It's the middle of July and stuff is finally ready to pick and eat.
Durwood picked his first Early Girl tomato yesterday and ate it immediately. No time for a photo. These three are almost ready.
I spied a few Sweet 100s nearly ready to pick. I like a few of them in a bowl with a little Vidalia Onion Salad dressing on them.
I haven't been checking under the big beautiful leaves of the patty pan squash plant. Might have been a mistake. (see pint jar ring for scale)
The Stargazer Lilies I got last fall when the grocery store parking lot greenhouse was clearing out are blooming. They smell like a mixture of baby powder and honey. Intoxicating.
We have a lot of Monarch butterflies in our yard. Why? Because I learned which of the "weeds" along the lot line are milkweeds and let them grow so the butterflies come to visit.
A few years ago I planted a daisy plant. One. Now look at what I have. Good thing I like daisies.
Sunny Hill Farms corn is ready! I don't know if it's the soil they grow it in, the seed variety they buy, or the fact that they live a good, clean life, but SHF corn is the best.

Religious corn! I'm so jealous.
There must be some good, clean-living, God-fearing Kentuckians who grow good corn. You and Anne should make that your summer quest.
