Some of my corn is tasseling already! The back quad (5x5 ft square, roughly one plant per square foot, with Missouri Wonder beans and zucchini interplanted) is a bit stunted for lack of sun, but this is supposed to be a dwarf (5 ft high) variety of corn for close planting and less than optimal conditions, anyway. Golden Bantam is a 100-year-old variety of corn, and it produced pretty well last year despite the lack of full sun and the less than optimal growing conditions. It is getting fertilized at more proper intervals this year, and my husband trimmed the crepe myrtles back, so hopefully it can produce. I don't know whether the beans or zucchini will or not. though the zucchini is looking leafy. This picture is from June 19. Just wait until you see how much it has grown since!
