This mornings harvest! Well, minus a few yellow pears and cherry tomatos...

We're having corn on the cob for lunch. Yum...

YUM is right!!!!!

Great picture.

My corn and cantelopes aren’t ready yet, but I’m getting a mess of each from a friend. The corn goes in the freezer and I’m going to try making melon pickles.

Right now I’m waiting for the canner to come to a boil -— it takes forever.

Nicely done! We have 700 acres of Sweet Corn around us this year, but it’s about 3 feet high and nowhere near even tassle stage yet. It was the last field planted this season, but I think it’ll be the SWEETEST for us having to wait so long. ;)

We’re having a week of average (versus below normal) temps and lots of sun, so Im hoping to have more ripe tomatoes by the weekend. :)

Great looking corn!

I picked my meager yeild of Baldwin pears last weekend. Half are in the vegie bin in the fridge and the others are waiting to ripen up on a shelf.
