Growing Information: 

For the best germination rate, soak seeds overnight before sowing. Plant them directly into the soil where they are to grow, in a sunny position. Create a 2cm hole, sow 2-3 seeds per hole, cover with soil and keep moist until germination. When they germinate thin them out to the strongest seedling. So plants can easily pollinate one another, it is best to grow atleast 10 plants, spaced 20-30cm and in multiple rows, rather than one long row. Ensure your soil is fertile with a good moisture holding ability. Simply add some animal manure, compost or fertiliser to improve your soil.

For maize varieties, only harvest the cob once it is fully matured on the plant.
