In previous years I have only planted frost-resistant seeds before we were safe from frosts, but this year I planted a LOT of sweet corn just before it snowed! I figured that the seed would be safe underground...... maybe, any ways! It was 88 degrees out just two days before snow was predicted, and I just could not STAND it! So I planted the corn.
In real life I play it safe, but when I garden I never do! Half the fun is seeing what I can get away with: with my garden I like to gamble!
Gambling does not always pay off- this year I lost some plants that are really not hardy in my area though I can USUALLY cover them and winter them over- but it sure is fun!
It will not be fun if I have to re-plant the corn, however.
