Question

Can you start a second crop of corn in August in North East Tenn?

Answer 1

Why not?   Check the "days to harvest" on your corn package.  If you have more days left before the first frost than the "days to harvest", give it a whirl!

Answer 2

It is highly unlikely that you will get a decent crop of corn planting now.  Even if there are enough "days" left, the fact is that as days get shorter, it just doesn't count the same way.  There are far better crops to plant in the fall.   If you have a lot of land, and left over seed,  give it a try, but if land is a premium to you and you want a real crop, try turnips, kale, mustard, collards, lettuce, green onions,  brocolli, cabbage, radishes....   corn would be for fun if you have land and time to play with.

Answer 3

No.

Corn requires warm weather, and at least twelve hours of sun light. By the time the corn reaches maturity( assuming it was planted now) the days would be too short and the temperatures too cold. Sorry

Answer 4

ur the only 10 i see ;)

Answer 5

Some corn only takes 80 days to harvest and others over 100. Check the back of the package for your growing season. Corn really likes it hot and sunny. As the days get shorter and the nights cooler you may not have enough time
