Corn sprouting out of egg carton
Look at that corn sprout shooting up to the sky! OK, that might be a little much, lol. But take a look at that. After only a few days in a egg carton filled with soil we have one sprout growing. Not bad for a test run!
The others have yet to produce anything worth reporting. I think this corn seed packet that I bought might have been water logged for some reason. I was having a really hard time finding corn seeds in the local home improvement stores. I found one package under the seed rack and it felt a little wet. I didn't care since I had been looking for these seeds for sometime...anyway, it looks like only a few will make it to give us food.
