I mentioned # of ears on my sweet corn in gardening. I now need your opinion/advise. I did some research and it said multiple ears was a bad thing. Bad if 2 but very bad if 3.... The corn was put in amended soil and side dressed later with 24 nitrogen. Well spaced and weeded hard. Growing well with plenty of water moderate day temps. BUT cooler nights. Well checked it again today and getting 4 ears per stalk. So I picked a few of those and removed 2 bottom ears on each. Should I go ahead and remove every lower 3rd ear leaving just 2? Which I have always gotten. Could this removal have damaged the stalks I already did? Thanks in advance for any help
Just a guess, we are talking sweet corn right? With all the developments in seed it would not shock me to see stalks that produce 4, let them develop.
That was my original thought, but the articles spooked me. I only removed them off 4. What crazy production year here..for Every thing, save my peaches.
My daughter garden is crazy too this year, love that the kids love picking veggies, the little one eats peas as fast as you can pick them, green beans too
Earliest canning I've ever done. Today more beans, carrots, beets went in canner and beet greens in freezer. I'm finally seeing a bit of pink in some tomatoes. Still nothing ripe. Though I will have all my salsa ingredients ripe at the same time..
