet corn varieties. Supersweet (sh2) and Augmented (shA) sweet corn varieties must be isolated from Sugary (su), Sugar-Enhanced (se), and Synergistic (syn) types. If not isolated, kernels of both varieties will be starchy instead of sweet. Isolation can be achieved by planting 76 metres away or by ensuring a 14-day difference in tasseling dates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy Espresso Triple Sweet Corn Seeds belong in Your Garden\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEspresso is everything a gardener is looking for in a premium corn variety.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-27 citation-end-27\"\u003eIts excellent early season vigour makes it a great choice for cooler climates, and its potential to produce two cobs per stalk promises a high-yielding harvest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe combination of superb taste and high quality makes this a rewarding addition to any garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ONTARIO SEED CO LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43287980507272,"sku":"102436","price":3.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0360\/4348\/9416\/files\/IMG-1188.jpg?v=1772597763","url":"https:\/\/sunsetnursery.ca\/products\/sweet-corn-seeds-14","provider":"Sunset Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
