I honestly think we might have to start two patches, because I don't think the existing one will be big enough.
We plant a quarter to half-acre of sweet corn every year in the fields. Generally, we don't eat it all, but the raccoons do a number on it every year and our neighbors can have as much as they want.
I wish we had better luck with herbs. The only thing we've ever really gotten to take was sage, and you can't do much with that.
Honestly? We plant squash so we don't have to mow the hillside. I wonder if you grow it in a planter. That might work with a smaller squash, like a zucchini or summer squwash.
