August 8, 2015


Corn season is here.  We don't need nearly as much as we used to, but another generation or two is coming up to appreciate home grown frozen corn.  
We do it in several sessions, several small batches and one big one.  This year Aaron our son-in-law is helping and a couple times everyone is here.
I'm not doing a very good job of keeping track of how much we are getting from our crop this year.  It is about the same as last year.  
We've probably done about 23 dozen so far.  
It was raining this day so the husking was done in the garage instead of on the deck or patio.


Our spaghetti squash vines have all died.  I have no idea if you can eat it while it is white, or after it turns yellow on dead vines.  We need to do more research.  
Our cucumbers are dying too.  I have one and a half cucumber plants as of today.  
The okra is slowly coming into it's own.  We have one zucchini plant left and the yellow squash is threatening to take over the garden.  We've never had it do so well.  It is usually dead by now.
I wonder if the bugs preferred the spaghetti squash.
