The CornTainers Are a Poppin (pics)

Finally finished getting all of the 8 CornTainers planted for the Season today. For the first harvest of the early Summer, I've planted Northern Xtra-Sweet Bicolor sweetcorn. I staggered the seedling starts by several days so I should get a pretty good harvest spread starting in about 60 days (seed package claims 67 DTM).

One "experiment" I am trying this year is to compare growth comparing black versus silver reflective moisture barriers.

I'm not expecting anything huge - - just want to see if there is any noticeable difference between the two.
