Official Start Of Summer

The official start of summer is just around the corner and you can tell by the weather today.  Hot, hot, hot and humid.

Remember the corn that was two feet tall on May 19th...well look at it now.  It is already six feet tall and setting ears.





Looks like we might have fresh corn on the cob in time for the 4th.    Corn is probably the only crop that can take 'hot' manure and it sure does help it grow!

There are plenty of other starting to take off.  The tomatoes are setting fruit too and it's so hard to be patient.  I can almost taste that first BLT of the summer...  Hopefully we'll have some of those in time for the holiday as well.   Enjoy the photos from around the farm!
