| Ed, I understand what you are saying. His question was whether to pull or not to pull and I stated what I do. As I haven't ever pulled suckers I could not say whether it helps or not. Your point of trying both ways is a good one. Only way you will learn is by trying. However, I thought your answer was directed at me & not directed at pbutler.
My intentions were not to say to overplant. It just a matter of having extra space that we plant too much sweet corn. WE both out both a corn & soybean plot, We plant sweet corn on the endrows so that when it plot day comes along in Aug the sweetcorn is gone & has been chopped off so people can see the individual varities u[ close. Many leave the endrows unplanted but I feel with the sweetcorn we are getting some use out of that space. We also have about 1/2ac between our houses that will eventually have a shed built on part of it. For now, instead of planting grass in that area & having to mow it we plant it to sweetcorn as well.
As for tomatoes, no need to worry about me overplanting them, I don't care for the things. One plant is 2 too many IMO :~))
BTW, no wheat here so no double crop. What wheat there is in this area (very little as none of the elevators want to mess with it) is at least a couple weeks away. When we did raise wheat it always seemed we were harvesting on July 4th.
Stop in if you ever get thru this area.
