This Ruby Queen corn had a low germination rate when the seed
was planted directly in the composted manure. 18 seeds were
planted and only 5 plants survived. Later I planted Ruby Queen
seeds in Jiffy pots and of 18 seed 16 survived and were
transplanted to the compost beds and seem to be surviving. Those
small plants are Elite cow peas planted about a week ago.
