Corn Planting

I planted corn today.  a lot of it!  I planted 3 separate beds of Riverspirit corn, which is a flour corn.  This is the description from Siskiyou Seeds, which is where I got it from:


Corn, Riverspirit Rainbow, Flour (90-110 days)   A stable & diverse gene pool of native flour corns including Anasazi, Hopi Blue, Hopi White and others that has been successfully grown on homesteads in OR & CA for decades.  Tall (7-10’) plants produce 1-2 large (10-20”) ears in every color and pattern imaginable.  Excellent for corn bread, masa, tamales and adding to any recipe that calls for wheat.  Incredibly beautiful – shucking it is like opening a present from the Earth!  SSF

Tomorrow I hope to plant potatoes, and the rest of the onion seedlings.  I really dislike growing/transplanting onions I've come to realize.  I'm really hoping to start having some success with some of the perennial onion types that I've planted so I can stop fussing with those tiny hair-like transplants!
