As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
This is what I call filler.
The vermin of satan ate my heirloom corn that I was keeping as a safety measure in Rustler, a white corn, which first appeared in American packets in the 1880's out of Minnesota. It predated to the Indians of North Dakota, however many years. It was Oscar Will who reintroduced this variety in the 1940's to Americans, and simply due to the market preference for yellow corn, Rustler faded.
There are two really good corns out there in Rustler which is white and Northwestern which is red, that will out perform most yellow corns. They are both short season corns of 85 days, but for dry conditions and stress, they simply produce food with quantity and necessity, so you do not starve.
They are both dent corns and not flint corns.
This is going to be a short journal of the Rustler.
I had a small patch open in the garden A horrid plot where the old man had a cinder pile, yes cinders from a coal plant and it is rock hard and is in need of more than a rototiller to resurrect it.
I planted this on June 17th. Watered it, watered it again, and it rained on it, just as it was emerging on the 22nd. We had hot dry weather. This photo is day 2 of it emerging on June 24th.
This is really too late in the brier. Corn here should be planted from the 18th to the 25th of May, when it is 100 day corn as that is about our entire growing season. I remember as a child it freezing on Labor Day weekend in September. Since HAARP and drought weather, we can go from mid September to even the end of October before we get a killing freeze or frost. It just depends, and when I have an 85 day corn in Rustler, that mature date is September 15th. That is not optimum, but I have factors in this drought cycle of higher heat so the index units will hasten the growth to maturity up to a point.
TL was surprised as we weeded the garden on the 22nd in the morning, it rained around 11 AM and in checking the garden at 5 PM, you could distinctly see all the baby corn having come up. It was growing fast due to high humidity and heat.
Corn in most northern locations must be knee high by the 4th of July. As I type that, it means I have 10 days for God to get his to knee high. As of this typing, the HAARP cold sink which will make rain in the Illinois Midwest is creeping down upon us, meaning it will be in the 70's for a few days. That is not corn growing weather. The corn will just grow slower which is not what I want in trying to hurry things along.
The next post on this will probably be the shooting stage if I have time. Corn sends out a spike out of the top, about a week before the tassel appears. Then the silk emerges with the baby corn cob inside. Fertilized it produces corn kernels then.
I'm interested in tracking this corn in how it will mature. I know in "Normal" years this rustler in a bad dry spot, still produced, and was finished in the last part of August, even with an early June planting.
The 14 day forecast via HAARP looks high 70's to low 80's. That is HAARP driving rain into the Midwest for Chinese soybean and corn sales. It should be 80's to low 90's in this period. That is what I requre. Then again in mice and men, this drought cycle has been showing that it makes it warmer than what the AI projections are.
So that is Baby Rustler. God bless it and keep it from all evil in Jesus Name Amen and Amen. One ear will provide the seed for a large plot. That is the plan in this, to restore the corn which the vermin almost wiped out and to allow me to get things ready for more land God is going to provide to me, for when frankenfood genetics do not have any seeds to plant due to a breakdown in society.
I can really haul ass on the corn I have. It is all 85 to 95 days. It will catch and beat all these hybrids in the 100 to 110 day category, when planted on time. I try to have mine pollinate when the hybrids are done. I think this year I'm going to be good in the yellow corn is about ready to spike and is past knee high due to the high heat on June 24th.
This garden performs a great deal better with JYG's roto tillers. A Vibrashank would haul as on it to make it really obey. You have to break up the soil and break it up so the roots can penetrate deep for wetter ground. It might not have been Christian, but I burst out laughing with TL yesterday as a neighbor's garden looks like something out of an Arizona Hopi corn patch. It was not lush like our God blessed garden, and had more dirt than plants. They spray water......that wastes water. Our garden I trench water to concentrate the water and I start out with snow to soak in to raise the subsoil water. I water the livestock next to this plot, so when the tank overflows, it runs into the garden. By the Holy Ghost I do plan this stuff out so nothing is wasted and it all works together. That is why our garden produces on less care, less water and under heat stress, compared to other peoples.
Rustler will have to work for it a bit more, but it is up to it, as long as I get the heat index prevailing and not have autumn weather all summer again, which HAARP did for the past years, which sucks.
The Lame Cherry is giving you life. I'm teaching you how to survive, so pay attention to the lessons before the internet is no longer a resource.
