However, this ancient species was used to higher altitudes and colder weather originally. Plant corn in square blocks rather than rows for better pollination. Frost kills corn plants. Corn, or maize, teosinte wouldn’t exist as we know it if not for ancient humans who developed it from fields of ancient grain, saving big seeds and odd seeds until the wild grain became a cultivated staple food. Corn as we know it now was developed by humans over centuries from a grass called teosinte. (Most people think of corn as a vegetable, but it’s really a grain). Scientists believe that corn was developed by the native peoples living in central Mexico over 7,000 years ago, yet one of the oldest corns comes from the Incan Empire. The natives throughout North and South America eventually depended upon maize for most of their diet. Corn spread throughout the Americas and was discovered by explorers from Europe who knew nothing of this new grain. There are numerous varieties of corn nowadays (with a number for a name), many bred by Big-Agriculture scientists and specialty hybrids grown for sweetness and the ability to hold sweetness before its natural conversion into starch makes the corn more like dent corn and less like the sweet corn. Americans eat huge amounts of corn daily in all forms: in the livestock we eat that ate corn, fresh roasted, boiled, as corn starch added to everything, in chips and tortillas, canned, frozen, and especially as big volume corn sweeteners, like HFCS. Much of our American and even Mexican molecular body is made up of corn molecules. Most corn needs full sun and high nitrogen. Composted manure makes an excellent soil addition, as well as green cover crops like red clover, and animal-based amendments such as bone meal, blood meal, hoof meal and feather meal. Wood ashes are also helpful for blooming and ear development. Domestic Shipping: Ships First class in a padded envelope. USPS Priority mail available. I will combine shipping whenever possible.
