Hi greeneyes… we are having phenomenal weather here in Benderville and the garden is on auto pilot for the most part. I picked the first 8 ears of Revelation sweet corn this morning for my daughter and her husband to take camping. It was 2 or 3 days early but we will have lots and lots of it. I asked Lady Bender if she was ready to make corn meal and she said she would make a chowder and freeze it if it came to that. We will pick another gallon or more of strawberries tomorrow. and wish I had kept score this year. The yukon gold potatoes are not very productive but the spuds are huge and make great bakers and boilers. More news at 11...
I will be grateful for the meals I've had out of the garden, because I needed them at the time... but still, it would be nice not to fight for a few mouthfuls of food.

I like those yukon gold potatoes. Haven’t ever grown any. We are overdue on digging our potatoes, but Hubby keeps saying they will last a while longer in the ground.
We found a couple more ears of corn today, but I still have several ears that I cooked a day or so ago. I am thinking about going ahead and making a pasta premivera with corn instead of peas to make sure and use up what’s cooked.
