tell me all your corn growing tips, and i will tell you mine

as a first tip i think we are going to want to get some seeds from a local farmer that successfully grows corn that turns out good to eat

then we are going to want to ask that farmer for tips as well

hoping our tomatoes show up too..I think we might have too much lettuce going on as well...plenty of zucchini and the squash blossoms are prime for stuffing

My GF is working at a summer camp right now and they are planting marigolds with the Kindergarten kids. It's cute.
