    Growing corn

    I have grown sweet corn two years now. Even though I buy seeds for full size corn I get very little ears and the stalks are short.
    I live in Northeast Ohio, zone 6 I think.

    This year I put in three different types but got the same results with all of them. Is there a special kind of seed I should look for next year that will produce more?

    Is Indian corn harder or easier to grow? I would also like to try growing this.

    Corn is a heavy feeder and they also don't transplant well. Take a look at these sites to see if the info is helpful.

    When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
