I did a simple experiment the other day and I got the results today! :D

    I know we are getting way out of corn season, but I still planted my corn seedlings in the back yard. So far they are growing quite well.

    Now we need to see what happens when the weather turns cold.

    Watch out - Monsanto might sue you.

    I waited about two weeks and the seedlings have stopped growing. By this time a normal corn plan would be about two feet tall with a nice stalk forming. The seedlings I planted grew into leafs about 6 - 8 inches tall and stopped growing and have no stalk.

    It's very obvious that the popcorn kernels were somehow deactivated. Probably hybrids.

    As Billy put it:
    > since it's a hybrid, the results can be unpredictable. That's where the deactivation is with commercially grown stuff. The children won't necessarily be like the parents

    Thank God, it's about popcorn.

    With that title, I thought you were going to say you were pregnant, Elsewhere.
