      Those wild streams with the cypress knees coming up are so pretty. Hope you dont have any huge gators.

      you need too plant corn in a larger group so the wind can pollinate it. at least 4 or 5 rows single or double rows wont pollinate very well and thats what makes the Kernals'. the farmers here have started too plant a later crop also the last few years too extend their road side sells, not for canneries just for local families and lake traffic. I love a good bicolor myself. One year one of the farmers gave me some GMO corn that had a gene the corn worms did not like so it was worm free it was good.

      If you have enough seed and room go ahead and plant more. The only thing is living where you do Raccoons love it more than you do and so do birds and squirrles. But I can get you recipes for all of them.lol

      Ah, I get it! There's an old Robert Heinlein story where the colonists dropped off on a new planet are told to "Beware of Stobor." Doesn't matter which planet they're dropped off on, they get told the same thing. When we went to Panama, and were walking around in the forest, I told young James the same thing, just so he'd be on the look out for the unexpected!
