Well, we worried early in the summer about losing our corn to racoons, deer, rabbits, birds, hail, or wind,. Did I miss anything? This morning we finished picking the last of the crop which wasn't hit by any of the above. So our 8 - 30 foot rows of corn produced 70 - 1 cup bags frozen and 44 bottled pints. Plus what we've eaten or given away to neighbors...so our corn crop was blessed!!!! As are we! This is really good corn called ambrosia, a supersweet variety...mmmmmm good. We are just about to sit down to some BLT sandwiches. We won't have enough tomatoes to can, but they are sure good.David and Kris have been here this weekend and so they helped the old folks get the corn taken care of....thank you.We are thinking about a trip to Otto on Monday to see the newly cleared place.

Glad your garden is producing abundantly. We have yet to see if ours is going anywhere. The corn?? We got 4 ears.
We LOVED being in Byron with you both last weekend! It actually felt good to pick corn. And husk corn. And cut up corn. I didn't have a worry on my mind, so thank you! For the garden therapy! :)
I'm glad you had a good garden. Our corn was very baby sized. It was perfect for Matthew to eat, but it didn't really taste good, so we didn't eat it. Thanks for sharing the corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, and so forth with us on Sunday for dinner.
