Checking in after racing to pick my ‘third’ round of corn. I cannot express the words of what it ‘feels’ like to outsmart the raccoons and bugs. This year has been for me the best in years of a corn harvest.

Now my green beans are a total different situation. I have NO clue what their ‘issue’ is but I have not had one pick-able green bean thus far.

I have finally picked my first ‘moon&stars’ watermelon and several cantaloupe. Put up thus far 4 batches of salsa and canned a few quartered tomatoes. Finally the ‘heat’ wave has receded back to Texas and we got a nice rain this morning.

I am tired and weary from the blasting heat of July and first week of August.

What did you do to outsmart the raccoons? My corn has baby kernels on it then the raccoons got in it. I still have some left but if I don't do something they will get the rest.
I asked a couple weeks ago about pumpkins, I just wasn't patient enough apparently. Who knew they would take over dang near the entire yard. If I have to wait till first frost to pick them they will be massive.


And just for fun, the sunflowers are blooming. I love this time of year.
