Just a quick update. The corn is doing very well. We'll see how it turns out. The corn is on average about 2 inches tall. I direct sowed 9 squash and 3 zucchini. 3 of the squash was butternut, 6 are crookneck, and the 3 zucchini are black beauty.
By the look of things, the pole beans will probably be direct sown next Saturday and that will complete my first three sisters garden.
The plan, as this huge amount of corn is ripe, is too obviously eat some with dinner but for the rest, I'm going to let it dry on the stalk and then store it whole. The best stalk of corn I will save for seed next year.
I may have gotten a little overzealous with the two grow bags!
Part of the plan with this garden is to also minimize having to buy seeds year-after-year. I also believe that genetically, the plants will adapt to the environment and be stronger in successive years.
