Popcorn

25 September 2010

I harvested all the popcorn today. Got one 5-gallon bucked filled with husked cobs from 15′ of row.

The quality of the cobs varied greatly, with some only 10-20% filled in, dependent, as far as I can tell, on the quality of the soil in which they grew. Pretty much what you’d expect, but the results were striking:

Also dug 20 gallons of coffee grounds and 4 gallons of kitchen waste into the west beds.

The growing season this year has been very long, with our warm, early Spring and not even a light frost yet. We’ve almost always had some very light frost by mid-September, but not this year.
