Thanks for the pictures. I am loving looking at that corn. Would you please tell me again what type you are planting? I am going to be trying something different next year, and I am thinking that your corn might be just the ticket.

I also wanted to mention my Garlic. For the first time, it isn’t doing so well. I planted it in the fall like usual and covered with row cover and straw during the really cold weather like usual.

They grew fine as far as the height and good green color. However, they did start yellowing early and they are not forming bulbs this year.

Would an extra cold winter cause this or some nutrient deficiency? Any possibilities to explore that you can think of would be helpful. Thanks.

The corn is a Variety called Revaluation that I start in the greenhouse and transplant to the garden. Your garlic almost sounds like it needed fertilizer a month ago or did it need extra water? It may form bulbs in the next month. I will need new seed garlic for this fall as the rust has wreaked havoc on this years crop or I may just plant more of the early Chinese Red as it matures before the rust hits...
