Get delicious healthy popcorn fresh from your garden. Some varieties can even be used for colorful decorations. Sow popcorn around the middle of May when soil temperatures warm to at least 60°F. Sow about 1/2 inch deep in hills of 3-4 seeds. Even at optimal soil temperatures, popcorn can be slow to germinate, so be patient. Harvest when the kernels on the ears feel hard and dry. They should look glossy, and the stalks and leaves will have dried completely. Let ears dry in a well-ventilated place for several weeks. Next, remove the husks, then strip individual kernels off the ears by rubbing them together. Once the kernels are free and have dried out a bit longer, pop and enjoy. Test popping reveals the proper moisture level of the popcorn. After popping a few kernels, if the popcorn is chewy, it means the kernels are still too wet and need more drying. If the corn pops poorly, it usually means the kernels are too dry, so moisture should be added. 1 Tbs. of water added to 1 qt. of popcorn, wait a few days, and this usually does the trick.
