So Sweet The Corn II

We've had another inch or so of rain and the corn has continued to grow.  Today we saw baby ears! The wind was blowing so hard that it was impossible to get a decent picture but I'll include what I did get.

I will try to add an "ear" picture later when there is less wind... Anyways, look, it's growing and doing very well!  Barring a hail storm or locusts, we are going to harvest some corn!

Peg has been in the country long enough to call this pump sprayer "the best thing since sliced bread," I don't know about that, but it is definitely convenient.  I was thinking today that this is the first time we've (Peg and me) grown sweet corn since our father did when we were little.  Back then, we lived in Michigan where the soils were rich and deep.  Our brother has had several successful corn crops over the years in Minnesota, so we're feeling good about the family connection.

Keep your fingers crossed that our good fortune continues!
