They grow a lot of corn in Indiana. Since I grew up there, I always feel obligated to plant corn in my British Columbia garden every year. What I grows in my garden is a lot different from what they grow in Indiana. Because BC's growing season is so much shorter, the varieties of corn I grow ends up shorter too. It is usually 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5m) in height. I was amazed to see the corn in Indiana was 9 to 10 feet (2.7 to 3m) high. The fields of corn around my mother's place look more like cane fields than what I remember the corn fields of my youth to look like.
