It is very easy to germinate corn in the garden. Plant into wet soil or give a good watering after planting and don't water again for 3-4 days depending if it is hot or warm. If you over water them they will rot. You can do in trays but as mention above be careful with watering. Transplant when about 75-100mm high, don't leave it until they are 300mm high. Sane applies to bean and peas.
Thnx for this advice. Some areas border on Sub-and Tropical which can be confusing.
I tried corn a few years ago. The cobs seemed to shrivel up 'n die.
I'm thinking of giving it another go. Interesting to see they don't like being too wet.
