My most productive regular plants are Lemon Boy and Early Girl. Black Krim and Health Kick Roma are usually the best producers, but I used the wrong kind of dirt this year. Most productive cherry tomatoes are Black Cherry and White Cherry, which is pretty normal. What is surprising is the plants don't show many signs of slowing down and the season should be over.

MrsJustice:
What variety of corn seed are you using? When I grew corn it was supposed to be 5 foot high and it topped out at 8 foot....bit too high for my maters that were west of them to get any sun for majority of the day...Do you stake your maters to the corn? As in companion plant or what...

Hello Vanaplaca
I grow Historical Golden Bantam Corn from Native Americans. They grow around 10 -12 feet, which I use around Vegetables for Years. Last Year they helped save many crops of my Heirloom Tomatoes from the Heat.

I never put them with my Heirloom Tomato Crops, until last year. I had so many Corn Plants; that I decided to place them near some of my Heirloom tomato plants. I did not even think we were going through Severe Climate Changes like we suffered last year: showing a true Blessing from God himself.
My Heirloom Tomatoes grow over 16 feet. So that was a Miracle. For the Tomato Plants that did not have this "Native Secret Shade", I had to work hard to save half the Crops. But, I learned a Great Lesson. Maybe the Native Americans who taught me this garden secret about the Corn wanted to use different sections around all Plants, Amen!!
