What drought?

Japanese Hulless Corn
 I popped some but it came up really small - I could eat it - the kernels weren't hard at all.  I will try popping them a different way to see if that helps - I kind of just think that they will be small though.

Red and Yellow Potatoes

Cherokee Purple Tomatoes!!

Home!

Back from vacation at parent's house on Table Rock Lake.  Love it there.  Had tons of fun and was spoiled by Mom and Dad.  Our friends Allie and Jimu also got to come down for a weekend and had a blast.

Now back home and going to get back to work getting the house prepped to sell.

Oh also I have ripe tomatoes and they are yummy!  I picked my popcorn Japanese Hulless Popcorn and will be trying out some soon.  The rest of the garden suffered in the triple degree heat but I hope with a little break in the heat ... ya know in the 90s instead of 100s ... I can bring it back.

Corn

I only picked this one this morning and ate it this morning.  Very satisfying!  This corn - fresh from the stalk had a milkier taste to it - wonderful!  Also I think I left it on the stalk to long, there were some kernels that were already denting and harder than I would have liked.  This one was the driest looking of the sweet corn though, but also one of the largest.  I will pick the rest very soon.  Possibly take some down to Mom and Dad's.

I think when I get back I will try planting some more.  I think there is enough time in the season to grow another crop of sweet corn.

Wonderful thing, knowing that one kernel from one cob can grow a whole stalk.

I can't say for sure if this is a totally GMO free corn because it is from Burpee and Burpee is owned by Monsanto - which I didn't find out until a few weeks ago - but at least there are no added chemicals of insecticide, herbicide or fertilizers.
