Farmer John

So I have shared with you all in the past that we have a garden, of sorts.
The rain in this region is LACKING!! But we do have a little corn, cantaloupe, tomatoes, red and green peppers and strawberries. Today I added a row of corn so we can keep corn coming in for a while. Here are a few pictures of what I have planted.
Corn and Cantaloupe

Cantaloupe. Kids will love it.


Tomatoes. First of the season. Honestly, I only want the tomatoes so I can make fresh salsa.

And this is how the corn starts out. We purchase our corn at the local growers store. It is red because it is covered with stuff to keep it healthy and the bugs off. Other than that it is dried up corn.

The area Farmer's plant a lot of corn, soy beans, cabbage, potatoes, and wheat which it being harvested now. After the fields are worked over, the beans will go in.
Here's hoping we get some good rain soon!! We need it!!

Try shopping at your local farmer's market for fresh grown fruits and veggies.
