I got my Baker Creek catalog this week, too. It sure helps with the winter blues!

My rescue chicken started laying this week. My other girls had stopped laying completely around October, so I’m really glad to have home-grown eggs again!

I have kind of a poll question for everyone: If you had to grow corn in one of those hoop-style plastic-covered greenhouses, what’s the smallest you would go with?

(I’m hoping to put in some “isolation greenhouses”, so I can grow multiple varieties of corn without them crossing. I have pipe-benders and a source for plastic coverings, but the smaller ones are easier to build than the big ones.)

Here’s one to try for short season before or after main crops:
Little Giant Sweet Corn - used to be sold by Bountiful Gardens. 55 days to maturity. Short stalks. Link below may be the same:

I personally like the Country Gentleman white corn. I also am thinking about the Stowells Evergreen which they used to pull up by the roots and hang upside down to have “fresh” corn well into the winter. Both are available @ Bakers Creek. However, I’m not sure about the height of these.
