Small, shriveled and missing.

Yesterday I passed by a small batch of corn stalks with full grown corn on them. They were obviously healthy and full sized whereas mine was the size of half my hand. GUESS THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR TRYING TO PLANT A NON-MICROWAVABLE POPCORN FROM JOLLYTIME. My guess in the end was right, although I had hoped that it would grow actual corn. It seems only one of the stalks were pollinated while others did not develop past the actual core of the husk itself.

Only one managed to grow kernels to a respectable size (no fruit on the seeds) and I picked them off and cured them. Now my next experiment: Will they actually pop?! Muahahah!

In other news, I'm pretty glad I took a botany class. I try to apply my knowledge from it into everyday stuff. Like when Sara painted a MAMESHIBA face onto a lychee seed. She was disappointed that it was really hot and the seed shriveled up, but I explained it was just inhibition and that the seed can swell up again through osmosis. SEE ARE YOU PROUD OF ME SCHWARTZ? :33

~_____~ If I could redo the class, I would. Also PS; I have no pictures because the memory card for my camera is still missing.
