Well we got our new cobs planted this evening. They should be ready for harvest late October to the middle of November. Might have enough for some cobfoolery.  |

I have 23 seeds planted. If I get half I'll be in good shape.
Now for the next few months will have to water and feed them this desert can get a little dry in the summer. Also last night was the first night of a full moon.
Will have to come up with a couple of designs for the contest. Thinking about trying my hand at a Cutty. And might pull out the wood lathe to make a group 8 reverse calabash depending on the cob size.

I assume those are the same Corn seed that Missuri Meerschaum uses? Either way that is really neat.

My seeds won't go in for about another 2 weeks. Soil temp is still too low but I just picked up some Calcium Nitrate in anticipation. Corn benefits greatly from a split application of Nitrogen.

Update: after seeds started to grow I found I only planted 18 seeds. As things look now I will have 15 plants and have no idea of how many ears will come out. So things are one step closer to the new cobs.  |

How'd everyone's cobs turn out? I have 18 in my basement, drying. I'll wait till spring to make a few and then store the rest for a good year to get really dry.

Yup, due to the variable winds during the summer monsoons my crop got destroyed. Here at my place I can have winds from 20mph to 70mph gusts. And sometimes we get some good microbursts.

Darn! I sure wish we could find a reasonable source for cobs. I can't even find ear feed corn here anymore. I asked Missouri Meerschaum if I could buy unfinished bowls, they said 'sure'. Thirty bucks each! I can buy 10 reject pipes for 33. Sigh... I want to make some Falcon bowls and I think I will just buy 10 more reject MM pipes, cut them off and make hardwood plugs for the bottom section.

Did you try contacting Aristocob?
