RE: The Magic and Beauty of Corn | "They tried to bury us, but they didn't know we were seeds"
I grew corn for a couple years many years ago. the raccoons got most of it, and it took up a LOT of room in the garden. So I quit growing it.
But I am fascinated with the glass gem type, it's so pretty! Looking forward to seeing yours!
darn raccoons. my approach nowadays is to eat whatever is eating my food. Tried that with hornworms, not so tasty... Raccoons would make for better eating I suppose.
It does take up quite some room, but the food value is pretty outstanding (if it's properly treated with lime). It's always a toss-up and evolution over the years to see what works, what you like to eat and how much space and energy you have right?
We're trying it out and are excited to see how the harvest turns out.
