Hello beautiful people . For today I bring you another great idea for these days that we must stay at home, keeping busy makes our day more relaxing. Corn planting is very simple and rewarding.

Corn is delicious and goes well with many of our culinary recipes, and it tastes better when we grow with our own hands, however, you have to know a few things before you start to grow.
This is a plant that does not like low temperatures, it is advisable to sow in mid or late August, unless you live in a place like ours, where there are not many Cold days, you can sow twice a year, so you have fruits at different times of the year and you can make different dishes according to the occasion.

Something you should know and see is where you are going to sow, the corn needs a fertilized soil, soft, that drains well, (this point is very important) and plenty of sunlight. Choose a clean place, if not, the hoe and rake is ideal for this task.

Once you have matched the line we start by making some holes, leave a separation between them of about 40 centimeters, the holes should not be very deep, and 60 between the lines, this is done to that the wind can pollinate.

The separation between plants is very important, but not as much as the choice of the seed, here lies much of the success, something I recommend that I find very good, is to rest the beans in a Homemade garlic-based preparation, this serves to prevent pests from attacking the seeds.

We choose the best seeds, and for each hole we will put three to four of them, then cover with a thin layer of soil, finish planting by watering. Irrigation is vital for its growth, but be careful, the bases cannot be in the water.

The first plants will start to emerge after ten days, not to worry if it takes a little longer, sometimes it takes about thirty days. From the moment they started to come out, you have to treat the surface of the land, use the hoe to escape and the hands to bring land to their stems, there they can check if the irrigation they are doing is correct.

This is a plant that evolves week by week, and you will notice an important change in them, we must accompany the growth, cleaning, strengthening the stem, laying soil and creating the furrow to maintain moisture .

In twenty days they will be amazed at what has grown, the grass will accompany it, it is the sign that is needed to eliminate them, you can use the hoe, but be careful not to damage the roots, if you check you will see that they have developed a lot on their sides, and they need more land than ever.

Another thing that can happen to you, is to see two or more plants in the same space, this is not to worry, on the contrary, it rendered our seed better, in this case we are going to hope that the plant reaches thirty centimeters and we place it in another space in the garden, it is not recommended before because it is vulnerable Source.

The corn after thirty days will have changed, it is when you must work on the conditioning of its stems and surroundings, and they will be ready to change them in another place, choose the smallest one

The graphic photography that happens if we neglect it, and we do not treat the stems by strengthening them, at this stage the stems are still tender and can break with their own weight, and the result will be the loss of a plant.
