The weather this year has been brutal. Wind, excessive rain and now a freak snow storm in October. This puts an end to most of the garden this year. There are still a few cold weather plants that should survive but for the most part it the garden is done.

Our Corn

We Picked all of the ears of our corn. The results are pretty sad. Very few even had kernels and the ones that did were small and did not taste that good. I am glad have frozen corn and I think we will leave the corn growing to the professionals.
