Yes, the corn did good. The cooler weather resulted in shorter ears and less pollination though. Maybe the short daylight hours too.
We'll not grow it through the winter again. I'll try a fall crop earlier in the season, or just grow in the spring. Traditional harvest time is May here. I was pushing the seasons as an experiment 😁
We put about 40 cups of corn in the freezer and ate about 3 weeks fresh.🌽
Are you zone 9 too?
