Corn Plants Questions & Answers | Questions 1 - 7

I have planted a vegatable garden. This is the first garden in this area. Tilled several times prior to planting in sandy soil. The tomatoes and corn are not doing well. The tomatoes look like they are wilting. I pulled the yellow leaves from the bottom of the plants. I water them at least once a day or every other day. They are produce tomatoes. but the plants look 'dwarfed'. The corn also looks dwarfed. The stalks are all different heights and even the small ones have the tassels like the tall ones. They fall over when watering. The zucchini, bell peppers, and cucumbers are doing well. The squash is kind of slow growing. Don't know if I did not put enough peat moss on soil prior to planting. I have put the spray fertilizer on once since these plants started looking this way. Any suggestions?

Thank you for your question, Devon.  Here is general article about growing corn in a home environment:  https://s3.wp.wsu.edu/uploads/sites///04/Sweet-Corn-FS104E.pdf

The primary reasons for avoiding two or more varieties of corn are (a) wanting to prevent non-GMO pollination, and (2) wanting to prevent creation of a hybrid variety.  Genetic issues aside, under field conditions, 97% of the kernels produced are pollinated by. other plants--whether of the same or a different variety.  (https://anrcatalog.ucanr.edu/pdf/.pdf). 

Since Casino Sweet Early Corn produces pollen early in the season, and Golden Jubilee is a late season corn, they may not both be at the same point in the growing cycle simultaneously, so you won't have to worry.  Good luck!
