: I planted Silver Queen corn about 13 days ago and half is doing really well. However, half of the crop hasn't come up yet. These are all located on one end of the garden, each day I see one or two popping up down there, but the top of the garden is way ahead of the bottom. Am I being impatient or do I have a problem?

Hi Ron,
You don't state your zone, but I suspect you are in 7 or lower. You also say "the top of the garden is way ahead of the bottom." I'm thinking that the garden is on an incline or hill. Cold air is heavier than warm air and the seeds at the bottom of the hill will have cooler soil and take longer to germinate. Am I on the right track here?
