My corn was 30 to 36" tall on the 4th and yesterday it was 40 to 48" plus it is showing tassels and SILK ! It has to be the Dr Earth we used for the first time this year because the potatoes and annual flowers are just as robust. The Raspberries are about done but the Blueberries are now producing and we made a pledge to eat them right off the plants this year.

I am finding time to renovate about 20% of the Raspberry patch and a flower bed that had been consumed by Speedwell (Round-up kills it). First I cut off the old plants at the base, then spade, then add compost, steer manure and Dr Earth and water well. I must get out in the garden as we are having rare morning sunshine...
