Dinner from the garden
We had another dinner from the garden tonight. The corn stalks have been turning yellow and even the luscious corn I drive by every week on my way to the knitting group is drying up. So we harvested some of it.
Mmmmm…. What a success! 
Here’s Garrison enjoying the first bite of the freshest possible corn - we boiled water, then immediately harvested, shucked and cooked it. Only the yellowest cob on the right tasted good (but it was very good). The rest were chewy. We must have waited too long to harvest, even though the tassels weren’t as dark as they are on supermarket corn. Oh well, I apparently don’t have the touch for corn farming.
We also harvested the soybean crop, shown here on a map of the high school for scale.
The yield was more than I expected and it was the best edamame I’ve ever tasted, although the pods were smaller than what you’ll find elsewhere. What’s new? Freshness really matters when it comes to edamame. These were basically free. I used dried soybeans from the grocery store. Does it make a difference? I have no idea.
The pumpkins are starting to turn orange.
And the morning glories, now that they’re surrounded by prickly pumpkin leaves and are too tall for rabbits, are doing great. They blossom every morning in a variety of colors.
