Maize


These were repotted last week and grew quite a bit...
















Corn plant #5. Repotted Sunday, June 1st












Corn plant #6. Also planted Sunday, June 1st

Altogether I have 7 corn plants. Due to limited space, I've got 2 containers with 2 plants each in them which I anticipate to get really crowded and on Sunday I just planted 2 more plants,( which you see here) each in their very own 12 inch container. There is 1 plant on standby just in case one dies off. I've only killed one plant so far which was during the repotting process. I'm a little bit worried that I've repotted the plants too many times and somehow damaged their root system. We'll see.....












I'm psyched about everything I'm growing but I am super psyched about the corn. I'm scared thinking about what the plants will turn into and what kind of bugs they'll bring. I'll deal with that as time passes, I guess.
I'm also concerned about the lack of full sun. This big ass tree keeps it kinda shady in the backyard :

Yeah, and this is why I have to garden off my back steps. There's no grass in the backyard. It's all ivy and bushes and looks like a friggin jungle. I guess the landlord doesn't want to mess around with mowing:
