82. I've tried growing corn several times of late -

I wanted to grow the 'glass gem' corn. But something kept coming along and eating the young shoots, or, if I caged the corn in until the small ears were forming, came along and ate the ears and gnawed through the stalks. I'd have to keep them entirely caged the entire time it's growing, I guess.
