Weekly Update: Growth Almighty!

Measuring stalks is becoming tricky -- some of it is as tall, or is taller than us!

Bloody Butcher still continues to be the best growing corn for height.  Golden Bantam and Ruby Red have the best seed to stalk ratio.  We were really impressed with our newest, Ruby Red, having grown a full 2.5 inches since we planted the seeds last week! (see picture on right).

Earlier this evening we watered the corn since we haven't gotten much rain during the week. Some of the corn was watered by hose, the rest by bucket since our hose cannot reach the stalks in the back.  Since we were using buckets, we decided to give all the stalks a little bit of Miracle Grow fertilizer for the first time.
