We've been getting a couple of good ears (and several squatty ones from the back bed, where the flowering crape myrtles bashed the stalks in a heavy rain and blocked sunlight at a critical period) per day. I selected one stalk today to save seed. I tied some baling twine around it, and will let it mature and dry out. I know should save several for the sake of genetic diversity, but I don't have much room. I'll buy commercial seed for backup next year. Imagine what we could do with a sunny plot of more than 50 square feet?
