Click image for larger viewBack on June 7 I posted a corn update. The corn plants were about 12 inches high then, 2 1/2 weeks ago.
Yesterday, we stopped to measure how tall the corn has gotten, because we're a week away from the 4th of July and the famous almaniacal adage that the corn is usually "knee-high by the 4th of July." It looked quite high -- waist-high for me, maybe?
Well, even with a week to go, the corn is to Don's hips (he is 6 feet tall). In mid-Michigan we've had the perfect combination of rain and sun this season to make all the flora prolific! More raspberries and blackberries ripening than ever. Lush, lush, lush!
If you live in Michigan (or not) click here to see how to find locally grown organic foods via MOFFA (Michigan Organic Food and Farm Alliance). I hope more and more farmers will realize what a market there is (I think!) for locally grown organic produce and start selling it!
