Today I pulled the corn out of the ground which to my surprise was the size of a football. I went to cut the remaining stem off and by mistake cut into the top of the corn. The corn was solid and white and looked good but i wanted to know if I just killed it by cutting the top of the corn off?
If you only knew .....what you can get away with these plants.... this is cool because your doing it right now....you are learning.
