Begin by sowing directly outdoors, 1 1/2 inches deep with four inches between seeds and thirty inches between rows. When choosing a site in your garden, keep the sun in mind; these tall stalks have potential to block the sunlight from other plants. While growing, the crops will need one to one and a half inches of water. When the kernels are firm, the ear is ripe. To harvest, firmly pull the ear downwards while twisting. The unhusked ears can be kept in the fridge for up to one week.
Bodacious Hybrid adapts well to northern climates. Matures early. Once silks appear, wait three weeks and then harvest! A period of seven days after maturity is the best time to harvest. Perfect for all culinary applications, including roasting, steaming, boiling, grilling, etc. Retains its sweetness for up to a week and a half after the ears have been picked.
