Sweet corn grown in lawn

My neighbour, who has the run off where I plant a crop of sweet corn every season, has finally decided at 93 that it is time he moved in to a rest home. The house is going on the market. No growing in his garden this year. My existing raised gardens are fully at present. So, I have grown sweet corn seedlings and planted them into the lawn. First I scalped the grass with the lawn mower. I dug a slit into the soil, like planters do when planting pine trees, and placed the SC seedlings into the slit and then closed it back up. The soil is loamy and because it was undisturbed lawn, has good structure. The soil should be fertile and have enough nutrients in it. It may need to be irrigated more regularly than in a garden but I can take care of that. Anyone have any comments or advice? Does your neighbor mind, or are you trespassing? No mention of PERMISSION being given. You sure can perceive the most important aspect of any post, your steel-trap mind gets right to the relevant point every time. As well as the key legal and moral issues of our times do you have any wisdom to share over topics such as soil structure, root competition, interplanting, irrigation, land use or nutrition of annuals and perenials?
