The corn is Incredible. I mean the name of the corn is Incredible. It's an enhanced sweet corn like Ambrosia, only bigger. And the corn stalks are a little more sturdy. I have had to side dress it though because I did not get the stuff in the ground before planting.
A fun close up of the corn stalk leaves. And as you can see on my side bar I have added a few links to gardens I watch. I realized as I looked through them that I need to show the progress of my plants. I haven't done that much in the past. I think it's because I thought that the harvest was the most interesting part. So my challenge is to take more fascinating photos of their progress.
There are only 5 rows but they are bigger than what I've grown before. And I am no longer taking the time to boil and cut the corn off the husk. I will blanch them and then freeze them on the cob. My family prefers it and it's so much easier. I read recently that home gardeners biggest mistake is to make one or two long rows of corn. They do better with 3 or more rows in a short rectangular shape. So it sounds like we are still okay.

The corn is looking great. I just read an article on planting corn in short rows instead of long rows, and leaving the husk on when freezing. I plant to put a few rows next year. My grandson looks corn on the cob. What is the name of the corn you're growing?
