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.

First Week

The seeds were planted on March 7, and began emerging from the soil on March 12. In three days, 11 have materialized from 2004 seed, and 19 from 2005 seed, an overall success rate of 71%. According to the packages, germination should have started today. Success can probably be attributed to last week’s high 60’s and low 70’s temperature.
