Well, I finally started pulling many of the weeds in my garden last week, and boy, there were ALOT of them! Once I had a small patch of earth to work with, I began thinking about what to plant in my garden. Hmmm...well I know that I want to try to go all organic this year, using only natural fertilizer, and compost materials. My garden is about a 20x15 spot...so it's not too big, nor too small. I was thinking about planting "Indian corn" which is some what similar to regular corn, only it has dark kernels that are a little hard...they're mostly used for decoration on tables for Thanksgiving and harvest time. Indian corn is my favorite type of corn because it is colorful, and is one of the easiest to grow. Many people ask why it is different colored? Actually nature intended corn to be those colors, to ward off certain fungi, and bugs, and also so it can be camouflaged too. The old wise tale is "Your corn should be knee-high at fourth of July." So I guess I'd better get to planting!

Wow, different colors to ward stuff off, that's pretty interesting honestly. Cool.
I wish I had your garden space! And are you thinking of King Corn?
