Growing Corn From Early Starter Plants...Part 2! In this video, we continue on with growing our corn early so that we can get a head start on spring. Part 2 of the 3-part series focuses on what we do with our corn plants after they have already germinated and are outgrowing their plugs!
Known as a poor transplanter, corn is usually direct seeded, even here in Canada. However, with a finite warm growing period, if you want corn early, you gotta seed corn early. Well, we seeded our corn about 3 weeks ago and it germinated and grew FAST. They are already 8-10 inches tall and it is time to move them on to the net size of pot.
Corn, Once The Garden Darling. One of the most popular crops of past backyard gardens, corn has fallen out of favor recently. Large, cheap to buy at the grocery store, and a bit tricky during pollination time as you need several plants to ensure healthy ears. Despite all that, a HIGHLY rewarding crop to grow in this day, during these times.
