[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care if its tacky or not, but why grow corn? It is really cheap to buy it. Grow something else. Or better yet, stop eating corn.[/quote]

A) freshly picked corn is superior to anything you buy
B) it's really cool to watch your plants grow from seed
C) it's educational
[b]D) corn isn't cheap but seeds are![/b]
E) you can make Halloween/Thanksgiving decorations from the stalks and ears
F) if you grow popcorn, it's even more fun than sweet corn.[/quote]

my dad in southern md grows a garden. since we're all grown up and left home its gotten bigger and extended beyond a typical garden into the front yard. its totally acceptable there. such a rural area still for the most part.

he says its cheaper actually to just buy corn than to grow it.[/quote]

It's only more expensive when you're buying all those gardening gadgets.  We spend less than $100/year on seeds and fertilizer.  Netting is a one time purchase and we re-use it.  Even then, $50 will buy a lot of netting.[/quote]
