Despite this being a poor year for corn for me, I still had a decent harvest. Definitely will not start corn late ever again. Usually I’d have twice this amount and the ears would be fully pollinated. The illness that knocked me out in February prevented me from putting the corn out on time. (We have two sweet corn seasons, down here in San Antonio. I think I’m going to grow some this fall to make up for this year’s poor harvest.)
I think this particular failure was from the spike of feel like of 112° temperatures we had a couple of weeks ago. Since I have never grown corn this far out into the summer, I had no idea this was going to be a problem.
You can see on the cobs that everything was going well and then something caused everything past a certain date to fail. Every ear. So sad. I love homegrown corn.
I’ve been growing corn down here for twelve years and I’ve never had this happen. However, every year I’m dealing with something different, and every year my garden is a giant science experiment. No matter what happens in the experiment, I always learn something new.
Meet you out in the garden to munch on our homegrown corn!

When it is good, I’ll bet it is very, very good!!
That reminds me of the nursery rhyme “There was a little girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was very, very good,
But when she was bad, she was horrid.” 😊
Well, it is better than what those of us who did not grow any got.
Well I guess that’s true. Like wishing you won the lottery, but you don’t play. That’s why I don’t win! Thanks for the chuckle! I needed that!
You are welcome.
