I haven’t been in the Three Sisters Garden for two or more weeks. In fact, I’ve been completely ignoring it. The corn was done. The squash had powdery mildew. Bugs had destroyed the sunflowers. It was so overgrown, I had to shove my way… Continue Reading “LAST HURRAH?”
While I was out harvesting yet more zucchini today, I again wondered, “How do you know when corn is ready to harvest?” I’ve had this thought several times but never when I could look it up … and of course I would then forget… Continue Reading “THE CORN ACTUALLY GREW”
