3rd planting of sweet corn
with 24 plants in each block , 2weeks between the 1st and 2nd and 3weeks between 2nd & 3rd there will be a continual supply . a faimly of 4 adults eating corn 2 times per week consume 12 cobs in 3 weeks . with only 1-2 cobs per plant there would be little chance of a glut , we give Karens faimly a share (3 adults ) . thease plants are showing strong side shootsbut i still would only expect 2 cobs .
