Mines trying to make. I've kept it watered pretty good but now the storms started hittin last couple weeks. Had to stand a bunch of it back up the other day. Ya'll are a few weeks ahead of us. Usually don't get corn or maters til late July or August.

Hey Hobo,

Wish you were here in AR and I"d trade ya some peechees for some Kandy. Just harvested around
5 bu of red havens and the nectars are comin on strong. Actually have some nectars 3" wide. Our Bodacious sweet corn has been hammered by storms but is about 2 weeks from picken.

I like cinnamon home made ice cream. :O

Safety & blue skies,

DJ

That's some good looking corn! My first planting probably won't amount to much; it's 4 feet high & silking. We didn't have but 1-1/2" of rain here from mid-May to July 1st. Late corn might make, so send the shucking crew up here when you're done w/ them! My daughter & SIL are 45 miles away & getting them over here for anything that involves work is not easy!

Looks good Hobo, sorry about Ross and I, and yer ice cream!!!

Are yall getting any of this rain yet?

Whew, we have had more in the last 2 days, than we have had in the last 2 and a half months all put together.

I would figgure I have gotten 1.5"+ here in the last 2 days.

Dang wind got rough one time this AM, and laid some corn over, blew a small tree down at the edge of the field, blew the lattice off the pool deck, and I have been afraid to look too closely at the rest of the garden.

That is some fine looking corn. The DNR here in Georgia will ruin a man's fishing by looking thru binoculars for people enjoying an afternoon of fishing and drinking. It is a shame but it happens all the time. Seems like they would concentrate on the people that cause problems like speeders, and reckless people on jet skis.

Yes ,Dunk, our rain has been just as needed, so far. Just poured out 1.25" from my gauge this morning that fell just about dark Sunday. Still some showers on radar this morning in the area.
