We needed lettuce for tonight's salad, so I went out and picked some. I also picked the first Early Girl tomato that I remember spotting. It is still obviously very green, but I want to see how long it takes to ripen if I bring it inside. The little sweetie tomato that I did the same thing with is now turning nice and red, though it has taken it's time to get there.

Corn and such

I just thought I'd throw up a few pictures of the current state of my corn. Quite a bit of it has tasseled, and I actually have a decent number of ears coming. I wasn't sure if they were going to produce or not, seeing as how late I got it planted. According to the seed package, the maturity date would be Dec. 20. I'd say it's on track for that. So far we haven't had any temps below about 40, so if that holds out for a few more weeks I should be ok. I also harvested a good amount more beans and peas a few days back. I think I'm going to make some of that famous Harder green bean soup!
