Wahoo corn!

The first year I did a garden I planted corn. The wind constantly blew it flat and it struggled. My soil ph was too alkaline at the time as well, not helping the situation. Let's just say that I failed at growing any corn but grew nice fall corn husk decorations for the front porch. I gave up for a few years. I renewed my determination to grow an ear of corn. I have a long, skinny grow box and decided to grow 5 small rows instead of 2 long rows side by side, hoping for the best fertilization.

(My phone camera has a scratched lens, resulting in blurriness on the left side.)

It seems to have worked out well! We picked our first dinner's worth of corn on the cob. The ears are small, maybe one ear equals half of a regular ear, but they're tasty and the kernels are fully developed. I was so worried about the corn not fertilizing and growing decorations again.

There's enough out there for another dinner as well! So I finally grew some edible corn and am so excited to boil the little cobs tonight!
