If anyone deserved a bit of gardening reprieve, it's you! I'm sure someone, er, people will wander by with fresh things for you from time to time, lol!

It took me a while to master corn growing with our short season and climate challenges. I tend to plant a couple of short season hybrids, with the quickest days til maturity that I can find, straight into composted cow and horse manure, and side dress it heavily every two weeks with composted chicken manure and kelp emulsion. I've had quite a bit of luck this way.

Last year I didn't even plant corn, as it is a bit labor intensive, due to it being my first year as a beef leader. This year, however, I plan to spend quite a bit of time in my garden, so corn will be sown. Being out there for most of the summer makes this Kat more than a bit happy.
