The old saying about corn is "knee high by the Fourth of July". I have always taken this to be a general measurement of corn growth that tells you if you are going to get a good crop by the end of the season. I have also generally had my corn higher than my knee by this time in the season. This year is no exception. The day after the Fourth I had some plants that could literally look me in the eye they were so tall.
There are only a few that boast this height, but the others aren't far behind. As long as the wind doesn't flatten my corn before it produces ears I should get a decent harvest from these beds. I am excited to see what color kernels I produce from this variety called Glass Gem.
