Corn

Corn takes a large portion of your garden space. Corn also takes a lot of nutrients out of the soil. Corn is pollinated by wind, so corn should be planted in blocks versus long rows. Planting in blocks of at least four by four blocks allow the wind-blown pollen travel among the stalks.

Note: Botanically, corn is a grain, however it is legally recognized and sold as a vegetable in trade and in the culinary world.
How to Store Corn:
Leave the husks on the corn until ready to use. Refrigerate corn in the refrigerator for just one or two days.

Corn Nutrition:
Corn is low in fat, saturated fat free, sodium free,  cholesterol free, and a good source of vitamin C.

A serving size of corn is 1 medium ear (90 grams). One serving of corn contains 90 calories.
