Aside form lots of compost and hand pollinating my corn, I didn't really do anything special. <br /><br />LindaG - the variety I grew is Argent available through botanical interests. I will definitely grow it again next year. <br /><br />KitsapFG - yes, they are cherokee purple.<br /><br />Erin, I grew them in blocks of 5 plants in between my melons since I had some extra space. I hand pollinated most of the ears.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-10337727251557265482010-08-02T10:52:18.385-04:002010-08-02T10:52:18.385-04:00That corn looks awesome!
