It's great to get corn in the summer, but it takes a little more than throwing the seeds into dirt.
For starters, our summers can sometimes be prone to cool breezes from the northwest, which means it comes out of the
Arctic Ocean. Further inland, at places like Fairbanks, the gardens are better protected and a bit warmer.
I build a hothouse with a
removable roof and sides, so I get quick growth (about 5 feet in one month), which then allows another two months
to corn up. The best varieties I've grown have been Early Sunglow and Polar Vee; the worst, Early Seneca. I usually
grow some kind of squash at the base of the corn, too.
