Growing, Growing, Gone!

Earlier this spring we put in our first garden--despite my warnings to JT that any plant I touch with die--and thanks to JT's hard work and affection things are looking pretty good.

Well, except for the peas and pepper plan the neighborhood rabbits ate. Darn rabbits.

My mouth is just watering thinking about the delicious sweet corn we will have in another month.

Did you know, that the corn you buy at the store whether it be frozen, canned, fresh on the cob, or however you buy it is NOT the same corn that farmers grow in the fields? The majority of the corn you see farmers planting and harvesting is actually fed to animals. The kind of corn you buy in the store is sweet corn, the same kind we have in our garden, and is related to field corn, but not the same. You can find out more about corn from the Iowa Corn Growers.

The tomatoes are looking pretty good too. Here's hoping they taste as good as they look!
