amazing! please share your corn secrets! Mine corn stalks are under 1m and already forming cobs (must have given up on getting taller), which I expect to be mini also, if not consumed by bugs before I get to them!
No real secret Liz, just well prepared soil. Well dug with plenty of blood and bone and chicken fertilizer. It likes a drink and a regular application of fish emulsion. Plenty of compost, all the usual suspects go into it. Try and follow a previous planting of peas if you can so it can use their left over nitrogen. Hope some of this helps. There's nothing as tasty as growing your own Sweet Corn.
I haven't stopped by your blog for a while... need to remember to check in when we are suffering through cold and snow in northern US, and you are teasing us with your beautiful garden pictures. YUM!
