We harvested our corn today..not a big crop by any means but everyone got to taste...and even the unpollinated ears served as a good visual for the kids as to how the corn grew. It takes a lot of space for what we got and maybe next year I can work on ideas to up our yield but the kids got a lot more than lunch out of it. And we had beans to go with it...we've actually been able to have beans twice a week for a couple of weeks and my husband and I have been eating them for dinner, too. So the beans are highly successful!
