We actually planted it three times in batches of 25. This final batch only sixteen stalks sprouted. For an experiment it wasn't bad, and now I know what I'm doing for next year when it's biointensive companion planting with beans and squash.
We only have one variety of corn this year, so we're not concerned about cross-pollination. Next year will be a little more nerve-wracking, because I plan on growing Aztec black corn too. I might have to do that at the in-laws' house, they have a field they bought only zoned for farm use and they want to know what I plan to do with it when we inherit the GFiL's house.
My dad used to grow Silver QueenWhen reading Sand Hill information, he plants based on tassling, so varieties are side by side but because tassling times are purposely planned to be different, no cross pollination. SO perhaps in the future when you know the tassling habits, you can grow both at home.
THe silver queen planted this year is the tallest corn I have ever grown. . . . always got outgrown then shaded by weeds. lol
Ours is Golden Bantam this year. Smaller plants but really hardy and surprisingly good if you get a lot of rain. If they fall over they won't immediately die, just pile dirt around the roots when you straighten it and it'll do fine. At least in my experience.When reading Sand Hill information, he plants based on tassling, so varieties are side by side but because tassling times are purposely planned to be different, no cross pollination.
