I was so excited to grow corn this year for the first time ever and bought some heirloom organic bantam sweet corn just to see if I could do it. The stalks are beautiful fall decoration too and apparently that is all it will be because they are tall and majestic and deaf as a post as they have no EARS! Well they look good and give the garden added height and interest even though I wasnt growwing anything in hoping it would all come together like a nice livingroom design....I don't know why they they didnt pollinate because there are bees everywhere and everything else is very well pollinated.
Due to all the rain I haven't had to water in more than a week which is nice and it seems to have a positive effect on the worm situation. Last year we were inundated with very wiggly worms I tried not to cut in half when digging but this year the early "droughty" period must of made them go way deep until now. Night time produced a big crop of night crawlers for fishing. I am eager to replenish my worm composter as well...they are such helpful little creatures and make such wonderful soil.
