First corn

I took few minutes after work to pick couple of things from the garden, and one of them was first few ears of corn. Wasn't sure if it would form at all since it was planted very late - in mid July, but looks like they formed. Not good pollination and ears are tiny but it's fresh and it's home grown. And since I'm not a big eater it's actually perfect size for me.  Also picked couple of small cantaloupes, handful of beans for dinner, one tiny sunflower that birds have been attacking non-stop, pitiful first fall radish and a handful of tomatoes.

there were some herbs that I needed for cooking so I sniped few lemon thyme twigs, rosemary, parsley, regular sage and pineapple sage.

  1. Love your garden spread. Summer was too hot and dry here for things to grow good...I love fresh garden veggies!

    1. It's been very hot and dry here too so I'm actually surprised that anything grew this year. I hope fall garden will be better.

  2. I don't grow corn but I think the corn season here is about done. Lucky you to be growing some! My one fall redish looks about like yours! I doubt if I get anymore! Nice you have a little bit of everything! Nancy

    1. I planted corn very late - after i harvested all purple potatoes from the bed in July, so I really wasn't expecting much out of it. It's nice to have it even if it's small - very sweet and tasty.
