Plant Scarlet Runner Beans in the corn patch, one seed about every 4 corn plants, when the soil is warm. They climb the corn decorating the tops with bright red flowers. They only grow as tall as the corn in Wisconson, but I think they'll go a lot taller farther south.
They also fix nitrogen in the soil for the heavy corn and squash feeders, IF you inoculate your bean seed.
I read that you can eat the beans, but few people do, not the pods, just shell them. They're quite pretty.
