I was so proud!
« on: July 22, 2010, 10:17:21 PM »

There she is. About 8 ft tall and looking so good.




Then the rains came a perhaps a small typhoon.

I told Mom it was 8 ft tall. She said well now its 8 ft long. SICK MOM!

I tried to rescue it but 8 ft corn is tough to stand back up. It was also like a monstrous game of pick-up sticks.

Don't feel bad man. You should see the gardens around here. We've had so much rain that weeds have taken over. I could only wish my garden looks as good as yours right now.  :cry

Post a pic of your mother...  :D

Looks like you got hit with some heavy winds, after the heavy storms yesterday the corn fields around here are looking battered too. You have what, 3 or 4 rows?

You could try picking the stalks up, and piling more dirt (4 to 6 inches) around the bases of each stalk. If you only buried the seeds 2 to 4 inches, with the spacing you have, there isn't enough support.
