You can still plant corn. I planted my second planting of Kandy Korn last Tues. Last year we planted our meal corn the first week of June--so it wouldn't cross with our Kandy Korn--and it made a crop of well dried corn to grind.

Thank you. Has anyone had any success planting bi-color sweet corn. That is my favorite and what I want to plant. Also, would 4 rows be enough to get good polination?

Thanks

I planted my later corn last year on the 14th of May, them planted another planting ( in a different area)in june or july, but all the later corn was Early Sunglow. It will produce in about 60 days.

I dont have as good of a crop planting late because of the lack of rain and too much heat.

Larry, You aren't complaining about lack of rain right now, are you? Will it never stop?

I have been waiting for it to stop long enough for me to go empty the rain guage, and it hasn't even stopped that long. LOL I wasn't home much during the daylight hours yesterday so I didn't get it read and emptied. I told DH last night that I was really glad we had a deep rain guage.

Oops, I had a little break in the rainfall and ran out to empty 3 3/8 inches from it. That brings my total up to 6 inches for this storm and it is still raining. My MESONET station is reporting 7.29 inches for April and 14.11 for 2011.

Our weather radios are reporting flash flood warnings for NE Oklahoma, SE Kansas, SW Missouri and NW Arkansas with roads covered and bridges out. This is becoming a real mess and now I need to monitor lake levels in addition because of the new locations that are now flooding. Some eastern OK counties have had much more rain than I have.

About one third of my onions decided to lay down last night. Doesn't quite look like a crop circle but looks like a big animal slept on top of them. I think the ground is just getting too soft to hold them up.

For those of you living in the dry parts of Oklahoma this will sound like a fairy tale, but I start to worry about the trees falling. It is so damp here that trees grow huge but since they don't have to go searching for water, the root system doesn't go deep and strong. Sometimes, especially with wind, a big tree will just fall over and bring a root ball up with it. I have been watching one the last few weeks in my neighbors yard that moves more than the other trees when we have wind. It is a tree with a curve to it's trunk which makes it even more vulnerable, I think. A couple of years ago, I heard a big noise and looked out to see a tree in the same back yard resting on the garage/shop building of the neighbor on the other side of him.

We have had far too much rain and I will be happy for it to stop. Instead tho, I see lightening and hear thunder, and the rain continutes to fall.

Carol, I am ready to give the rest of my share to someone else. I think I have had less rain than you but I dont want anymore for a while. The radar shows we have more on the way so may as well pretend I like it.
