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.

The crop begins, again

Having a better understanding of germination rate, 30 seeds were started for the second crop; 10 from the 2004 seed pack, and 20 from 2005. This crop is beginning later in the year, so seeds are going to be soaked two days, to hopefully give them a faster sprout rate.
