A few weeks ago we decorated our table for fall with some small gourds, some mini Indian popcorn saved from our 2008 garden, and fall leaves we collected. Owen couldn't keep his hands off any of it. We talked about how we saved the corn and could plant some again some time if we had a garden. Owen removed the items frequently to play, and I repeatedly replaced them gourds which soon got soft spots from wear and the corn which lost its kernels from being dropped, thrown, and generally bashed about.
Then, Owen decided to plant some alongside the begonias. I cautioned him that it might not grow.
Last week, we brought the plants in off the porch because the frost has come, and the corn is sprouting! We get very little light, so it will likely not fare well, but I also never expected it to sprout right on the cob in the dirt either.
