Probably. I got this big pot from Costco (under 50 bucks!) and wasn't sure yet what kind of dwarf tree I wanted to plant in it. I am thinking pomegranate so I can have two matching blue pots with poms. Too cute, I know. Unfortunately, I haven't found any of the dwarf variety for sale and am not ready to make another online plant purchase. But, I couldn't just leave the big lovely blue planter empty could I? I needed a one season veg or fruit that would be big/tall enough to look normal in the giant planter. Corn, obviously. I planted some corn kernels (under 2 bucks) I bought from Walmart and then a 6-pack of already sprouted corns from Armstrong's (under 4 dollars).
Corn, in a pot? Will it produce? I have no idea. Corn pollinates by wind, so I hope that having so many plants in one small space, that the pollen will make it to the right places. We will see. I know of folks that have planted corn in their backyard plots and only reap a couple heads of corn. I hope I get something because I have heard about just how amazing it is to eat corn picked fresh. They tend to lose their sweetness a mere minutes after picking.
These guys grew fast. They are about 3 feet tall already. I have no idea if they will make it to their full 7 feet height, but if they do, i will certainly update.
I also just stuck some green bean seeds in with the corn. I thought perhaps they will grow up the corn like a trellis. They only just sprouted yesterday.
