The good news is that my 'Olotillo' corn plant did not blow over in the high winds we got. It has to be 18' and I just saw the beginnings of a tassle. So maybe 20' is in the future! A lone bright spot in a difficult season. Thank you Doug English!
I can't wait 'til next year! Some crops that have done well for me this year are tomatoes, lima's, and okra. The sweet potatoes have done well too, but we have a surplus of mice this year... so I am not sure how much of a crop will be left for me. I may have to go in early to harvest them, I had to do the same thing with the irish potatoes. (as they were being consumed rapidly by the voles.) It has been a warm year with several long stretches of drought. We just had some major showers on Sunday night, we probably got a couple of inches. A "million dollar rain".
