This is a picture of me standing in front of our "Boody Butcher Dent Corn." It is an heirloom variety and I plan to use it to make cornmeal. We measured it at 12 feet tall! I bought the seed from www.rareseeds.com
If you are cutting up fresh onions, and the volatile oils that escape make your eyes burn and water, grab a fresh cucumber and munch on it while you are doing that. I promise it will help - a lot!
