You only get 1 or 2 ears per plant, at one plant per square foot. I hadn't grown much of it due to the size of my garden, so with the new garden expansion corn and potatoes were the two things I wanted to add. I'm happy I did!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-31949153065440010772012-07-29T21:22:16.482-07:002012-07-29T21:22:16.482-07:00Wow!
