Oh Yeah, Did I Tell You?

Did I tell you that I planted corn in the garden along with the squash?
I wasn't very serious about it; I just stuck a few seeds in the ground next to the squashes. The squashes did great, but they shaded out the corn, so the corn couldn't grow much. I guess I should have let the corn get up some size before I planted the squash.
There are about 10 little corn plants, and they are doing what corn does: they have grown tassels and ears. Interesting to watch, just little.
Maybe next year I'll be a little more scientific about it, and plant in rows so they have room to grow, and can cross pollinate, and we'll get some full-size corn.
I don't know too much about growing corn, but given the choice of squash or corn, I'll take the squash every time.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
