That being said, now that I’ve tried the corn I am really happy that I did. There is something fun and impressive about having a big ol’ stand of corn in a suburban backyard – and oh those few cobs of corn are going to be tasty!!

Aside from that, the corn stalks really seem to be working well as supports for the pole beans!

I’ve been avoiding corn for the last several years due to the fact that it is such a high-nitrogen crop. Maybe I’ll try a trench next year.
Thanks for the update.
