Last month when I was in North Carolina, my husband told me about our “visitors” which turned out to be the Corn Family. If I could insert a link, now would be the time to do it, but I haven’t learned to do that yet. Pesky links! Anyway…
Here’s what they looked like when they arrived:

It’s been about a month–a very dry month too! However, take a look today! The Corn Family seems to be thriving.
There's gold in them thar hills
Here’s the garden that sits beside the raised beds. These are my potatoes–not just any potatoes. These are Yukon Gold potatoes. My favorite. Just past the potatoes but before the raised beds, there are some zinnia babies that will show up soon. There are also a few bell peppers in the picture. We’ve had trouble growing corn. The crows eat it. This year they are not bothering the corn. Maybe it’s all the cicadas keeping them interested and full.
Yikes! Could the crows be eating our honey bees instead? I hope not!! Whatever the reason, they have left the corn alone for the first time in 7 years.
Anyway, while I was gone last week, my husband received some visitors.
I’d like to introduce you to the Corn Family…there are a lot of them!

Hi everyone! I can’t quit posting! I have so much to say. And I’m also learning how to do something new. Maybe that is more the story. Here’s another flower for reading this post.

This is my raised bed garden. There are actually six 4 x 8 raised beds. The one in this picture has salad greens. We need to eat from them every day to keep them from bolting.
Salad anyone?
