Ears to the Weather: Planting

We are learning a lot about recycling through our school.  So when we ran out of space in the greenhouse containers our Mom & Pop bought for our Cornnecticut experiment we had to go to Plan B.  Chinese take-out.  The containers that is!


We ended up planting 14 varieties of corn that take over 100 days to grow. So far we planted:

  • Plant Hart's Ornamental Indian Maize
  • Heirloom's Squaw Corn
  • Heirloom's Indian Corn
  • Heirloom's Truckers White Corn
  • Heirloom's Truckers Yellow Corn
  • Heirloom's South American Yellow
  • Heirloom's  Broom Corn
  • Heirloom's Broom Corn, Multi-color
  • Heirloom's Bloody Butcher Corn
  • Heirloom's Hickory King Corn
  • Heirloom's Stowell's Evergreen Corn
  • Three kinds were popcorn:

  • Heirloom's Japanese Hulless Popcorn
  • Heirloom's Lady Finger Popcorn
  • Heirloom's Strawberry Popcorn
