After a cold start everything has grown very well. The corn was probably the best. Lots more to add, but I'll put the details in the appropriate threads. I have several to add as I get to post more. We don't sell yet, but may in the future. As far as taking care of things, I'm a workaholic. I...

Thanks. I'll check it out. I started everything in my garden from seed this year. 2 heirloom tomato varieties.

I have planted green beans after corn in previous years. This year, I got a late start and planted all full season corn, so I decided to get a head start on my main crop of beans. I planted my beans before I picked my corn. I just checked them earlier today. I'll be picking next week.

I'm a little late to this thread, and my corn is all done now, but I can show a couple pics. This was a really good year for my corn. I planted Silver Queen and Stowell's Evergreen sweet corn. I also planted some Rainbow Indian corn. The board in the pics is 8' long. The 1st pic is Silver...
