I am trying to grow a garden for the first time in Georgia Clay. Why is my corn starting to turn yellow?

I started all my vegetables inside in smaller pots and then transplanted them to my garden. I have corn, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers. No other plants are having a problem yet except the corn. The corn plants are between 3" and 6". I water on a regular basis but am wondering if I need to add some nutrients or if there is too much of something that is burning up the corn. Thanks!

Isn't corn supposed to be yellow??? Idk..is it supposed to be a different color cuz i always thought it was yellow when it was growing.
Reply:Plant "inhale" C02 thru the roots, if the clay packs to hard the plant cant breath
Reply:Clay is notorious for being hard to grow things in: It tends to get water-logged, for one thing. You might try adding a bit of compost, though I'm not sure it would help this late.



Good luck!
Reply:If the leaves are yellow with green veins that usually means too much Round up or too little iron. There is a picture at the link below.



Otherwise if the leaves are just yellowing veins and all it is probably a watering problem.
