CABBAGE & CORN Sweet
CABBAGE CULTURE Does well in cool weather. For an early
harvest, start indoors 8 weeks before the last hard frost. Plant in flats ¼” deep. Allow 10 days to germinate. When plants are 1½”, transplant to Jiffy Pots. After the last hard frost, transplant into the garden, spacing plants 2’ apart in rows 2-3’ apart. For a late harvest, sow directly into the garden. One packet contains approxi- mately 125 seeds unless otherwise stated.

Plant corn in rows - at least 4 rows side by side for each variety to get full pollination. Plant rows 2½ to 3’ apart, spacing the seeds 4-6” apart; thin early varieties to 10-12” apart; later varieties 15- 18” apart. Our seed is untreated, so be sure the soil has warmed up before planting to ensure good germination. Get a quicker start by boosting the moisture content of the seeds just before they are planted. Soak seeds in distilled water at 77°F for 16 hours, then dry at room temperature for 8 hours before planting. This results in earlier and better uniformity of emergence. A packet contains 1 oz. and plants approximately 30’ of row; ½ pound plants about 200’.
