Corn With 3 Stalks

[ninnymary]

And if you did come to Texas to go wreak havoc in my garden, I would fully expect you to stay for some good 'ol Texas BBQ and some of my Louisiana heritage gumbo, along with pitchers of ice cold sweet tea!

I think I'll go to Texas and wreck havoc in Bay's garden.

I decided to leave the suckers. Maybe they will make tiny baby ears of corn. If so, I'll pick and can for stir fry. Worth a shot, maybe, maybe not.

I have corn putting out 2-3 stalks. Should I cut off the extras or let them be?

Your pictures are identical to what I have. Therefore 10 years later I would like to know what is your conclusion? Yes that is watermelon adjacent. I planted my corn 18" apart. I planted 100% Organic from Seeds of Change,
Golden Bantam Sweet Corn. And now reading the package description it suggests planting them 10" spacing. Oh well live and learn.

It really doesn’t make any difference. Cut them off or leave them. The suckers won’t produce good ears. If you have animals that would like a green snack, cut them off and give them a treat.
