Does anyone know if I can transplant corn if I start the seeds in one of those
jiffy pots?

You're not supposed to, but living in the far north, I'm always
looking for ways to lengthen the growing season, and 4 years out of 5
it has worked for me. I use (recycled) plastic 6 packs with cells
abt. 2.5 inches deep, ordinary garden soil, and start the corn seeds
in my greenhouse 4 weeks before the frost-free date. Using this
technique I get ripe corn 2 weeks earlier.
