Here are my two plants. Foreground is 235 Arnold, middle is 288 Buglio and then my Silver King Sweet Corn. Plants are just beautiful this year considering the damage they overcame. The leaves on the 235 Arnold, especially on the earliest secondaries are MASSIVE and tall. Some of the leaves on this plant are approaching shoulder high on me; it is a very vigorous plant. The 288 buglio has lower set and smaller leaves but another vigorous and health plant. The secondary vines on both plants are now so thick I'm worried about trying to stake down the new growth without breaking it. I have kept foliar feeding to a minimum, about 1x or 2x a week. I foliar fed a lot last year and thought that it just fueled the powdery mildew. My Foliar feed is now mixed in with a fungicide. Main vine growth has virtually stopped on both plants but secondary vine growth is still in full force. Very content with where things are at
