    Now I know why I like corn so much. After a morning of picking peas, hilling potatoes, checking the squash, and picking lettuce, I'm tired of bending over. With corn, you don't bend over--it's at eye level, or taller. Corn accommodates sore backs; corn is muscle friendly; and corn tastes great!
    Next year, more corn and fewer short vegetables!

    Jerry, if I could afford it, I'd do it! But, the spirit is willing, but the wallet is not. :'(

    I like the hanging basket idea, but with the number of plants we have, our place would look like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon!
