It looks great V! How much corn are you going to plant? I'm not sure I'll have room this year for corn. :(
Thanks to hubby, I bought 200 seeds this year. We'll see how they go. I'm doing suscession planting. 1 3 deep row for each mound every other week for 7 mounds. Should work out well, about 25 stalks per mound

Seven succession plantings of corn for you. I usually manage six. It is nice to have fresh corn from the garden throughout the summer. You'll really enjoy that.

It dried out here so I've spent two straight days in the garden working the soil, getting it ready. I understand what you mean by saying you're exhausted.

Looks very nice Vfem ! ;)
It sure does look like a lot of fun, anything to go out and work in the dirt can't be bad. What kind of corn are you planting V.?, Sweet corn or dent corn and what variety did you chose.

That exhausted me for sure. Nana is visiting this week so she's going to help me with the front bed and setting up the bamboo teepees. So maybe I'll get quite a bit more done, without the side effect of aching. Hehehehe :p
