My parents (especially my father) love okra, so that is for them really when they come to visit. We all love eggplants, so I hope that what I've planted can make a dent in our weekly consumption. I'm missing popcorn since I haven't been able to find a local source, and don't have the space to grow it myself. I have a friend in Oklahoma who is using the 3 sisters method with great results. .-= Mangochild´s last blog ..<a href="http://livinginalocalzone.wordpress.com/2009/06/18/teaching-food-systems/" rel="nofollow">Teaching Food Systems</a> =-.

Does the popcorn end up being red or pink or ? Awesome. Cool that you're doing a 3 sisters, I've never had the room to try that. I'm trying raspberries this year, after many years of longing for them. The plants look a bit stressed at the moment, though, since we are on day 29 of no rain and that's very weird for spring in Seattle! .-= Karen´s last blog ..<a href="http://greenwalks.wordpress.com/2009/06/17/evidence-of-things-unseen/" rel="nofollow">Evidence of Things Unseen</a> =-.

Probably 16 plants would give you enough to last all year if you weren't heavy popcorn eaters. We have so many people around here that grow good sweet corn I'd rather just buy that from someone else, unless I get super ambitious someday and have some extra garden space.

We are big popcorn fans in this house too. The best I've had was some local kernels that we bought in Amish country. The best popcorn we ever had! I can’t wait to see how your popcorn does!
