With all the rain we've had so far this spring/summer all the gardens are way behind fro past years. But what you have is looking mighty good. Keep the info and updates growing our way :-{}
You are welcome and good luck. It was MHPGardener in this video "Field Corn, Sprawling Tomatoes, and White Feet" that mentioned mounding up. My corn isn't doing well. I am trying a new mix from Burpee for containers, had 10 of 12 seeds germinate. Last night I transplanted the four remaining plants. I might try to sow some seeds directly into the container
I am so far behind with my garden. I think it was MHPGardener that mentioned he mount up the dirt at the base of his corn to help beef them up. Looks good so far. I have just a few of my potatoes planted and coming along. I have seeds that I need to get in the pots now.
One thing to mention about the corn. Typically farmers plant their corn at depths of up to 2.5" as corn has better root structure when it's planted deep. Most seed packets typically say something like half an inch to a inch planting depth for corn which I've noticed is simply not enough. This may have been part of your issue with corn falling over.
It already looks like ill get better results, I was thinking the problem with them not growing from the sides is probably that the sides don't get enough sunlight. hopefully ill get a better result this year

Your garden looks good. Glad to see your vids again. Ever since YT changed its format I seem to miss a lot of my subscriber's posts.
It all looks great from my vantage point. I hope the potato box does phenomenal for you!
Looking good buddy. Got my fingers crossed!
