I hope I'll have more him and his siblings up until and including Halloween, provided those sucking bugs we had one year don't kill the vine.<BR/><BR/>As for the corn, we've gotten several meals so far and should probably just pick the rest ... amazingly no raccoons or critters bothered it! And we know they're in the neighborhood (we had one for a living for few years in the maple). <BR/><BR/>I just wish the tomatoes would hurry up and ripen, because we haven't gotten our fill yet! Lots of green ones, but now that it's taken a very cool turn this week, I suppose they'll take their time...Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575688.post-89085825193386267652008-09-04T20:15:00.000-05:002008-09-04T20:15:00.000-05:00Punkenstein jr is awfully cute, IVG, but it's seei...Punkenstein jr is awfully cute, IVG, but it's seeing your corn that gets to me - we've never lived where we could grow corn and have it stay on the stalk without being eaten by some animal...guess we'll have to pay the store prices and enjoy a few ears!<BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575688.post-83075467728524166302008-09-01T22:30:00.000-05:002008-09-01T22:30:00.000-05:00Hi Gail!We had more fresh corn tonight and more to...Hi Gail!<BR/>We had more fresh corn tonight and more tomatoes, along with experimental burgers from the grill, lol. I tried mincing the onion in with the A1 but the burgers kept trying to come apart on the grill! We ended up with tasty seasoned loose meat sandwiches at the end. Tomorrow is BLT night, then the wait for more tomatoes to get ripe enough to eat ... I'm not done with them yet!<BR/><BR/>That's a purely tropical hibiscus so she'll have to come in or face certain death outside. But they love being outside in the summer months when they're at their best. Isn't she an eye popper? :-)Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575688.post-81799997547662136272008-09-01T17:09:00.000-05:002008-09-01T17:09:00.000-05:00Wow, fresh corn, sun warmed!

Can you tell it's dinner time, and I am hungry! Your menu from last night sounded wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Fabulous hot bloom on the hibiscus, is she a tender perennial in your garden? The pumpkins are wonderful...and I love that the compost pile always has the best surprises! Mine had a Black Widow very near it!<BR/><BR/>GailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.com
