This year, I made a tactical error in my garden planting scheme. I planted my corn behind beans I thought were bush beans, which usually have a low profile and don't grow upward. These beans, however, grew long and tall, and obscured my corn plants.
As I was clearing out my raised beds last weekend in preparation for soil replenishment, I cut my small corn and bound two bunches together with twine. I lashed them to my white picket fence out by Paradise Lake Road, and now they stand as Fall decorations to the entrance of our gravel driveway. I'm glad I found a use for them, even if they didn't bear any corn this year.
Next year, I've already changed location for the corn, and I anticipate that the full sun I've provided for them in my garden software plan for 2011 will be a huge improvement.
