Yes but it's easier if you sow the seeds in small plastic pots as there should be no root disturbance and they tap out of those just perfectly. Works every year a ok

How about presprouting the corn and carefully sowing it after some has started germinating? That way you should be able to plant when the ground is still too cold. Should be able to get an extra 2 weeks if it works. Best regards, Bob -- Have a Windows® computer that is powered on for hours at a time?

I started some corn in the garden and the birds are having a great snack. I have sweet ruby corn which is about $6 a small packet and I would like to make sure the corn grows -- not as a bird snack. ;-) /z. |

The one time I transplanted corn, the birds had an easy time pulling out the peat pellets and making a real mess of everything. (I have put covers over any sunflowers I plant, too, as the birds will snap them up as they start to emerge. The worst offenders are cardinals.) -- Pat in Plymouth MI Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced. (attributed to Don Marti) |

[....] I don't cook it in water. Why lose all those nutrients? Some people cook over a steamer for that reason. I just pull back the husk, remove the silk, fold back husk, and nuke it briefly. Delicious! Can be eaten w/o butter, salt, anything. -- Polar Why even nuke it? Just eat it! Almost none from my 8-12 plants makes it out of the garden. I transplant into the clay soil with manure and naturalized peas. White early sweet already in and inches tall.
