RE: Another look at my 3 sisters corn patch for August 22, 2018

Very nice. My cherry tomato plants took quite the hit while I was in the UP a couple of weeks ago. We apparently didn't get any rain at all while I was gone. They are still producing a ton of fruit, but they are no where near as lush as they used to be. I have always found corn very difficult to grow, but yours looks very nice!

Thanks!
Yeah, a dry spell with this heat is hard on the tomato plants!
I think that it's easier to grow popcorn and flour corn than it is sweet corn. It just seems less prone to problems. It still takes a lot of water and nitrogen though.

That makes sense!
