Corn planting

You start with sprouted seed. I started this Sunday evening. Since I do not use paper towels at the house, I just used some drive-thru napkins I'd saved some time ago.
Then water down your planting area and poke holes with a stick or dowel or finger, 1 inch deep..
Place your seed in root-down, cover, and then----Mr. Triplesweet, I will see YOU in 79 days!

    Rose--I like to give the seed a boost before I put it in the ground. Then I don't have to plant any extra, "in case some don't germinate."

    I like the idea of sprouting as sometimes you end up with some 'dud' seeds and this sorts them out early :).
