I had really high hopes for it...We have also recently had racoons eating the corn that is there and I think it was on its way to a decent size. I did find though that some of the beans grew a little too well and were taking over the slower growing corn - which I wasnt expecting. I do agree that is a lot of work when you can get fresh corn everywhere, but there's just something about doing it yourself. We had the same problems this year with our 3 sisters garden.

I'll have to give that a try. I'll do anything if it kills borers. I think I'm with you on the 3 sisters. They were practically giving corn away this year everywhere I went. People were showing up with bags of it in their trunk to share. True, it's not heirloom or organic, but it isn't three inches long, either, like mine was, *sigh*. gremlina–Hm.
