You want tortillas, go for it. I want sweet corn. I'll give then 6 weeks
head start.

You're probably going to regret that. Greasy beans are strong runners that
will run to over 9 feet with many forks. I'm not trying to influence your
diet, just be helpful. It's virtually impossible to pick either the corn or
the beans from a tangled heap on the ground. Been there, done that once was
enough. Sweet corn is not strong enough to hold the beans upright. Best of
luck,

Well, it will be a first. I've had miserable luck getting beans to grow
on corn. About the most I expect from the corn is seed for next year.
I'm just kinda hoping that one of these years the Bantam corn is going
to acclimate to the north side of the hill P
