When eating Asian cuisine, you may wonder where those baby corn cobs come from. Well, they grow on regular corn plants, says the National Gardening Association, but are harvested while the ears are still tiny. Plant seeds 2-4 inches apart in rows 12 inches apart. Water and fertilize as you would sweet corn.
Harvest ears two to four days after silks appear.
Alfalfa tea is a special tonic that roses love, says the National Gardening Association. Fill with water and cover for several days, stirring occasionally. Apply about one gallon of tea per rose bush, three times a year, to keep the foliage and flowers lush and healthy. Dry times can be hard on trees, says the National Arborist Association. The first signs of summer's water stress in large shade trees is a flagging, or wilting, of foliage.
