Planting Maize (Corn): Space maize seeds about 9 to 12 inches apart in rows . Sow the seeds in the ground 1 to 2 inches deep . After planting, give them plenty of water . Maintain a wet but not soggy soil . Regularly water them, especially during dry seasons . Get rid of any weeds that sprout around your crops . Cauliflower should be harvested when the heads are white and firm . When the kernels of maize are full and milky , they are ready for harvest .

I keep plant care as !

I provide the proper amount of water for our plants . If the soil seems dry to the touch , it is time to water . Find out what your plant prefers to drink as every plant has a varied water requirement . Sunlight is nessesery . The majority of plants adore the sun . We place them in a location with adequate light . Select the appropriate location if you can withstand shade .

Fertilizer the plants properly . Plants require nutrition as well . To aid in their growth , use fertilizer or plant food . Observe the directions on the packaging . Pruning the plants from weeds and remove any dead or discolored leaves . This maintains the health of your plant .

Beware of insects pest the plant . Remove them gently if you see them . Lastly, show your plants some love and care. Interact with them and relish seeing them develop . I'm done now ! Plants will thrive if you keep things straightforward .

Maize : Corn is ready when you can squeeze the kernels and they feel squishy and milky . Pull the ear from the plant by gently twisting it . Wait a little longer if the kernels don't have a milky color .

You may cook and eat your fresh cauliflower and corn after harvesting . It serves as a tasty incentive to take good care of your plants .
