I planted my seed corn a few days ago, while the songbirds watched.
Not long after I came in, they started eating it. I planted again, and again.
This time I punched holes in clear disposable cups, and put those over them, as far as they'd go. But now I'm out of cups and out of seed, so a trip to town will be in order before I plant any more of them.
I also took some dried corn from the pantry and tossed out, hoping the birds would rather eat it off the top of the ground than dig it out of the garden.
Okay, do I sound desperate?! Do y'all have ideas for keeping the corn in the ground long enough to sprout? I've planted corn before, but never had this problem.
