Zea mays, Maize
A stamp issued by Zimbabwe in 1985 depicting a woman crushing maize.
The photo is of two fresh corn cobs bought at the supermarket yesterday especially for this post
Although every Mediterranean vegetable garden usually has a row of maize growing down one side I could only find three references to maize in the MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN
One reference I used in an earlier post about this plant so today I am pointing you to issue number 6, Autumn1996
WHAT IS A MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN? By Judith MacDonald where she describes how
“ the countryside has been’ smoothed out’ –most of the strips and terraces obliterated” ”and there are now expansive rolling fields of wheat, sunflower and maize”
