Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

>You are wise to begin small. 
Nevertheless, I may try corn in '00 because the "Seeds of Distinction" 
catalog, which came today, lists 'Chires Baby Corn.'  It produces the 
little oriental ears seen in Chinese cookery.  The real attraction is its 
productivity:  Chires makes 4- to 5-foot-tall plants that can yield up to 
40 ears each because it "often has 3-5 stalks with 8-12 ears per stalk," 
according to the catalog.  Furthermore, "Mature ears can be dried and 
shelled and used as a popcorn."

>Now *that's* a corn worth trying in a SqFt configuration!
-----------------------
Small is a 6 pak for $1.29 or a seed pakg, a few seeds started on wet tissue,
planted in a Dixie cup... w/corn you do this again in 2 wks to get continuous
corn.

For larger ears, pluck all but 1-2 stalks and half of the ears... Popping
corn?  hard to eat regularly sometimes and has special drying storage
requirements.  No prob, just check first.

PS A new bios chip for an ols machine is 10-30$.
