Jagung menjadi juga

Male and female together on the same place?
The kernels still tasted very sweet, although exposed like that.
Yesterday we cleared this veggie patch to plant cool season vegetables that is a bit late than usual. Sunflower blooming from compost which is a nice surprise considering that it is winter.
Only a few sweet corn were left to harvest from that patch. I found 2 ripe red tomatoes from self-sowed plant. We have not harvest any red tomato for a long time, wanted to leave it ripen more but thinking about hungry tiny critters better harvest it quick.
Hopefully Ilhan sweet corn patch will ripen and we have more sweet corn to harvest. It takes longer for sweet corn cobs to mature in this cold weather. It will be another 3 months before we can start to sow sweet corn seeds again in spring.
Ilhan stole his father boots when his father went into the house for a while and he is pretending that he is a farmer.

What a cutie!
How unusual to have corn growing on the male part! It must be very confused!
Do you have an corn growing tips? Im looking forward to having a better go at it next summer...

Sue Garrett said...

We've just planted our sweet corn. It usually does well and provides us with plenty of corn to freeze as well as eat fresh
