I’m definitely thinking of doing this in my front yard. I grew a bit of corn in it last year and wouldn’t mind expanding.

Put some pumpkins in between the corn while you're at it....harvest both at the same time. It's what my grandmother used to do

Oh nice, I’ll look into that! I wanted to grow some pumpkins next year already

i'm a little late to this but consider adding beans, and you can have a "three sisters" garden - a synergistic planting where each helps the others and benefits the soil
