Colorful Corn

This is some of the most fun corn to grow. It is called Painted Mountain and is a colorful dry corn. We have been harvesting and husking it. We will hang it to dry around the house and it makes a beautiful fall decoration. Later we will take the kernels off the cob then grind it into corn flour. It makes pretty and delicious cornbread.

Heirloom Tomatoes

Sweet Bouquet

This morning I made this little nosegay from flowers in the garden. I was experimenting to get ideas for my wedding flowers. I really like these flowers and colors. I am hoping to be able to get something similar.

Garden Journal Entry One

The garden is starting to grow... finally. It got a slow start. The weather got cool just after planting so the seeds didn't come up quickly. I got distracted for a few days and forgot to water my tomato starts. About half of them died. It has not been as successful as last years garden. But it is doing better now. The surviving tomatoes are doing well now and most of the seeds have sprouted. Now we just need to protect them from bugs and hopefully we will still get a good crop this year.
