OK, you made me take my tape measure down to the corn patch. My
tallest Silver Queen is also 118" which surprised me. I am in
Southern New Hampshire.

I have good soil thanks to the tons of manure and compost I have
poured into it over the years. I also irrigate my corn and most other
crops.

I did a lousy job of weed control this year and have a plan to
improve that next year. Hint: the organic folks will not like it.

Hmm...I need to measure mine, I have some stalks pushing 10 feet. I didn't
do anything special, just mulched it and dumped some fertilizer and water it
regularly. Other then that I ignore it.

Interesting enough, a later planting of the same corn sent up tassles when
it was about 4 feet tall. I'm not sure why.
