Corn is a wonderful plant to grow in the Summer, it needs warm weather,
full sun light, and 65-90 days to mature.
Plant it around the beginning of Summer Vacation and by the time School
starts again you'll have a beautiful crop of sweet, delicious corn.
After you have grown your corn try something a little different than just steaming or boiling it, like this Corn Apple Cobbler.
