This morning I’d like to share with you a response from Kunoichi she’d sent back to me, in regards to the “skipped corn,” in our larger garden, which from here out we’ll describe as simply, the garden. Our raised bed garden up by the house is called raised bed garden anyway, so what’s the difference??
As you know, I’ve been moaning since a week or two after our garden started sprouting up out of the ground, in regards to our corn this year.
Our corn really has done poorly as there is a ton of skips in the rows, or missing spaces. I’d shared earlier we had the same problem with our lima beans, but only with the ford hooks. I figured this was simply the bean seed being so large that the seed itself was clogging up our drop tube, and it was doing this.
Deb and I reset the skips in these, and they’re doing very well now, so, one problem solved.
The corn…this is another matter. Once I saw the poor performance of the plants, I thought it may have been the soil. On the other hand, we put cow manure down extensively over the fall and winter, plus we had the whole garden area planted in peas last fall, after the spring garden croaked. Thus, supplying nitrogen.
So besides the cow manure, and a couple brush fires, that we’d stack and burn in the garden area as well, plus the peas being planted, I’m beginning to seriously doubt the soil at this point.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
