Re: Wind breaks
I have obtained tall corn seeds from a good friend of mine. The seeds came
from corn that was from 16' to 18' tall. It works great as a windbreak on
the edge of the patch and is also as a really great conversation piece. The
only thing is that with such tall corn that it should only be grown on the
north side of the garden so it doesn't rob your pumpkins of sunlight. If
you are interested in some seeds or for that matter, if anyone is interested
in some seeds just e-mail me privitely.
