I grow corn in Qld Australia. Late summer (Feb) to early summer (Dec). Temps can range from summer 20 min to 34 max to winter 4-10 min to 22-25 max in winter. No frosts. I sow direct into damp soil with a light watering and do not water for 3-4 days, then only a light sprinkle. Corn grows really quickly. I use to plant corn seedlings between 2-6" high and would have to pull the plants apart to plant them - many bare rooted - no soil around the roots. Plant late afternoon. Good watering the first week and away they went.
