"The corn is as high as an elephant's eye.....




.........can't you just taste it's buttered sweetness. We're hoping to harvest it before the deer find it. We are not having good luck with our tomatoes. First the blight hit them for a second year in a row. Second, Basil watches them and just as they turn red, he eats them! So we're picking them in the pink and letting them ripen in the house. Cockers love tomatoes and eat them like candy. We do have two huge patio bushes planted and flip the ripe ones over the fence in waiting mouths. Of course they're not spoiled!

Hi Finn,

You can say that again. I love tomatoes,too, but of course it has to have a little salt on it or I will spit it out!

Now I know why the cocker kids are always picking my tomatoes! They love the green beans too. Tucker eats them like candy. He can pick a row faster than I can,
