City Corn

Having seen turn-of –the-20th-century sepia photos of corn grown in high density by Native Americans, it seemed plausible to grow corn in pots. So, in 2004, I grew 8’ corn in 7-3/4” containers.

There was considerable interest in the project. Unfortunately, my venture was not well documented. The garden will be replanted in 2005, along with occasional posting of the process of how to grow corn in pots.

Seeds Planted

The overnight seed soaking yielded a surprise. The 2005 seeds are more yellow than those from 2004, as you can see in the below photograph.

Seeds are planted. The sticks indicate 2004 seeds.
