CROPS: Some fast-growing corn

Two farmers were sitting at one of the picnic tables outside Landhope Sunday evening having coffee and a cigarette and discussing, of course, the weather. One of them seemed to be enormously proud of his corn. He said it was growing so rapidly that you could take a photograph of it in the evening, and then again the next morning, and you could actually see how much taller it was.
I would pretty much agree with him vis-à-vis the exuberance of the weeds in my garden.
