Wow! I'm not sure how tall this was...the road sits higher than the field. It's got to be all the rain we've had. Can't wait for harvest...one of the most wonderful things about summer!
Corn, Corn, Corn. Remember that from "Secondhand Lions" It's so green. I had to laugh this morning when I saw three stalks of corn growing in my flowerpot by the Spider Plant. I think some corn from the bird seed got it and took root. One stalk is about 2 feet high and sturdy. I wonder????
Hi Betsy - I love corn .. and last year the crop down here didn't come to fruition ... and I do love it - I prefer to buy local, but bought some Spanish ones yesterday .. love it off the cob ... so good .. cheers and enjoy warmer weather .. Hilary
Well, I learned something here...the UK gets fresh produce brought up from Spain...just like we do from South America. Makes sense, of course. :) Yes, corn on the cob...it's wonderful and it says 'summer' like nothing else!
Love sweet corn! In the markets around here too, but none at the farmers stands yet. Tomatoes are just now trickling in that's not coming up from south GA. or FL. Enjoy your weekend!
I didn't' freeze much last year..seems like we gobbled up every bit as I brought it home! lol....I'd like to have some for the winter this time around!
Our tillable field has corn in it this year and its over our sons head already. That's 6'! The farmer should be happy!

I drive down that road a lot...any time I'm out shopping. We're surrounded by farms!

ReplyDeleteWell, that is interesting! I'm curious if you'll get an ear! That would be fun!
DeleteGreat photo! The field next to our yard is up to my shoulders now.
ReplyDeleteYou have a private, up close viewing, don't you!
Deletesmiles...i think you have it covered....just ate some off the cobb for dinner last night...
ReplyDeleteWe haven't had any yet! It's in the groceries, but we always wait for our favorite local farm to sell it. It's the best around!

That's about how our's usually is....I think it's liking all the extra rain we've had!
DeleteWow so high already!!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe it.
I know! Maybe the season will be a wee bit longer since it's early? I hope so!
DeleteThis photo is awesome, just makes me feel so Summery!
ReplyDeleteYep...nothing says summer like fields of corn!
DeleteMaybe knee high for a giant i suppose
ReplyDeleteAny normal person would get lost in those rows
soon they'll be up to an elephant's eye
Deleteand we'll eat some by and by!

We've been seeing corn in gardens and the corn here is tall too.
