Had a bad windstorm a few nights ago that laid down our five acres or so of sweet corn. But it’s almost all stood back up now. It’ll be fine. Should have our first ears within a couple of days now.

Eating new potatoes, and fresh tomatoes and peppers, and onions, and broccoli, and this and that.

Can’t beat it!

Well, good news that the corn is back up. We are eating endive and potatoes, and onions. Have had a few Green beans, and canned some dilly green beans.

No tomatoes yet waiting impatiently for those. Corn is doing pretty well - still have quite a bit in freezer from last year, so that’s fine.

I truly love eating what we have grown, and it’s so neat to just run out and harvest something fresh for a quick lunch salad or whatever.
