Corn varieties:
- Cuban (harvested from visiting Havana)
- Mexico (when we lived in Nayarit)
- My 3rd generation saved bloody butcher x painted hill cross

Sunflower and corn update
ready for transplant

The white parts are really going to develop into the root systems if I help them. Iām going to bury this corn up to the green leaves that are forming and it really helps fortify them - keep burying, keep mulching your seedlings when theyāre this small. Give them living compost
This is how I bury the corn - right up to the new growth. This encourages them to develop strong root systems. Iāll continue to do this as they grow and usually the respond pretty quickly to being mulched
More mulching 
Starting corn in succession
