   [Since we'll be offline, doing a couple off-normal-hours poasts to cover the gap]
   
   Have taken maybe half a dozen test ears. The couple that were really filled-out genuinely were some of the sweetest corn I've ever had w/o some kind of unnatural syrupy quality. They were however about as inconsistently finished as the stalks were to put out tassles - as you can see here, a fair number still had some filling out to do despite the completely browned-off silks.

     @Zealist sorry - Idk if I shared w/ you already but Hoss tool had a video on how they do a fert schedule that I've found pretty useful. Most crucial thing I'd say is that unless you have insanely fertile soil, expect to use some npk, like a 12-12-12 or something, and at a fairly high intensity.

     + Graf tells me we apparently won't need to be offline, so ignore that I guess.

     @IAMAL_PHARIUS @collatz Ever looked into these slightly underground greenhouses? They don’t require heat for most places and produce year round. You have to rent a backhoe though.

     @sargoysmuck @collatz The logic is similar to what we do here. Rammed earth thermal mass or insulation panels on the north. The expensive models have multiple layers of screens to use during different seasons. My uncle advice me to save money and just stagger the 2 possible plots on an incline.

     @collatz Its basically a big tent. Winter goes to about -20c max, so to get the trees to flower 3 months before season we keep the inside warm. A constant small wood fire channeled through stone tunnels under the soil will keep temps just above freezing. Only thing bad about this is you have to climb to the roof and clear the snow off.

     @collatz Thinking of buying this disused plot of land at auction. Been over 10 years since the SOE last used it as an out patient clinic. Local towns people been getting in there and doing a little gardening.

     @collatz This is the other plot i scouted. Its about the same size, but its fully leveled. Im thinking of building up a south facing incline, setting up a permanent green house for cherry trees like the 2nd pic

     @IAMAL_PHARIUS I think for corn this is the earliest year I've had, but I took a bit of a risk putting it in the ground when I did and just got lucky. Think I'd normally be in line w/ you.
