Here is a photo of John standing in his corn circle. I can hardly believe that the corn is now taller than he is!
This closeup shows the corn silk. Yesterday afternoon we counted 50 potential ears of corn as indicated by these patches of silk which must be pollinated by the tassels atop each stalk of corn. It's been windy lately, so we're hoping that the pollination process has been successful.
The sunflowers are doing well too. The tallest ones have reached the top of the block wall.
On close inspection, we can see that several of the sunflowers, like this one, are beginning to show signs of the flowers forming.
The cherry tomatoes (foreground) are looking good too. John is trying to decide whether to stake them as they get taller, or let them grow over the edge of the planter.
We're also watching the bush beans carefully since we noticed the small white flowers that began blooming on each plant. Hopefully, we'll soon see signs of green beans forming.
Here is Taz showing off his sleek summer coat. He had a trim at Hot Dogs and Cool Cats this past Saturday.
