Today I planted mammoth sunflower, sweet corn, snap beans and edamame. Two experiments for me and the corn this year. The first is that I am using seed that was packaged to be sold by11/11. Supposedly seed is good for out to three years, so I am curious about germination rates. I have a second set of seeds for this year, which I will sow toward the end of the school year as a second crop and to see which germinates better. The second experiment is with the sweet corn. We had great luck with popcorn and indian corn three years ago, so I am curious to see how this turns out.
I am also new to snap beans and edamame. The corn and edamame are in the 90 day range and the snap beans are 55 to 60 days. I plan on doing a second planting of snap beans in late July.
I always love the mammoth sunflowers. The are always very tall with big heads and lots of seeds. Yum. I hope to have a forest of them this year.
Tomorrow I hope to plant more of the ornamental sunflowers and some nasturtiums.
