Corn Seed Planting Information:
Corn likes hot summers. Corn should be planted
in specific patterns and distances, and separated by rows. Plant seeds
directly in the garden. Plant your seeds 2 weeks after last frost date and
when soil has warmed up. Corn needs warm soil to germinate. The seeds may rot
if the soil is too cool. Soil temperature needs to be higher than 60 F. Plant
the seeds in blocks of at least 3 rows in each direction as corn is pollinated
by the wind. Planting in blocks also protects stalks from damage from high
winds. Plants
can grow 3 to 8 ft tall.
Warning: Do not plant in cold wet soil
or you may experience poor germination! |
