I'm with Bev on the horse manure. We covered our raised beds in it a couple years ago, and everything growing there LOVES it! The plants love when you talk "Horse-sh#t". Steer manure is good too~whichever is more readily available. Lowe's and Home Depot both have steer manure for just over $1/bag.

What beautiful colors! Plus the shape and size of the kernels are perfect. I always hang some on my doors.I agree, this is really making me look forward to some fall decorating! MJ

Have you ever seen white kernels with blue dots? My adopted uncle recieved some passed down through a family. We have been searching for some to get a name and can't find it.

Oh I just love corn! I think it is absolutely a beautiful creation. I swear, when I shuck an ear of corn, I sniff it like a crack addict. I love the smell of dirt and earth and sun and rain all mixed together and trapped within the husks.....it's my absolute favorite smell (next to woodsmoke on a fall night!)

Bonne...it's beautiful! I should plant some of that. I have the hay, the pumpkins and the corn stalks for a great fall decoration for the barn and Indian corn would just complete that!

Keep Smiling.....Bev

Bonne, you're Indian corn is beautiful! I wanted to plant some this year, but with the new baby and all I never got around to much gardening. My grandpa always used to grow it, so it makes me think of him.
Bonne Posted - Aug 16 2007 : 7:38:35 PM
just like sweet corn, plant ,water , and watch it grow!
I've grown popcorn in the past~the ears have hardened kernels
when ripe that you remove from the cob.
Easy to grow too.
Sweet corn takes so much garden room, and I can get yummy locally grown
corn 6 ears for a buck, so I don't bother with it anymore.

is it just for decoration? do you grow it just like regular corn? plant at the same time?
thanks!
does anybody know about growing popcorn or is that a silly question?
thanks!
