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.

Third Week

It was a dark and storm week. In one two-day stretch, three inches of rain descended from the beyond. Our ever- cheerful local TV weather forecaster predicts more rain.The plants are transforming from dark to puce green.


The height of the plants has not changed, but the leaves seem to be getting wider, and on some, a third leaf is emerging.



No seeds germinated this week. Carefully dug around the seeds of the four plants that have not sprouted. Three are developing roots, and the forth is growing a fuzzy white mold where roots should be forming.
