I'm kind of a novice gardener

Solid advice from Chris there. I would just like to add that if your land is “virgin” corn growth would probably not be optimal especially if you don’t get much sunlight.

Your growing season is so short, i'm not sure it would be worth it to try. If i'm not mistaken that latitude even has problems growing tomatoes. Cool weather crops would be where I would set my sights on, unless you have a green house to get things started early on.
