Watch you corn pop up in rows

Our corn crop is at at its prime! The coons have found it but not all of it. Hopefully the electric fence will detour them tonight and for the next few. Of course if they eat 3 acers of corn in one night, that would be a BIG tummy ache. Our blackberries are also turning black, if I can now just keep the deer and coons out of them, we will have had a successful summer. 2 weeks before school starts, where did the summer go? I will miss my helpers when they go back to school. I am busy with markets and there is a five am call in the morning to pick corn, so I am going to make this short. Stop by and get some corn, tomatoes or squash. That reminds me I got the best recipie for summer squash today, you sautee summer squash in butter, reduce the heat and add corn freshly cut from the cob(a great way to use that corn that is a little to old) simmer untill the corn is tender. You can add salt and pepper to taste. We loved it! My 5 and 7 year olds even ate the squash and asked for more. Simple but good. If you have any recipies that are simple but good and use fresh veggies I would love it if you would share. I grew up in a mashed potatoe, corn, greenbean, and tomatoes house so I am always looking for ways to add breat veggies to our menu. Have a great one!

Summer up date

The days are packed with sunshine and to may things to do. Kids are gone this week so maybe I can get a few extra things done. We are in the heat of harvesting. We are picking about 50 pounds of tomatoes every other day. Potatoes have been dug and are ready. Our green beans can't wait to join them. We should have green beans 'till frost. Our Lima beans are growing by leaps and bounds as are our pumpkins. Our third crop of radishes are about half way gone so it is time to plant some more. Our fall crop of lettuce and spinach will be going in the ground soon as well. Our fingerling potatoes are just about ready to dig. And now for the big three: Sweetcorn, it's silks are turning so about 2 weeks; Blackberries are red and big so any day they should be ready; Melons are just around the corner as well maybe a week to 10 days.
