It’s happening!

The corn is starting to tassel

And the baby ears are forming!

So!  SOOO! Very exciting!

“Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the treehouse; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape; but most of all….summer was Dill.”  Harper Lee

  1. When I was a kid, my grandparents said you could hear the corn growing on a warm summer’s night. I always listened, but was never able to discern whether or not I could actually hear it.

    • True you can! It snaps and pops as it grows. I used to take my kids, and then the grandkids out into the middle of the field to let them listen. Very neat thing it is.
