To ensure your late harvest will be available, plant some more corn now. Because the weather will be cooler, choose a place that gets lots of fall sunshine.
If at first you do, or don’t, succeed, plant, plant again.
Some vegetables and most fruits need to be planted once each season. When the harvest starts, only frost, insects or disease will stop it. Beans, squash, tomatoes, peppers — they just keep producing as long as you keep them picked.
But other things are one-hit wonders. Corn, in particular, produces its crop after a set number of days and then dies. The brown stalks make nice fall decorations, but they won’t produce any more corn. And because the prime tasty window on corn is about two weeks for each crop, you will need multiple plantings to keep fresh ears on your plate.
Here is a bit more about the amazing corn plant. Each developing kernel on an ear of corn has a string of silk attached to it. A grain of pollen sends its genetic material down through the center of the silk to the growing kernel. The process takes 24 hours.
Likely you know this already, but what many gardeners don’t know is how late sweet corn can be picked — my record is two days before Thanksgiving. And fresh corn on Halloween is an every year occurrence.
To ensure your late harvest will be available, plant some more corn now. Because the weather will be cooler, and the days will get shorter, choose a place that gets lots of September and October sunshine.
I just planted my third corn crop and will put in a fourth in two weeks, even though crop one is still two weeks away from harvest. If you don’t have a warm location for your late season corn, choose a faster-maturing variety. Some will be ready to eat in just over two months.
Finding space can be tough if you don’t plan ahead — or get lucky. I reserve areas under a bed of leaves for the late plantings. But you likely have a spot where lettuce or sweet peas have run their course that could be perfect for planting a fall corn patch.
A little organic fertilizer will help, and you will have to keep the seeds damp during hot weather by watering almost every day until the little green sprouts start to emerge.
It is a little early to get fall lettuce, beets or carrots to sprout, but if we get a cool cloudy spell in mid- or late August, try sowing some seeds. They will germinate better in cooler soil.
