That's a 9-foot ladder, y'all. I'm growin' some exotic Peruvian corn this year as a bit of an experiment and it just keeps getting taller and taller and tasselin' and don't show much interest in makin' kernels. Go figure. Gettin close to 16 feet tall now. Making some "toes" aka anchor roots - up to 6 feet in the air. What do you think yer goin' to anchor to, Corn? The cucumbers are producing right along. the okra did exactly nothin' and grasshoppers have been munchin' on the tomatoes. So here's hoping that the too-tall corn stalks come through in the end. Fingers crossed!

Ironically, I don't like raw tomatoes - cooked or dried is alright...
The pumpkins are the stars of the show!
