Title: Cornfield
Post by: Mrs Ava on July 20, 2004, 18:27:22
Here is my cornfield with various squashes beneath. (http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RQDzAnwU!trQ8OkaWzKvQSroV1pyRZk3XBlHLHOOPAX!!6K!SfA!rRfUt4gFM5HYQxpHnEdcs1QANGL5hdgwIm5eQSu8n!c!VTxYrGDV8q0/cornfield.jpg?dc=4675481391858745024)

They are all reaching a good height now and most have flowers coming out of the top.

Hi Ej
You should get a good crop out of that!
We are trying to grow ornamental corn this year as part of our tropical border. They are only about a foot tall so far, but I live in hope!

EJ they look great. Mine are still very small as I sowed late so I hope I get enough time in the season for a crop, they are baby sweetcorns so hopefully they will take less time to mature.

I was reading Mondy Don's book today and noticed that he also grows squash (courgette) under his corn plants. I was surprised as I thought it would be too shady for them there. I am obviously wrong though, it works for him and your corn and squash seem to be growing well.
