Corn, Ornamental, Montana Morado™

I moved to a new location and had to start a garden in sod horse paddock . So I put down black plastic to solarize the Bermuda grass.To avoid crows, I started the seeds indoors in plugs. All the seeds were very nice sized and germinated quickly. We had a very wet cold spring and the plants didn't get set in the ground until May 23. I cut a slit in the black plastic, gouged a hole in the hard earth and added a TBS of Steve Solomon fertilizer from Kis organics. Even though the roots were damaged from being in plugs too long, this corn took off like a rocket. The beautiful dark silks are starting to dry, no lodging and no pests, which is a miracle in AR. This corn has made me feel like a successful gardener for the first time in my 58 years and I haven't even harvested it yet! In contrast to the early pink corn I also planted, it's a huge winner. As a homesteader staple food and seed bank, I find Montana Moreno to be without a doubt the best investment in seed I've ever made.

My Morado has very soft flour starch and grinds easily into flour for famous cornbread or tortillas, or any other corn use. It was created because of the healing properties of the pigments. The anthocyanins (pigments) have very high antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer healing properties. This nutrient dense corn is a superfood. Eat it if you are sick, want to stay young, or if you get exposed to radiation. It heals damaged cells.
This SURVIVAL FOOD is grown dryland and has withstood years of drought without irrigation. The purpose is to feed people who live in difficult climates and those enduring global warming. It grows 4-5' tall for us dryland, without irrigation, and produces well. There is a lot of love in it! Recommended for food security seed bank. Blessings to humanity and the children of the future.
