And, no, I’m not talking about the kind on toes. Thankfully, I hear you saying. I’ve posted what seems like a bunch of posts on broke ribs and busted up knees and I’m tired of posting about mangled old body parts.
With that being clarified… I do have one quick thing to tell you before we go on to another stellar corn post…Tipper, over at Blind Pig And The Acorn, posted about every one who participated in the good corn day/ bad corn day test. She also writes about cooking, canning, freezing and enjoying the things she grows. She also will share with you Pap and Paul’s music. Good ole’ picking and singing and traditional Appalachian music. Tipper is working real hard at keeping the old traditions alive and she is a really good read, too.
Onward and upward…
Good day corn is on the right. I left the sprinkler in there for a size reference.
Good day corn..
50 inches plus 3 inches for the tape case = 53 inches.
Same song, second verse with the bad day corn…
25 inches plus 3 inches for the case = 28 inches. A bit more than half the size for the good day corn.
Tasseling on the good day corn.
And some more. Five of the six good day corn plants are tasseling out.
The one bad day corn, while much shorter is looking like the good day corn looked last Sunday.
The other two bad day corn plants. I don’t know if they are going to make at all.
So all you folks out there in the blogsphere… this is the end of the corn report for this week. I’ll have a green bean, blackeyed peas and tomato report coming up this week. And maybe a yarn or two, a flower report, a dog report but no body part reports.
I hope.
