Year of the Patriot: Gardens
bjrogg:
Corn crop looks pretty good, but moisture is still a bit to high. I think when it quits raining maybe it will dry down quickly. I hope it doesn’t have to stay out long. It’s still plenty early but the corn around here all died prematurely from a host of diseases making its stalks weak. A big wind would not be welcome now. It would certainly knock a lot of corn over.
Corn was mature enough to fill out good. At least ours was. Not sure about the longer day varieties. Cobs are filled out to the tips.

Wheat is up nice. Had a nice sunset even though it was raining.

Most of my greens patch is doing well. My collard patch is a failure, collard seed is slow to germinate, we had so much rain that the crab grass got the jump on the patch and overtook the collard plants. The first frost will kill the crabgrass but it will be too late for the collards.
Pat B:
Eric, is that today's frost on the crabgrass in the last pic? We had 33 degrees this morning, no wind or breeze and no frost here on out property.
Eric Krewson:
No, just a heavy dew, early morning and about 45 degrees.
