Our own “community garden” corn was due for harvest this week. We took on the rain and thunderstorms and harvested a total of 35 quarts of corn, with 14 dozen left to eat. Not a bad year. We split that between 3 families to help supply our freezers for the winter. It’s always a fun time, 6 adults, 11 children, 90 degree heat, mosquitoes and humidity, a muddy yard due to torrential downpours…what more could one ask for???:) Seriously though, it was a good time.
Fyi, this is what a picture looks like when it’s pitch black outside and you adjust your ISO, light metering, and white balance enough to take a picture without your flash…grainy. Actually, the picture turned out half decent. These two little ones managed to grab corn out of the ice cold water, nibble away, drop it back in, reach in for another and so on…we caught them as you can see…red-handed.
Same picture…with my flash on:)
New piece of corn…
The adults enjoyed their share of corn while cutting.
Sneaking another one…
I must say that I’m glad it’s done, still harvesting beans, were able to harvest our first red potatoes, waiting on tomatoes to ripen, anxious for the sweet potatoes…all a part of gardening.
Yes, I am glad it's done!!! Now if only the tomatoes would get moving.
