my first and last attempt at growing corn
beerorkid | August 4, 2008
Corn likes kicking it next to other corns. The three big plants I had in the main yard were not close enough to the main corn plantation to get adequate germination. Still I took what I got from my 8 corn plants this eve and got some killer corn. Enough ears for 3 sides of corn, and sweet as heck. Darn good for being something I fricking grew.
Would I do it again? No
But at least I grew my own corn and am darn P-roud.
It is too easy to buy 3 dozen sweet corn from the farmers market for me to deal with growing corn again. Still uber proud for actually eating corn I grew from seed. It is as close to animal husbandry I will ever achieve I bet.
We will not ever give up on normal garden stuff though. Fresh tomaters, herbs, cuces, and peppers cannot be beat.
Congrats! Most of them look really good! I know what
Mr. T | August 4, 2008Congrats! Most of them look really good! I know what you mean about the effort and economies of scale though. I picked up some corn yesterday a guy was selling at a stand in town and it was great. Not worth the effort to grow it when its so easy to just get some everywhere you look around town.
