I grow 'Roma' tomatoes & 'Beefsteak' every year.This year,I'm going to try 'Rutgers'.I also used to grow'Golden Bantam' corn which I believe is a heirloom too.
All heirlooms, all great varieties.

I'm going to post my tentative to grow list here. I had it copied to send on another post and decided I would just let everyone see a rough idea of what I'll be growing. I do know of a few changes I will be making. Look it over and comment. If anyone desires I can send you a list of my inventory but quite a bit longer than this one. Just pm me. Jay

Eme,
It could be the water but only if the leaves are curling bad and then they will start to burn on the ends if there isn't enough water. I would have to know your soil and garden to even guess how ofter you should water. I usually only water once a week even in hot weather. Sometimes if it is above 100 every five. But I have real sand soil and put down up to 4" of mulch. Both help a lot. Corn is like any crop if you get to know it it will tell you what it needs. The leaves curling tell you it needs water. If they are yellow and not bright fertilizer. I would say you need to fertilize more. Work in lots of manure and compost. Chicken manure works great for corn. But I've only had horse the last several years. I will if I feel they need it sprinkle a side dress at the base and just work it in. Most years I don't have too. As I've got my soil in great shape. I worked 4" of loose alfalfa and around 2" of manure this year. I will side dress the corn with additional manure. Keep trying. We all learn every day and year. And failure makes us better. JMO. Jay
