Corn Experiment...

Last week I showed you a picture of the corn fields, and a close-up of a corn stalk here...

After a weekend of hot weather after an inch of rain, I wanted to see just how much that corn grew!  Here it is...that same corn field, four days later...


...and that same corn stalk...


The corn has grown so much that the stalk doesn't quite have the same shape that it did in the first picture, so it's a little hard to compare.

This was interesting for me...I never paid such close attention to the corn before!  I've paid more attention to the weeds in my garden...which by the way, have grown a lot too.

I guess I'd better go try to get rid of them, but I think I'll wait until it cools off a little.

  1. I think you will surpass the saying around here, "knee high by 4th of July".

  5. OH gee the weeds!!! Are we ever weed free? I need to be out doing that instead of being on the computer. :)
    I do like it though when it is all clean.
    I love watching your corn grow too. It is amazing to watch it week to week.
    Have a wonderful week!
