The corn is growing well. The first block planted is now a lot taller than I am. It is a lot taller than I can reach. We are not growing it for ourselves, however. We are having a banner raccoon year, and they are having a record best time in the corn. There aren't even ears of corn yet, and they come marauding every night and tear down stalks and rip it up.
There doesn't seem to be any legal way to protect the corn from the raccoons without trapping and relocating them. That is an expensive and temporary solution.
The good news is that they don't seem to fancy any of the other vegetables growing. They get the corn, we get everything else.
