RE: I did not Expect the early Flowering of Corn — Corn Plant is Safe!

Looking good @kennyroy. I grew up on a corn farm, and the main reason we detasseled the corn was to prevent cross-pollination with other nearby corn farms. If you're trying to save seed or keep an heirloom variety's DNA intact, it may be a good idea.

It can also allow the plant to focus more energy of fruit production. Glad you're still in control of urban garden.
