Corn, What’s Not to Love? Growing Corn in a Raised Bed is the new episode of Late Bloomer. I only committed my 4’x8′ raised bed to corn this year, and really packed it in. See the results! Watch on YouTube, and please give me a thumbs up and share with friends.
It’s a lot of effort to grow corn for what you get, one to two ears per stalk, but I always plant it. I love watching it shoot out of the ground, get tall, and the tassels waving in the wind. But, I especially like to eat it fresh, whether fresh out of the husk or straight into a pot, there’s nothing fresher than growing your own. Select a variety that’s right for your growing zone, add a lot of rich compost and let the genes in the seed do the rest.
If you’ve had trouble with pollination, be sure to watch as I share some tips!
Corn, what’s not to love? I don’t love when I don’t choose the most perfect day to pick my corn, which you will see in this episode! I hope you enjoy Growing Corn in a Raised Bed and stay tuned for a big two-part August Update in just over a week. If you are a big fan of Late Bloomer, consider making a donation to keep the episodes coming. Many thanks, and happy gardening! – Kaye
