My Growing Corn

If your a Midwesterner then you've probably heard the old saying..."knee high by the fourth of July". Well below is a photo of my corn...knee high? I guess you could say that. As a first timer for growing corn, I'm happy with the progress it is making so far. I'm growing the Burpee Super Sweet, Bi-Color Corn.

Last night I noticed an animal has pulled a few of the stalks out right by the roots. I'm guessing it's the pesky rabbit I catch down by the garden every now and then! But for not having the garden fenced in, I can't really complain too much.

My three year old son Tycen, can't get enough corn! He just loves it. In fact he has claimed the corn bed as his own. He waters it, he weeds it, and he asks me almost daily if he can eat it yet! Patience is a virtue...so we wait.

Have a Safe and Happy 4th of July!  Lisa
