# Home Grown Corn

Sarah and I tried to grow corn this year in a [3 sisters](https://www.almanac.com/content/three-sisters-corn-bean-and-squash) setup. The squash was completely destroyed by [squash borers](https://www.almanac.com/pest/squash-vine-borer), and then the beans pulled all the corn over. At least we got a bunch of beans.

As the beans have begun to lose their leaves we found two tiny dent corn cobs.
