We've been wondering over the years if our garden corn, grown from store-bought seeds, could be used to grow new corn.So... last year we had a few cobs drying around the house for decoration. When Mom was done with her "Fall Parties" we took the corn cobs and dried them by the woodstove. We removed the kernels from the cobs, and stored them in the basement where it is cool and dry...
...and planted them this spring. The little plants have come up fast! Here you can see some of them that we've planted in a "Three Sisters" garden. We piled up dirt with Horse Manure, put a shad (fish) inside the mound for additional fertilizer, and the corn germinated very fast. You can see the fencing we put around to protect the corn from Crows...The next question to be answered is... how well will it produce more corn? Stick around and lets see!
