Aproximately three weeks ago we planted three varieties of sweet corn directly into the garden, Early Sunglow (63 days), Bodacious (75 days), and Golden Jubilee (87 days). The Early Sunglow came up fastest and strongest, Bodacious had the lowest germination rate. Each variety was planted in a 12 by 12 foot section with the row seeder. The remaining seeds were broadcast in a tray of soil in the greenhouse. The greenhouse seeds came up the fastest and grew like gangbusters. Today Bob planted the greenhouse starts into the garden to fill out the places where nothing had sprouted. In the meanwhile the seeds planted outside have really outgrown the greenhouse starts. I hope the new kids will survive the transplant.
