How to Deal with Dead Bush with Suckers

It's happened to a lot of us. Bushes die due to colder than normal Winters, or maybe it was drought. Whatever it was sometimes it is not completely dead and the roots may send up new shoots. Don't waste money riping the so called "dead bush" out and buying a new one. Only do that if you are impatient for the new growth to fill in, or it really is dead and has no new growth.

1. Cut back all the dead branches.

2. Water the new suckers more often.

3 It will fill in during the rest of the summer.

Growing Corn 2018

I planted Corn back in early May after the last chance of frost I planted mostly Sweet Corn, but I planted some Indian Corn for Fall decor. You know the old saying you will have a good harvest if your corn is "Knee high by the fourth of July". Well, mine is "Waist high by the sixteenth of June"! I should excpect a fantastic harvest this year!
