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.

| 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. |

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!)

| 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. |

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.
