Corn shading cucumber
Sigh - I think I'm hoist on my own petard.
I planted cucumbers and corn together, thinking that
the cucumbers would twine around the corn stalks as they grew.
Instead -- and maybe because I planted too thickly -- the corn
is going gang busters, but is shading the cucumbers. Little cukes are
forming, but I am concerned about the perceived lack of sunshine.
So I have a BIG DECISION to make:
Do I move some of the corn to let more light in on the cukes?
Or do I move the cukes and figure out some other way of
training them up.
IOW, which is likely to be more upset by the transplanting?
