What a summer! Rain rain rain! It triggered massive growth in the gardens.

I planted 600 corn seeds in a small 15x5 pit. Cut back 50 as they reached 6”. Cut back another 50 a week later.

Ended up keeping 400 stalks. Worried the corn would be small and underdeveloped but my worries have been relieved.

THIS IS THE SWEETEST CORN! Small tender tasting beautifully pollinated ears. Patting myself on the back for this one!

Also don’t let anyone tell you crowded gardens are bad. Nonsense. Here’s to a real corn harvest!
