Open Pollinated Corn

12 years ago

Just wanted to post a picture or two of my Golden Bantam (Open Pollinated) Corn.....

It was planted a little after Mothers's Day in Minnesota and is almost waist high by July 2nd.....

The soil was virgin soil...enriched by years of leaves falling from a elm tree. All my garden is open pollinated including corn, tomatoes (Delicious), Broccoli (Waltham), Squash (Blue Hubbard) and Potatoes (Red Norland) and (Kennebec)...great success this year with few bugs...

Can not find a device for posting pictures....where do we post them?
