wow. appreciate all the replies. I do grow in raised beds, so big block would not work for me as the native soil is a hard clay.

ya'll plant corn close, I was thinking 12" apart, but maybe I could drop that # down a bit. the raised bed is 6 feet wide x 12 feet long, and the other is 6x8. I figured I could squeeze 3 rows in 6 feet, but maybe? that would block it up a bit more.

abiding my time until maybe mid april, local farm report suggests either the 2nd or 3rd week in april for best production. oddly, planting late bugs become a problem and production drops off.
