Peg bugged me for a couple weeks to write about the corn crop and I told her she could do it. Well after waiting a couple more weeks, it is obvious she's not going to do any writing in a timely manner. We've had probably 5-6 inches of rain in the last ten days and maybe close to ten inches in the last month. The corn has benefited from the moisture, although the fertilizer we put on before the last two inch storm probably did the weeds more good than the corn.
Here it is today about 2.5-3 feet high. What is very exciting is we are seeing tassels which are part of the pollination process.
We have used some organic bug spray to keep the bugs off and the deer, etc. have not bothered it. There have been a couple of very heavy rainy downpours where a good portion was pounded down. But the stalks rebounded and are standing tall. So we're still in business.
