Corn is easy to plant. Once an old woman taught me how to plant it and I really get big maize that I had not dreamed of.
Corn
doesn’t need much attention. However, you must provide them with plenty of
water. The old woman gave me some seeds of corns from her plantation in the
jungle. She told me I just need to plant them. I had a terrible planting
experience with many other seeds. But she assured me that I can do it. She
showed me her corn plantation that was only one week old. It was really
encouraging as the plants were at knees high and their green long leaves were
appealing. 
She told
me to plant them in the sun, as corn loved sun. She then taught me to make a
hole on the wet ground. Then broke down the charcoal until it was powdery and
mixed with the soil in the hole. Next, grabbed half hand full of corn seeds and
put them into the hole. Then covered them neatly and waited patiently. The
purpose of mixing it with charcoal was to avoid the insect especially ants to eat
your corn seeds. The charcoal could also balance the pH of your soil and made
it suitable to planting corns. She recommended me to soil my seeds by evening. 
Another secret she taught me was to place some grass leaves on top of your soil where you’d just planted your corn seeds. This was to avoid the birds or dogs from digging away your corn seeds. Clever huh!
So now I just need to water them every morning and evening with plenty of water. Within just two days, you can see them sprouting with tiny green leaves. You will feel delighted like me as this is really easy. About a week time, they will grow up right to your knee high. Now you can put on some fertilizer if you want your corns to be big ones. If you are fine with the medium ones, you just have to water them daily without any fertilizer. Soon after a month the medium ones will start to have tassels, whereas the big corns will take about two months to have tassels.
Check your stalks when the silks are brown and damp by poking a fingernail
into a kernel. When it's ready, the liquid that squirts out is milky. This
stage occurs about 18 to 24 days after the appearance of the first silk
strands. Signs that indicate the corn is ready for harvest are: drying and
browning of the silks, fullness of the tip kernels, and firmness of the
un-husked ears.To harvest your corn, snap off the ears by hand with a quick but firm downward push, twist and pull. If you plant it today, you will feel the joy of it too. Do try it now.
