Bloody Butcher

 

     Back when they were young, some Cornell agronomists developed a new breed of corn for South American native farmers to grow their pole beans on, rather than the squat mt. types they had been using.

The natives planted the super corn, which grew well in those altitudes but, as it turned out, could not hold up the corn.

That is why I planted a native corn most widely suggested for growing in the squash, bean, corn sister complex. It gets ten to twelve feet tall and is not pulled down by the weight of the bean vines. Mine, however, was pulled down by the weight of the RACOON, which was ungrateful of her, since we feed her along with the cats.

Well, DAMN the coon: I will plant this corn again next year.

This variety of Indian dent type corn does not have the gem like kernels of wildly different colors, but it is best for the job. The whole cob is the color of .... well, you decide what it is the color of, but it's name is "Bloody Butcher"
