Re: Sweet Corn
That's not too small. You should get good pollination. Not too late yet, but close. Get it in the ground now.

Re: Sweet Corn
Not too late. Depends on the variety, and number of days to maturity. I plant succession plantings, from the day I can plant the first seeds, to mid July, about every 2 weeks, for steady corn, all summer.

Re: Sweet Corn
Thanks ! going to seed this weekend , have not bought seed yet so not sure on the variaty but Sweet corn is my favorite. I like the idea of "succession plantings" so with that the center that I get the seed from sometimes has corn growing in flats about a foot tall if they have them I'll get enough for a row.
