Has anyone tried growing corn directly in your lawn? I jumped into it yesterday because I have a ton of seed and no bed to take it. I bought two packs of sweet corn varieties at Wally World (enough for my space), but then I found a pound of Silver King at Southern States, and like a dumbass, bought it too because both Dad and I prefer white corn.
Since I don't have the bed built yet, and the fact I have almost an entire farm's supply of seed, I figured I'd just put it directly in the lawn and see what happens. I took a 12" spike, marked 2" with white duct tape and hammered holes on string lines and dropped the kernels in. I have absolutely no idea if this will work or not, so if any of you have ever tried this, I'd love some feedback. I will definitely keep you abreast of the progress, as we all may learn something from this.
Also, I'll have waaaay more than I need, so I was planning on freezing the ears husks-on and then thawing and nuking for "fresh" corn on the cob. Has anyone tried freezing unhusked ears of corn before? I swear, this whole learning thing is really annoying to me, LOL.
