CORN: THE GIFT OF VENUS.

I planted the organic Incan blue corn as the as the atmosphere became more summer muggy. Amazing how fast it grew but the dampness of the climate gave birth to mold and with over watering it developed worms and didnt fruit. It did look great. People would stop their cars just to look at the plants. I planted it in the plot adjacent to the sweet yellow corn. I built up the sandy base soil the same way. I turned and sifted the soil to a depth of about a foot, removing all the debris and construction fill from it. I immidiatly added 2 wheelbarrow loads of pure refined compost to the plot to just begin the long process of bringing the earth to a fertility again. ( this made me secretly happy in my heart )To bring a sandy dry dead soil to a super-fertile worm flushed garden is a great thing, a spiritual thing. Next I built a soil mixture from the great aged compost that was courtesy of UPR. I of corse sifted out the soft textured iguana eggs and undigested shoe souls and wood chunks until the compost was a black and consistent. Then mixed 8 parts refined compost 2 parts refined sifted sand one part gyanyasa or chicken manure all turned thoroughly in our trusted wheel barrow. The gyanyasa was a great get by Manolo who is Suzie's domestic partner. Manolo is an Aries and a great can do Cuban guy. Silke told us of an old abandon chicken farm near her Organic farm so He and Eric drove up and returned with hundreds of pounds of this fantastic fertilizer.
In the Yellow corn plot I straight up enriched all the soil in the plot. I planted the yellow corn spaced at a foot apart and 2 seeds at 3 inches deep with a water trough around them. The sprouted instantly with 2 plants per hole. All the seeds sprouted so at about 4 inches I separated a few and replanted and left a few doubles to see the result.
The Incan plot I used the mixture to raise rows. I wanted to water at the roots and less frequent rather than from above as the yellow seemed to want less water and was getting a sticky white mild.
The corn gave me great joy as did the whole garden.
