Little Cobs

Our garden was hit with 70-80 mph winds on 7-16-12 and it wiped out our corn. With it completely ruined, Gary whacked it all down.  We pulled off a few of these little cobs and gave them to our girls.  The loved the treat. I can't help but think how healthy and delicious the corn would have been.  At least the hens got to enjoy some of it. 
The compost is really doing well, we have layers of brown and green as all of the reading suggests, watering it naturally or manually periodically as suggested.  We should have some really good material for the garden.

We are continually learning what works and what does not.  These little cobs were a lot more work than they should have been.  The squirrels dug up the first planting, so we restarted in cups on the deck until they were about 4'' high.  The work to plant all that stuff was backbreaking work.  Gary wanted a lot, so we planted a lot.  Oy.
