Will definitely do that for next year for our first try at "eating" corn (which we are eager to do!). This was just planted for using as fall decorations for the house, barn and coop.

Also helps it withstand wind damage. <br /><br />Fair Winds, Following Seas and a Safe Port,<br /><br />Cap'n Jan<br />Cap'n Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643165126060623120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2051512728005374779.post-72919515087767702802015-06-26T06:47:43.292-04:002015-06-26T06:47:43.292-04:00Thanks cw!
