Method
 

Growing Corn
  1. Prepare your garden bed with ample sunlight and well-drained soil, enriched with compost, then plant corn seeds according to package directions, ensuring proper spacing.
  2. Water regularly, especially during dry spells and when tassels appear, and fertilize as needed for healthy growth and optimal yield.
  3. Harvest corn when kernels are plump and milky, typically 2-3 weeks after silks appear, by twisting the ear downward from the stalk.
Grilling Corn
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
  2. Remove the husks and silk from the corn, then lightly brush each ear with melted butter and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the seasoned corn directly on the grill grates, rotating every few minutes for even cooking, about 10-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
  4. Serve immediately while hot, optionally with extra butter, herbs, or spices.

Notes

For an extra touch, try adding a squeeze of lime juice or a sprinkle of chili powder after grilling. Enjoy the freshest corn on the cob directly from your garden!
