Finally opened the wet paper towel box I was pre-germinating the corn in, and results are abysmal. Out of the probably 3-400 kernels I put in, only 24 germinated, and given that being perpetually busy meant I gave them 2 weeks rather than 1, and the mold that developed, it's clear all others of that batch are dead.
I'm going to grab the parts I put to the side (the yellow and white and other odds and ends). But since that's the same age, it'll probably have about the same germination rate, so I'm looking at 50 or so seedlings. Enough, but barely.
