gardening

you can see the actual corn now. It's considered a really healthy corn stalk if it produces 3 corns. Most of mine have 2 with a few stalks having an additional side stalk.
pollen is carried by wind, that's why you plant corn close together.
These are Everbearing strawberries, they produce a smaller berry than the Juneberry. But, what they lack in size they make up in production. These plants have been producing since February. They took a month off April, and have started back up in May. The Juneberry only produces in June, hence the name. Next year I plan on having both varietes.
I thought these tomato vines died during last winter. I was going to rip them out but decided to give them some time and see what they were going to do. Pruned, water, just tied up about a month ago. Manure fertlizer works!
FLowers
Golden Honey Melon, melons love the crap sand I have for soil.
Blue Corn, never had but hear it's good.
Pollen?
