About Popcorn

1. By: Mahdi Mourad

2. 
 Plant the corn in holes 1 ½ inches deep and 6 inches
apart.
 They need sun and water to grow and will sprout in
about 10 days.
 Once the stalk is about 2m tall you will see husks of
corn cobs developing, that means they are nearly
ready to harvest.
How to Plant

3. 
The popcorn is mature when it is brown and dry. It is
hard and has a “ black layer ”which is easily seen by
scratching the tip of the kernel.
The corn cob is cut and stored for about 8-12 months.
Harvesting
