Can corn in a pot really work? If this is true, next year is looking up!
This is the first time we’ve tried it, but so far, so good!
“Can corn in a pot really work?”
It did for me last year.
I had rows and rows (about 250 corn plants) all in containers and I had a bumper crop. But I did Silver Queen which gets 8’+ tall and mine certainly got at least that tall and some of my rows began toppling over and I had to use my tomato stakes to get the corn stalks propped back up. This year I went with White Mirani from Park Seed which isn’t supposed to grow as tall and which also matures in less time.
And I’ve already had ripe tomatoes (Sun Gold cherries) and I have a ton more that I’ll be picking soon. Home grown tomatoes before the 4th of July in the Pacific Northwest is something of an accomplishment, I think.
