It’s so easy to grow, and in case you were wondering, it’s another instance in which you’ll find that home-grown tastes better than anything you can get in stores. Growing your own popcorn is easy! You probably won’t have luck with the seeds you buy for popping, but these ones are sure to succeed.

How to Sow
Although you can skip this step, your seeds will come up much faster if you soak them overnight before sowing. Plant them directly in the place they’re to grow, spacing them 20 cm apart.
How to Harvest
When the silky ends of the ears have turned dark-brown and dry, check how your kernels are developing. Cut the corn or pull downwards, twist and pull towards you. Dry your popcorn ears in a well ventilated, dry place.
