Planting Our Corn

Do you remember our corn from last Sunday? It should be pretty much dried out by now, although I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to leave it for a bit longer either. I did get impatient a little earlier in the week and plant some which wasn't completely dry, so I don't know if it will work or not.

Well it's not looking beautiful exactly, and I'm sure lots of these kernels won't grow, but there are certainly a few that are looking as though they'll have a chance at success. Can't hurt to try, can it?
So while most things I kind of throw into the garden and see what happens, I thought we might plant these according to the book, so I did some googling for us. And I learnt something super interesting.

If you plant beans at the base of the corn, the corn acts as a support for the bean, which climbs up the corn, and the bean attracts predators that will eat the bugs that eat the corn. Cool hey. So that's what I thought we might try.

So sleep well and let's do some planting tomorrow :)
