@jerrasgarden: Corn is wind pollinated and requires a nice thick block of a few rows to cross pollinate properly. Each silk attaches to a spot on the cob where a kernel will form. If that individual silk doesn't get pollinated, then the kernel will not form, causing cobs to have some empty spots. Getting great corn germination is essential to ensure a thick block. I get spotty germination when I direct sow seeds because the soil is either too cold, too wet, or critters dig out the seeds. Therefore, I started sowing 1 corn seed per 72 cell seed tray to make my own transplants. I get near 100% germination with this method. In 3 weeks time they are ready to be transplanted. This method works great for small backyard gardeners. Obviously if your growing fields of corn, this method would not be efficient.  Find seeds for corn on my website. #organicgardening #growvegetables #beginnergardening #gardeningtips #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #gardeningforbeginners #gardeninglove #gardenlife #veggiegarden #gardening101 #vegetablegarden #garden #urbanfarm #smallgarden #floridagarden #orlandogarden #zone9 #zone9b #gardenhacks #gardentips #homestead #corn #sowingseeds

How far apart do you suggest to plant the transplants? We direct sewed corn last year and had a lot of un-pollinated cobs 😭

How far apart do you plant? Package says 12-18inches. Kind of seems far?

Do you need to germinate seeds before planting them and garden beds?

I just planted my seeds today, thank you. Once the seedlings are big enough I’m going to put them in buckets, I’ve seen allot of people doing that.
