Hi everyone, I've been reading and learning, BIG THANKS
I planted 4 rows of corn, and had some germination or seed problems.
Now I'm reduced to 3 rows of 20" apart, and plants about 10" apart.
3 rows is not recomended, it should be 4.
1) I was wondering is there any way I can help with the pollinating, or should I transplant a 4th row to ensure good pollination.
My plants are about 6-8"s high. or
2)Should I just pray for the best, I'm sure I will get some, and wait on the second crop that is now 5 rows since I lost the 4th row of the first batch.
I'm still enjoying this new hobby of mine, and thinking of doing a cold frame next year.
Also do you all know of a good place to get my seeds for next year?

I've grown two rows of corn with no trouble...don't worry about the 4th row.

I get my seeds at Wal-Mart...

I did too at walmart. I think I was the issue on the seeds not germinating. The soil was pretty darn cold.
Thanks again Tamara
