MONDAY MUSINGS:KNEE HIGH BY THE FOURTH OF JULY

With all that rain and heat we've had you've heard me complaining a lot about how fast and tall the weeds are growing. Some serious weed whacking besides extra mowing has been necessary. 

We don't have much lawn, much less it being manicured. The once rock paths and mulched areas were getting sparser as ground cover plants and native plants were even smothering desired plants.   After a good week of constant weeding and mulching some semblance is returning to the front garden bed. It's not done but look there's progress.

Knee high by the Fourth of July are less but weeds weren't what that old farmers's saying was referring to as it was used to predict the corn crop yield. Well, if that's true, it looks like we are going to have a bumper corn crop! 

Natureman proudly stands by our corn which we weren't even sure was going to germinate since it was old seed. That quarantine prevented our annual seed purchases so we just used up leftover seed from years past. No bicolor corn this year, our favorite. :( 

We're just thrilled to have a crop.


And if we can beat the raccoons to the corn, we should be corn rich for the year...
