Giant Vegetables

screening with corn?

16 years ago

This year we would like to grow some kind of super-tall variety of corn to help shade the house. I'd appreciate any recommendations on which variety to use. So far, I've read about Mexican June and Jala Maize. Sounds like Jala is taller? Where could I buy seeds for that?

Thanks for any advice,

Greg
