Hi. this is my first post, although I have enjoyed the forums for almost two years.

I am growing Silver Queen, and despite my best efforts, I seem to be failing.

I removed two feet of clay from a 5X14 bed and filled it with amendments, topsoil, fertilizer, you name it! I then raised it another 6 inches.

My corn (I haven't yet figured out how to upload a picture...I am sure that would help) is a beautiful dark green, and spaced about 14 inches apart.

They are about 6 weeks old, and 16 inches high. When I peeked down into it, I saw the beginning of a tassel! I cannot imagine the plants growing to 6 feet when they are beginning to tassel at such a height (but what do I know?)

Maybe they are too close, maybe I should have removed the off shoots that seem to be as strong as the main plants, I have no idea...my saving grace is that I have been planting every two weeks, so anything I may have done wrong, I can stop, and hopefully get some production from the other plants.

Can any one offer any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

Matthew
