Plant: Sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata) | Variety: Silver Queen

This planting has been archived (Harvested)

Having access to our own pre-made corn patch, my boyfriend and I, set out to grow a small patch of corn for the first time! Our first batch, sown in February indoors, was planted outdoors the start of march, but died. We started a second batch shortly after, which we have had a wonderful success thus far with. However, while they’re looking almost fully mature, the pests of various types are starting to eat them :(
