Day 43 - Corn Spurt

So here we are, six weeks into the corn crop, and the corn is about 28" tall now.  We had more cool weather earlier this week, but today's temps and sunshine are helping along with all the fertilizer that I keep adding every other week. 

This is generally the height where the tasseles first start to pop through the center of the stalks.  I did not see any today, but I'm assuming we are close to that stage. 

We'll keep trucking on with the nitrogen until those tassels appear. Not much else to add.  Weeds have slowed down now that the corn is well established. Just a matter of keeping everything well watered as summer rolls in.
