How do you tell if grilled corn is done?

You can tell the corn's done by pulling back the foil a little; the kernels will be plump and will look almost steamed or boiled. (This method of cooking corn is forgiving; if you're not sure the corn is done, it can go back on the grill for a total of up to 15 minutes.)

Does corn seed go bad?

Corn Illustrated: Corn seed can last a long time if stored properly, but not forever. A class project consisted of planting 100 seeds of four-year-old, one-year-old and new corn seed packed for 2015 in trays of growing medium.

How long does it take corn to sprout from seed?

At 50° F corn will take approximately 25 days to emerge. At 55-60° F corn will take 10-14 days to emerge. At 65-70° F corn only takes five to eight days to emerge (Meyer). How long a seed can last in the soil and remain viable depends on temperature, moisture, and pests.

What happens if you plant sweet corn too close together?

If you plant them too close, you will end up with starchy, very un-sweet corn. To keep your corn separate and sweet as advertised, you must have at least 50 feet between blocks of corn. It is safer, and you are more likely to harvest what you expected, by following the spacing suggestions.
