We went to an annual night blast at Crazy Horse Memorial last night. Here are a couple of pictures I took in the museum displays that should be of interest to the Gardening Ping List, as well as the GGG List, though its not an article. The corn in the picture is intermediate between the ancient 'seeds in the tassel' type and our modern corn. Each kernel is in its own pod on the cob, and apparently needs to be threshed like wheat or other grains. The pictures are clickable links to the full size images on Photobucket.

That’s really interesting. I never knew that there was corn like that.

One of the seed catalogs I get used to carry pod corn. Can’t remember which one.
