Despite the hot, dry weather the corn has done remarkably well. It started off pretty straggly and limp, but over the past month it’s really shot up.
It’s also produced decent cobs. Previously the cobs I’ve managed to grow have been malformed and inedible.
I might have picked these a bit early, I’ve left the rest to continue developing. The birds and creatures haven’t noticed yet.
Perhaps next year you might plant enough maize that you can make a maze out of it. It’s proving very popular with people looking for a fun thing to do in a field with a crop taller than they are. 😉
My plan is to grow excessive amounts of crops that do well on my plot. That’s why this year we have about 20 kilos of potatoes to eat and a freezer drawer full of runner beans.
