Two Zucchini plants in one, they will produce more using less space, called a super plant

Wonderful photos, I can almost smell the dirt.

King Dent corn, is that the one that grows so tall and has several ears on it? What we call field corn, for the hogs?

If so, it can be eaten, soak it well and bbq it, serve it with Tobasco sauce and it is good, I ate it in San Luis, Mexico, he was making it in the parking lot of the grocery store.

Or buy a good grinder and make your own cornmeal.

Of course, you could find a flat granite type rock and a smaller one and pound and grind it in that manner.

The 2 way squash is interesting, keep us posted on how it grows.

The only bean that grows for me here, is the asparagus or sometimes called the yard long bean.

I discovered that if I pinched off the end of the bean, instead of pinching the stem, they will keep flowering and bearing until it gets cold. The flowers are in the same cluster, not making new clusters, many people would pull the entire cluster off, it was an ‘by accident I discovered tricks”, which I then find everyone else has know for many years.

What are the 4 blue things with the corn? They make the photo come alive.
