Re: Corn- thanks

 
Hi Nesa,
Congratulations on your corn.
I just planted corn in Southern CA. It's been cool nights in the low 50's so I probably could have waited another couple of weeks.   I've never planted corn before so I did a lot of reading before I started but couldn't find info on varieties for my climate.
I chose all sweet corn: Breeders choice, Golden Jubilee and Early Sunglow. They all have different days to maturity so hopefully they'll ripen over a length of time.
I also tried a modified 3 sisters planting idea: corn with beans and every few hills a melon, squash or pumpkin .
Hopefully we'll have something to show for all the space this corn is using up on my tiny suburban lot.
good growing to you,
mum

 I think I see signs of babies peeking out fom the side of 2 of them. My maid (who's from an Indonesian farm) says this is it- we have corn. Thanks Arzeena for all your help. You other guys, anyone else out there planting corn?
