Lord, how much corn do you grow? My understanding is that corn
needs to be planted in blocks that are at least 4X4 for good
pollination. With that reasoning, you will be planting about 100
stalks of corn. It that about right?

I plant six 4x4 blocks of corn, so 96 stalks. And NONE of the corn
is ever frozen, it's all eaten fresh.

I mean, really, a couple of tomatoes, a couple of ears of corn, some
fine cheese and a glass of wine is all you need for an excellent meal.
(For wine and cheese you could substitute cold fried chicken and
a Sam Adam's Summer Ale. Or, just add another ear of corn and
a cold glass of milk or iced tea.)

Record low temperature last night! Even though I covered the extra
early corn with a sheet, I look to have a small bit of frost damage
to some of the plants. Since I still have the final thinning to do,
this may not matter much at all.
