Nice harvest overall! I'm guessing that it was caused by lack of pollination since the rest of your corn did really well. Hey one out of all that you had isn't that bad, right? So how did that one corn plant come out? The one with the stripes? Ever produce anything?

So when you want something in bold text you can click the 'B' button at the top of a post form this should bring up this>> [/ b] and any text you want bold needs to be surrounded by this. I added a space between the / and the b just so the code will show. For example for a bold text: If I...

If there are no mounds I'm guessing voles, which look more like mice than the other two. They also feed on roots and plants. They will usually run between different burrows which might explain why they are getting to your beds surrounded by concrete? If there are mounds, then it's either moles...

Makes perfect sense IMO. Good luck with your pumpkins!

It looks like powdery mildew. Here is a post about the topic It should be controlled relatively easy. Even though the conditions haven't been humid the disease is contracted when soil splashes onto the plant which tends to happen easily during rainy weather or watering from above. Moons and...

Yes, I'm pretty certain that it is lack of pollination. If you are going to hand pollinate you can take a male flower and then use a small paint brush to take some pollen off from the inside (you should be able to see it) and then brush it onto the female flowers. That easy! You might want to...

Clipping pumpkins vines is usuall done to either save the fruit from a frost or end of the season so that all the energy is diverted to the fruit and not new growth or sometimes in an attempt to get larger fruits. IME, cutting the tips never really has given any sizable difference in fruit...

Essentially it could be any of the problems I listed above. Or others. Like Rosalind suggest and experienced pollination is a big issue with corn. What are the growing conditions you have?

If you uploaded them directly to the forum or to a third party hosting service (photobucket, etc.) then you copy the image url and paste it in between . You can get the brackets by clicking the Img button at top. Example: On Photobucket copy the Image code which is the third box...

We have 4 'short rows' of corn, we do plant ours about 6 inches apart and do go and shake our corn during tasseling and have never had an issue with pollination. Nonetheless, if you can plant wider over longer that would be better. The issue with small ears can be from poor pollination but can...

Welcome to the forum and good job on the garden in the city! So, let me ask you, if the garden is growing too fast and too much that you can keep up with eating, weeding, etc maybe you just planted too much? Either way, pick what you need when you need it. I don't necessarily adhere to the...

This is usually normal as the plant progresses the earlier leaves do tend to die back. Just make sure there is no damage near the base of the stem as this can be a sign of squash vine borer. Also, make sure they are getting plenty of water. At this stage if the water intake is restricted this...

My grandmother is famous for growing plants out of fruit seeds she just 'throws on the ground' and mango is one of those. She has about 4 mango trees growing in her backyard and to this day they still produce tons of fruits. Although, from seed they take about 6-8 years to begin to produce...

Well, I've never really used the product myself but essentially it's a more aesthetically pleasing hydroponics system that you could set up yourself and probably for less money. From what I can see, if you want to grow herbs or even some veggies indoors all year around because the weather or...
