I grow short-season corn varieties. As long as I can get my corn planted by mid-July, it’ll ripen in time.
Some of my other crops, like gourds or melons, I’m a little more concerned about.
So far I only have 1/3rd of my tilling done, and nothing planted.

You and me both, Sister! I am BEYOND crabby this spring season - I cannot get a THING done due to the weather.
NONE of the fields around us are planted in corn, soybean and hay for local milk cows.
If it stays wet, or goes straight to hot and dry, it’s going to get ugly.
I am 100% convinced that The Sun controls our Solar System (Hint: SOLAR = SUN!) and if we’re going into a minimum cycle again, we need to adapt and adapt FAST!
Good thing we, and our chickens, LIKE Kale, LOL!

I did that this season, too. Beau will be fishing in Canada and won’t get our Sweet Corn in until he returns in mid-June.
I bought short-season seed for that reason, and due to all of the Weather-Geek research I did on this upcoming growing season. ;)
