Me and the corn 2023


 Here is a photo of me and this year's corn.  I am standing in front of our patch of "Bloody Butcher" flour corn. We estimate it is more than 12 feet tall! Over on the right you can see the bi-color sweet corn, which we are currently enjoying. The Bloody Butcher corn is what I use for cornmeal now. It's very good to eat and if nothing else, it's amazing to grow!  No one has ever said anything to us about it, but I really wonder what the neighbors think. :)  To my right is "Sammy", our sweet old Staffordshire terrier. In front of me are the sweet potato vines.  The garden is a jungle right now. I love this time of year.
