Couldn't resist, I don't have a clue for your area.

You will be fine as long as you get the corn in the ground in the next couple weeks. Over here they are just finishing up putting corn in the ground.

Tonight I am diggin up some I planted 4 weeks ago. We got so much rain in the last three weeks that a crust formed over the top of the soil. I dug down and found the seed had sprouted but it hit the crust and went back down. I was told to take a rake and break up the crust and it may come up but it didn't. So tonight I am going to till and then re-seed.

Same problem here. The clay soil gets like concrete! Going to replant again.

Our first planting is about 3 inches tall.
Our second planting is just coming up.
Our final planting will be put in this weekend if it doesn't rain.
We try to stagger the corn a week or two apart so that we have fresh corn for a longer period of time to eat.
Like others have said you still have a window of a couple of weeks left to plant.

Around here, in PA's chimney, I was told to plant on Memorial Day unless you cover the corn, but seeing as how it's raining I will plant some time next week. It's my first "real" garden so we'll see how it goes.
