Re: Sweetcorn

Doreen, Have you noticed how thick they now plant the field corn in Illinois
& Indiana.  Almost looks as though it were drilled in the rows with the rows
close together.  We used to plant it in hills 3 feet apart and rows 3 feet
apart.  Yet they still get bumper crops with those humongous ears.  I think
it's done by fertilizing almost continuously at the fastest rate that the
corn can take up the nutrients.  I once thought of using their methods in my
sqft garden but when I found out more about it I decided against it.

Regarding roasting ears from field corn.  I also remembered I liked them
better.  But now I find they aren't as good as I remembered.  I still grow a
small patch for corn meal and fodder for the horse.
