I always look forward to this point in the process of growing corn, when the plants stretch their necks to the sky and begin to display their tassels. I started my seeds in early May. And while two months may seem like an eternity when growing other veggies, when it comes to my corn, it doesn't feel like a long time at all. I'm sure this has something to do with the fact that a corn seedling resembles nothing more than a tiny blade of grass in its infancy and then goes on to becoming a plant that measures over 7 feet tall two months later. In this way, I consider corn to be a fast growing vegetable.
Wonderful corn pictures, corn is my favorite vegetable to grow.
ReplyDeleteI have ears forming, tassles, and the first silks beginning to show too. Sweet corn is such a treat and it is indeed an interesting plant in the garden due to it's fast growth habit.
ReplyDeleteCorn is a veggie that i havent tried growing yet. It looks fun.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful! Mine are coming along too, although I didn't plant many :(
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! You post just reminded me I dreamed of corn last night. Crazy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful corn pics! Mine has just reached the knee high point, and is being swallowed by my pumpkins... Better luck next year for me!
ReplyDeleteYour corn looks great. I hope mine gets pollinated. I have them in 3x4' blocks which might be too small.
ReplyDeleteNice picture of the corn. They look happy.
ReplyDeleteDaphne, as an added precaution I hand pollinate mine. This worked well for me last year. I clip a few tassels and gently brush them across the silks. I also tap them with my index finger over the silks and if you look closely, you can see tiny grains of pollen fall.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of corn did you plant? Looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteToni - The variety is Argent. It's white with very tender kernel and a sweetness that is more reminiscent of corn grown 50 years ago.
ReplyDeleteSounds really good Thomas!
