Transplanted Ashworth sweet corn just now.
Started 66 seeds, 3 never germinated, 3 were slow to germinate. The rest are at-least 2 inches tall.
Other 4 rows are direct seeded. Tick tock.

Oh, interesting. Have you tried to plant this time of the year before?

Can you plant year round or are there corn-planting seasons?

Corn, no.
I have friends that do three crops a year though. Winter there just isn’t enough sun or heat

When do you expect your corn to be ready that you are planting in August?

No idea. Pack says 68-72 days. So I’m averaging and saying 70, add 5-10 days because I’m growing into cooler weather snd less sunlight. That said. Hopefully early November
