The temps vary widely during the day and during cold spells and
I was just thinking that it wouldn’t be very reliable to use when I read
under corn to use the 9:00 a.m. soil temp. Johnny’s points out that it also makes a big difference if
you’re using untreated (vs treated) seeds. My thermometer has a 5” probe and I put it all the way in.
I’m sure depth makes a difference too and I may have been too deep.
Does anyone else know? We were about 10 days later than all the neighbors on corn
planting and later than usual with our squash and cucumbers – May 5 in
Zone 5 where I planted them April 15 last year. They popped
though and have done great. Marcy SE Colo From: Chris Reid
