The corn is in full production. Renee has been picking corn every other day for the past week or two. She started of with 3 or 4 ears at a time, but Saturday she picked 84 ears! Most we shared with church, some we parboiled to freeze and the rest we ate.


Saturday’s crop of super sweet hybrid corn from Johnney’s Selected Seed Company. Actually this is more of
a yellow  corn.

Here are some pictures from around the farm’s garden:


This is a view looking east through our little corn field.


Red runner beans growing with the corn. We also planted different
types of summer squash. The “three sisters” (corn, beans and squash)
is a type of companion planting.


Another picture of the corn and the red runner beans.


Sunflowers!!!


Tomatoes


And blackberries.
