Our garden is coming along pretty well. We may have bit off a little more than we can chew this year though (literally in some cases). We’re learning some hard lessons about the farming life. Sadly our sweet corn, which looked to be so promising a few weeks ago, has been robbed of it’s precious nitrogen due to the neglect and ignorance of it’s proud planters. Apparently it likes to be planted a little deeper and doesn’t do well with weeds. After some advise from a local farmer, we spent a couple hours getting all of those out the other night, then fertilized, only to find that the storm that came threw tonight did quite a number on our sweet baby sweet corn. Phil found it all blown over. Below is how he came home tonight after an attempt to replant some of it.
All is not gloom and doom though. Our lettuce and spinach plants have been very good to us! Too good I think. We find we can only eat 3 salads a day, sometimes 4. More than that just isn’t a great idea. We’ve had to give some away. Our tummies and refrigerator only hold so much.
