I have not had much success with corn. My neighbor plants corn every 2 weeks for 3 or more plantings. He is always picking corn! He plants his in blocks 10 feet square. He will plant at least 3 times and his pollination is always good. He has some worms in the last crop, but they are not too bad. For some reason the wind blows mine down a couple of times each year and that just kills my pollination. Yours looks good. Keep on growing!
Thank you! I planted those two beds full both times. You definitely want them quite close together, but you don't need 170 in one bed like I did! Too few corn plants and you'll get spotty pollination. Also, I've learned that when the wind blows them over, just leave them, they'll right themselves.
I grew Ambrosia sweet corn and Double Red sweet corn. The Ambrosia grows really well, and is big and sweet. The Double Red, sadly, is not impressive. I was hoping for more and better than I got. migardener.com/store/99-seeds-by-category/all-seeds/corn/ambrosia-sweet-corn/

I'm growing corn this season. I don't normally but will give it a go. What type of corn are you growing?
