Corn: The Other Creepy Vegetable
I decided to grow corn again this year, more for the free stalks I'll get out of it than for the food. Heck, I'm growing about 144 plants, so who can eat 288 ears of corn themselves? 
Needless to say, I'll be sharing with friends and family.
Anyhow, my plants are just about at full maturity now. They are just under 8 feet tall and nearly all the plants have ears of corn on them. I should be able to start harvesting it in a few days.
I've lost 5 plants to raccoons already and hope they stay the hell away for the rest of the season. With so many plants, I'm not worried about coming up short.
Here's some photos:
Anyone else here growing, or ever grown corn before?
