Thought I'd mention the progress of the giant corn, since it's a new thing.
The giant yellow corn is now racing to catch up with the standard yellow corn. Several stalks have actually equaled the height of the standard corn, while others are getting there. (Two varieties of giant yellow.) So, while 20 feet tall may not happen, looks like it may achieve some height.
Not quite sure about the blue corn yet. Many stalks coming up, about 18 inches tall so far. That is much faster than the standard yellow corn, which took twice as long to get that tall. So again, not sure what final height will be but looking optimistic at this point.
Harvested all the onions today. They were all tiny but one. Barely grew any larger than the sets I planted months ago. Oh, well.
Still haven't pulled the lettuce up but it's way beyond eating. I will leave some to flower and seed. Just been lazy, hit by the heat.
Looks like another large pumpkin plant died off today. Still finding and killing squash bugs, so it's looking like the vanilla was a failure. Going to try chopping up the onion stalks and spreading those around. Maybe some pepper. See if those do some good.
