My new site was never published. Richard or his staff must have known that Daniel's site was still available. Thankfully, Daniel's Godless in the Garden still exists.

Terrific photo, Loam!

I'll try to remember to get some photos when the corn is a bit more progressed.

Rick is waiting for surgery to replace his defib/pacemaker implant & I need my other hip replaced, so the garden may have to take second place soon.

Patricia, thank you for the sweet corn info!   I will watch for those.  I may have one or two batches left to plant.  I plant about 25 seeds every 2 weeks to spread out the harvest.

Here are community garden plots at the Senior Center in my town, Vancouver WA.  A lot of theirs are ahead of mine.  I think Vancouver warms up earlier than my yard.  There must be over a hundred garden plots here

Canadian Early Supersweet Hybrid (SH2)

An extremely early ''supersweet'' variety developed for short season areas. Large 8-10" ears of very sweet kernels. Supersweets hold their flavour much longer than other varieties when picked.

I would love to know what variety sweet corn Rick is growing.  I’m growinf Trinity, Bodaceous, and a cool short season yellow I forget the name.  I have Tristar strawberries but havent tasted any yet.

You have to do what is best for your well being, no matter what.

Rick is trying shirt season corn this year, & he has strawberries in the greenhouse.

Love your new baby!

Thank you. Mutual.  Sorry I had to stay away. I think all is on track in life again.  The gardens are growing like crazy!

Pretty puppy!

Good job Randy.  Trees are wonderful.  

With 150 year history, I can see why you want to help keep the farm going.

While this group is primarily about out own personal gardens, I'm going to expand the size to our 120 acre organic vegetable farm.

I recently bought $4200 worth of trees: poplar, oaks, nuts, fruit, evergreens. They're for windbreaks, produce, and just plain looks (nothing nicer than a majestic oak tree).

Well, guess who's been planting them? Yep--yours truly, one at a time. They average about 2 feet tall. Yesterday, I watered them from a 300 gallon tank on a tractor. (No photos unfortunately. Maybe later.)

I don't imagine I'll live long enough to see the "fruits of my labor", but that's okay. I'm doing it for my kids and grandkids and the glory of a farm that's been in our family for over 150 years.
