Pencil Cob Corn, an intriguing heirloom variety, stands out with its slender cobs resembling pencils. This unique corn cultivar is known for its petite size and tender, sweet kernels and offers a delightful twist to traditional corn-growing experiences. The compact size of Pencil Cob Corn makes it suitable for smaller garden spaces.

 Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil and a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. Plant seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, placing them about 1-2 inches deep and spacing them 6-8 inches apart, in rows spaced 24-36 inches apart.

Consistent soil moisture is crucial for optimal growth. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, and mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Pencil Cob Corn typically matures in around 65-75 days. Keep an eye on the slender cobs; when the silks turn brown, it's time for harvest. For peak sweetness, harvest and enjoy the corn as soon as possible.
