i planted sweet corn in my own backyard on 4-17-09 ... 17dayz ago and the results are awsome! I chose Golden Cross Bantam Hybrid @ Walmart for $1.00 and DAY by DAY the shedding lights have become deep rooted nature! I believe it's a Kernel of Patience and by the time harvest arrives, i figure in 85 days or so ... i'll be ready for the pick'ins and surrendering my vegetable for the OC FAIR. I can not wait till i can see the pearly white maze. Right now we can only see the stems and i figured i have a "Blessed" field and my sighs did dry BUT with enough energy and LOVE... my meadows going to be rich with corn & i may just WIN the scarecrow award!!!
YEP! One sees every body as one. WIth one goal. One clothing. And ONE LORD! BLESS YOU!!! (hawchew!) - next corn update in 2 weeks...(smiles)*
WATCHING MY CORN POP UP IN ROWS!
ANOTHER UPDATE SINCE MY LAST POST... 17 dayz ago!!!
Well... since i have taken any pics of the Killer Korn Field (which was 17 dayz ago)- i have found the weather to be mostly fair and sunny... we haven't had any weather warnings of frost, hale nor snow! It seems like mainly the pollen conditions are making people miserable. Anyways, as we approach the summer season the ground could become alittle more warmer in temperature to help the corn grow- before then; i may have natural sweetness on the grill... need some good tips and receipes for corn... maybe some Indian Pudding? The corn is not quite fully mature getting the ruler out for scale. ANother update in 2 weeks-

MY CORN IS IMPROVING!!!
ITS FINALLY BEEN 33 dayz since my last corn update... and all i have to show the proof is in the pics! I'd like to have award winning corn, yet the weather has been very below average and we have had nothing but June gloom! My corn cannot improve unless...??? Well, the first day of summer is actually tomorrow & now all i need to do is what a few more weeks until harvest & can begin to grow another crop! ... so, my heart and soul went out to growing "GOOD" corn but unfortuantly it looks like (hmm?)- idk,,, this could be my farming trial and the real farming starts when this stalks die!
... Will keep you posted on much ears of corn and the outlook @ the fair... as of now; it is difficult for me to keep the squirrells out of the garden! lol. =]
The lesson for each of us is this: if we are to grow good corn, we must help our neighbors grow good corn.
It is possible to give away and become richer! It is also possible to hold on too tightly and lose everything. Yes, the liberal man shall be rich! By watering others, he waters himself.
TODAY i entered my Killer Corn @ the O.C Fair. I was very excited last week but waited until this week to enter 3 ears of corn- Unfortunately i did not use any Insect Spray and without Pesticides- it's difficult to coquer the PEST! So; it took me awhile to break off corn from the stalk and peel back the husk to find mush, half popped corn and disease... some weren't een ripe! i finally found my 3 best ears of Killer CORN to take to the O.C Fair - Tomorrow and throu out the week my corn will be on display.... yet i will not beable to make the trip to find out the final results until i pick up my entry (keeping my ticket for the Extreme Roedeo) BUT throu all this i enjoyed every minute of the fight against a CORN NAG- which was both helpful and harmful to me BUT i managed to impress myself and fullfill my GOAL to take BINDY'S CORN TO THE FAIR! So; all in all i'm PROUD OF MYSELF- i even sampled what a few small ears of corn (popped them in the microwave- simply "chewy") - I thinks next time... i won't be in my big backyard with backyard "boogie" and make the fresh choice to head on over to the local Farmers Market ... I'm just thinking that i planted corn @ the wrong time of year- and it wasn't enuf water nor SUN! ...??????????????? who knows- NOthing else compares until i get my hands on that fairy ring... ha ha! *__*
Ha hA Ah!
Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.
=]
Well... not sure if i should just leave the corn stalks standing until the fall harvest and Halloween Season begins - As spirits roam the neighborhoods at night,Let loose upon the Earth till it be light...
Idk ... EAT, DRINK and continue to be SCARY!
LOVE OUTTA BINDYS KORN FIELD!

Just For Fun!
So much for hobbies, games and toys-
My corn field wasn't exactly full to the tilt BUT i did mange to get enuf cobs for all to devour- AND THIS DOES INCLUDE MY PET SQUIRREL, Legend... i sometimes call Leeeeso or Lisa. It was the very first time that my squirrel got to sample corn- since i have pick'd all i can and left overs out... slowly Legend has been pilfering ears of corn left out in the basket. Yes, this year's Season for growing corn in Bindy's region is finally over!!! I have pulled up all stalks & have not not considered to make any corn husk children. Just peeled the cornhusk & have put all leaves in the trash- I am now considering to grow pumpkins.... just in time for HALLOWEEN!!! yippie!
... i might keep a update on my Pumpkin Patch- "Let the word go forth that today the torch has been passed to a new generation of Pumpkin Growers." ....
Afterall- i never met a Pumpkin i never liked! (((((muah)))))
