It all looks so good! I'm very jealous of the space you have. Corn no less?! No way I have room for that, talk about blocking the sun. I'm interested in your tomato staking technique. This is another problem I have never been able to solve. I believe goldenoakfarm drives a single stake in at planting, then ties the central stem to that as the plant grows. I think I'll try that one this year, if I get around to driving those stakes soon.
lol I am planting exactly four tomato plants. If all goes well, those four should produce way more than I need. And ONE summer squash. Have you heard the joke "Why do people in Vermont close their windows and lock their cars in the summer?"
And I would love to have even more space, haha! Especially with how big those tomato plants and the squash get. Perhaps if I practice a little more restraint I can fit in more variety. 😂
Sounds like a good idea with the tomatoes. I did this last year and it seemed to work well, so fingers crossed for this year!
I think there's some similar sentiments with the summer squashes down here, though thank goodness I have plenty of friends, family and clients chomping at the bit for their share since most don't grow any themselves. Though the year I had three zucchino rampicante plants I was hunting people down on the street trying to give those away. I believe I have a single plant of that variety growing this year, and that will be PLENTY of those.
