Grew some flour corn this year, among other things. First real garden I’ve ever done. Probably got 50-60 ears. Harvested in a hurry because we had a trip planned to visit family, was worried about a freeze. Threw it in some brown paper bags, densely, and left that way for the better part of a week. Thought it would be fine because this is a semi arid area, though the monsoon season has been consistent.
Came back to find mold on a lot of it, some heavily molded, the few ears on the top of the piles don’t have much but other than the top layer is definitely all over. Did I ruin my harvest? Photo of one of the heavy molded ears and one of the less moldy ones.
