Questions

When should I plant corn in North Carolina?

In Charlotte, sow outdoors from April 6 to April 20. Across North Carolina the window opens between March 22 and April 23, depending on the local last frost.

How is this date worked out?

Sow outdoors 1–3 weeks after the last frost. Frost dates are NOAA 1991–2020 averages for the weather station nearest each city.
