To day is rainy and cold with an east wind so I'm indoors out of the cold. I checked on the corn seed and despite the cold it is germinating. I not sure of this or not but I think the the hybrid corn has lost the traits that keep the seed from rotting so it needs fungicide to keep the seed from rotting. The corn I plant is a very hardy variety and has the ability to grow back after a frost. One year it got hit by a frost in May but had just sprouted so it kept growing. Then we got a frost in June and the corn was up about 6 or 7 inches the corn looked terrible all wilted and black we thought we'd have to replant. We weeded it and let it be for a few days and lo and be hold it came back not every plant but this was okay because we plant four seeds to the hill to this rhyme.
One for the black frost
One the crow
One for the soil
One to grow
This dose not mean that only one survives but it leaves room for natural selection. It amazes me how The Creator as put all this adaptability in seeds there is no need for hybrids, and GMO seeds and all the garbage that the chemical companies make to keep these weak seeds from rotting and supposedly growing good.
One of last years corn fields the stalks grew 11 feet high
