Well since this is your first garden I will tell you something that I had to find out the hard way.

When you plat your corn, plant it in short multiple rows instead of one long row. If you plant it in one long row it will not "cross spit" (pollinate) properly and you will get little bitty ears that won't develop properly.

Good luck with your first garden. It is something that is very enjoyable and very addictive and even competetive to a point.
