One tip for you new guys that I just thought of...
Don't plant one row of corn. It pollinates much better when planting at least 2-3 rows.
Also, there's no real need to buy "Bonnie" plants for anything other than tomatoes and peppers. (You don't need those either, but they take longer to grow from seed) I actually saw 6 pack trays of corn to transplant at the Co-op yesterday. I can't believe anyone would buy stuff like that. They sell okra that way too. For less than half the cost of one six pack of plants, you could buy a pack of seed and have enough seed to plant for years if you're only planting a normal sized backyard garden. Store your seed in the deep freeze and it will last indefinitely.
Squash, cucumbers, and zucchini planted from seed will be up within a week if soil temps are okay, and they are okay now.
Soak your okra seed overnight in water so it will germinate faster.
I've had luck with G90 corn not getting blown over. Might consider that if you're in an open area where wind could knock stuff down. Tastes good too.
