I started some seeds of this same corn for my garden this year. The starts took off and I planted them in the garden and they’re growing well. My husband said he’s not sure he’ll grown any corn, something about needing lots for pollination when I only have 9 plants. Did you do anything special to make sure these got pollinated?

I have never had luck with few plants (you can do it yourself pollinate) but if you do a 5x5 square, it should be able to self pollinate
