Early sweet corn grown under clear plastic. The corn here was planted in early April and is now about 6 inches tall. If good weather continues, we may have OH sweet corn by the end of June.

With this planting method, corn is planted in holes rather than in a deep furrow with a continuous sheet of plastic over the top which has to be cut when the corn presses against the plastic. The clear plastic here still has an excellent warming effect.
