Indian flour corn is well over 7' tall, if not 8' and just now starting to tassel. Easiest corn I've ever grew, all I've done is weed it twice.
It doesn't like much water, you can see the shorter stalks are on the low side of the garden where it's wetter.
I looked and didn't see any ears starting to form yet so it's got a few more weeks to go before it comes into full pollination.
My sweet corn is done polinating. I'm just waiting on the ears to swell. Should be sometime next week and we should have fresh sweet corn
I got the battery for the electric fence good and charged. Right now my sweet corn is a racoons delight. My electric fence does a good job of keeping the racoons out.

I've got a mess to clean up. Strong thunderstorms rolled through last night and really did a number on the Indian flour corn this year is stand up the corn year - it's getting old real quick.

Oh man that stinks! It's been a while but one year we had so much wind that I pounded a stake at both ends of the corn rows and ran string down each side of the corn - kinda like a florida weave for tomatoes... helped a little. Hope you can get it back to vertical!
