[Sqft-l] Close corn planting

**Phil Marcus pmarcus@swbell.net>**

Thanks for the warning.  I, too, planted just one zucchini seed and two
crookneck squash seeds.  They are now ready for transplant;  let the deluge
begin.

I'm transforming my new garden into a square foot garden, working in more
and more organic matter.  The soil here (Houston) is primarily clay, so that
means lots of rice hulls, composted manure and gypsum.  Does wonders.  In
fact, I'm trying an array of sixty-four Early Sunglow sweet corn.  I planted
them fourteen days ago and they're between six inches and one foot high.  In
the new soil, they're growing better than twice the rate of my previous
(ill-fated) corn transplants.  I just worked in some 14-12-13 and watered it
in.  This might actually work!  Has anyone else tried a corn planting?
