last night it rained nearly 3 inches
wow did we need that rain
it was so dry that this morning when we went out to pick, we hardly made ruts; and sure we got muddy, but not bad really.
this was an important rain.
it means the later crops will fill out nicely and better test wieghts on beans.
and it brings hope

Finally we are into sweetcorn season. The harvest began nearly 2 weeks later than normal.
today
we sold some really nice corn on Nicollet Mall; my niece and nephew helped; they were great.
this afternoon
my nephew dropped off an assortment of peppers and cherry tomatoes
my folks also left tomatoes on the counter
stir fry for dinner
pumpkin blossoms, kale, peppers, onion, garlic
wow this is a great time of year
