Mine died before I had a chance to bring them home! I have different varieties to try this year, if I decide to grow them inside again.

By planting corn in larger blocks of say 6 rows by 6 rows (or 60 rows by 60 rows, LOL), rather than in small plantings, that problem would be avoided.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-68664696545847043662010-07-25T13:08:23.729-07:002010-07-25T13:08:23.729-07:00Granny, I've never grown corn and have never e...Granny, I've never grown corn and have never even seen any home-grown corn before. So my first reaction to the picture of your corn is - how come the rows of kernels look so uneven and crooked, compared to typical store-bought corn? Is this "normal" for home-grown corn? I don't want you to think that I'm dissing your corn (I'm not!), but I'm just really curious about home-grown corn.thyme2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512569281844698265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-32546111284013957842010-07-25T12:47:41.897-07:002010-07-25T12:47:41.897-07:00Apple Pie Gal and Erin, I ended up with just over ...Apple Pie Gal and Erin, I ended up with just over three cups of kernels, cut off the cobs, plus the two larger (older, tougher) ears that I'll force on myself for lunch.

Darned things probably spent more time drinking booze than growing ;-)<br /><br />It's Golden Bantam 8 heirloom seed, (yellow) 78 days. [Introduced 1902 by Burpee. Originated in Massachusetts.] Five- to six-foot stalks can be planted more closely than other varieties. Ears 6-1/2 in. long with 8 rows of golden-yellow kernels. The milk stage is short, and the ears must be picked without delay. I have nearly 5 ounces of seed left.
