Organic rather than transgenetic. Labor instead of chemicals. Diversity in place of monoculture.

About Me
- fred
- an ex- industrial worker ( the continued automation of jobs, condensing of ownership, plant closings, trade wars, and degradation of living standards here has rendered me a former industrial worker...now just part-time lumpen proletariat) and university student (everyone needs a hobby...my hobbies have evolved and, to keep things straight, i have left my formal student career behind for reasons that are too detailed to delve into here...continuing to be a student of life however and not adverse to learning...stasis is death ) sliding down the back side of middle age...a social loner with collectivist leanings...explain that.
how many seeds do you get per plant? 1/3 of corn? 1/5?
ReplyDeletethe season here is far too short to ever have the perennial strain produce seed outdoors...it was mid-october when these had just begun to flower, frost killed them back long before there was a chance of seed. i have had success in producing viable seed in the annual strain and when those plants reach full size they can generate thirty or forty seed ears, but with only a single row of seed per ear my estimate would be absolutely no more than a third of the seed a maize plant could produce...i have more annual teosinte in my back yard so we will see what this season brings.
