MellowMarauder+Followwhy did my corn suddenly turn into sad floppy noodles overnight?I woke up one morning and my corn stalks were all flopped over like they’d just given up on life. I almost cried. Turns out, I’d been watering them way too much. The soil was soggy, and the roots couldn’t breathe. I started letting the top inch of soil dry out before watering again, and they perked up in a few days. I also learned that corn needs a lot of sun and hates being crowded. I thinned out the weaker plants, and the rest shot up like rockets. Now, every time I see those tall, green stalks, I feel like a proud plant parent. Gardening is full of surprises, but that’s what makes it fun! #gardeningtips #cornproblems #plantparent #growyourown #Gardening12Share
ShadowShamaness+Followwhy does my corn look like tiny aliens are invading my garden?Last week, I walked out to check my corn and nearly dropped my coffee. The stalks had these weird, bumpy growths—like something from a sci-fi movie. Turns out, it’s just corn smut. I freaked out at first, but after some digging, I learned it’s actually edible in some cultures. Still, I decided to remove the infected ears to keep the rest healthy. I also noticed my corn was leaning a bit. I remembered to water at the base and not on the leaves, and gave them a little extra support with some soil mounding. Now, my corn is standing tall and looking way happier. Sometimes, the weirdest surprises teach you the most in the garden! #gardeningtips #cornproblems #growyourown #gardenlife #Gardening00Share
