Here in Indiana alot of us grow sunflowers, tomatoes, watermeleons that are included in our weigh-off pumpkin competitions. So it would be nice to have a small forum....

Many of us have a limited amount of time to read messages so having them put into proper categories helps save people time. I will be moving some of the messages from the General board to this one.

I grew tall corn for a couple of years. As far as wind, the only thing that happened to mine was it got bent over from some thunderstorm winds, none broke. I gave mine a boost of nitrogen by topdressing when it was about 2 feet tall.,other than that it just got what drifted from the pumpkin spraying. When it is maturing, the trunks are like trees, almost needed a chainsaw to get rid of it but its fun adn did provide good mid-late season wind protection. The only drawback is getting rid of the stumps, I had to dig them out in the spring
