UNTIL...I walked between the duck pen and the corn and a HUGE red racer slithered quickly in front of me, across the pathway, and into the corn. The corn is SO thick that it's very hard to get to a snake once it gets in there. Yuck.
I did get a nice little piece of the Early Sunglow corn...not quite there, but almost. There won't be lots, as that's the area the dogs damaged the most. But about a week and a half out, the bodacious should be...well...bodacious! The carrots are yummy...baby carrots, mostly. If you want to keep small children busy in a garden, plant LOTS of radishes and baby carrots!
The snap peas are just starting to produce, and the bush beans have a few flowers. Looks like the pole beans are nearly ready to flower, too.
And for a tasty treat, try grilled zucchini/summer squash. Split in half, brushed with olive oil and a bit of garlic...lightly grilled...AWESOME. Especially my yellow scalloped squash!
Loving the flavors out there!
Blessings from the ranch! |
