Corm only 3 feet tall
It already have the pollen developing and tassels. What can cause corn grow
so short? I see this in other gardens here at the community garden. |

Another corn question
I've grown corn this summer for the first time in about a zillion years.
The garden space I have access to gets sun only about half the day, so I wasn't expecting a terrific crop. I planted 3 10-foot rows of Golden Bantam and one 10-foot row of Butter and Sugar. The Golden Bantam has yeilded some great corn (just had two ears for lunch!), but the B&S has long, thin ears with some underdeveloped kernels. What would cause this? Is there a problem with planting so few of one variety? I'm not clear on corn pollination, so I don't know if it maybe neeed more of its own "kind" for pollination. I planted the corn in early June, I think. We had a very, very hot July and so far a cool August. Also, why is corn planted in hills? Thanks, |
