When Europeans arrived in the Americas, the natives taught them how to grow corn. It was a long process! In April, grain was planted in rows that looked like little hills. In May, the hills were weeded and the grass was pulled away. By June, leaves and stems were growing and looking good. Underneath the leaves and close to the stem grew the corn. By fall, the corn was ripe and ready for their Thanksgiving dinner table. Believe it or not, we grow corn this way today!
