As to my experiment with permaculture: I had reported that the corn seed I planted in the midst of my weeds was more robust than the ones I planted in rows.

Sadly, my theory has been dispelled. Now the corn in rows have overtaken the growth of their wilderness relative.

The squash plant is faring well, however, the deer ate the beans that were planted.

After a little more research, I learned corn needs to have neighbors, as those luscious ears are pollinated from the tassels of other corn plants by the wind.

Those mid-western corn farmers do know what they are doing.

I haven’t given up...
