Perhaps if I wasn't so hearing impaired, these are the days I might hear the corn grow, After all the good moisture these warm days and nights facilitate corn growth. "Shading the rows" is the idea that the corn canopy shades the ground between the rows. This serves to inhibit the germination of weeds. Modern farmers plant corn with less space between rows than pseudo farmers like I. My old planter spaces row 36" apart, wide enough for a horse to walk. Consequently my corn does not shade the rows very quickly. Another week and perhaps my corn will shade the rows.
The foregoing paragraph is indicative of the minimal thought that occupies this blogger! 😁
