Corn Status Update - More and more of the corn sprouts have been peeking up since the weekend. I now have 38 of the 40 seeds spouted which, even if the other two do not pop up, I have spare starts in the green house.
We should be good with a thick crop of 5 x 8 corn stalks in my 4 x 8 corn bed. North to South, the seeds were planted 8 inches apart while East to West, the seeds were planted 10.5 inches apart.
I found one tiny stalk/seed pulled out and laying on top of the soil. I was able to replant it with one of the six starts I have in the green house which just started to pop up this morning.
Weather prediction is that temps are going to drop from the highs of 70s-80sF to the low 60s for the next few days. I have everything in place to cover the crop for those days with a floating row cover in my attempt to keep the soil warmer. I will cover it tonight before the cold night temps set in.
