If they are not hybrid them plant them after the last expected freeze in the spring in full sun light and with two small fish.

Sweet corn must be grown in full sun, where shelter from strong winds is provided. It is not too particular about the soil, although it hates clay. Because sweet corn sends down deep roots, it prefers a deeply dug bed.
Sweet corn pollinates best when sown in a block, so for planting, a minimum area of 1.2m (4 foot) square is required.

Ok, here's what you do. Get a small starter pot. Fill it with the soil from where you will plant it. Then, add some sand and mix with the soil. Plant your kernals 1-2 deep, enjoy the harvest.

The kernels will probably be somewhat dry from last season, so it's best to soak them in water overnight before putting them in the ground. Corn like high levels of nitrogen, so make sure your soil is up to par. Water daily until the corn sprouts. Make sure you plant them when the soil is warm.

shell them from the cobb and plant as usual
however! its best to buy new seed, most garden corn is hybrid and will not be the same type and quality that you grew last year!
