1766.5 Debacco is in the closer cold frame and the 1067.5 Kent is in back. The seeds were started April 5th and were put in the garden yesterday. If you look closely you can see a cover crop of field peas starting to come up. They were planted on about the same day the Atlantic giants were. On the hill above that you can see a large row cover. I have sweet corn growing under that. It was planted on the eighth of April and is a couple inches tall under the cover! The variety is 'Sweet Chorus' from Harris seeds. That variety will germinate very well in cool soil.(The best I have seen) In fact the corn was snowed on soon after it was planted and it went through several nights in the 20's! Yet it still sprouted.
