Sweet Corn is Growing

We drove to Fillmore for groceries and to deposit a CSA check.

This is how my workbench looked this morning.

This is how it looked when I stopped working in the garage.  I am making a small table for the shredder.  I designed it to be built the same way as our antique milk safe.  It didn't work out that way.  I made mistake after mistake.  I made screw holes in the wrong place.  I screwed and glued the rails in the wrong place.  I had to take them apart.  As I left the garage, I finally got it figured out.

I did some serious cleaning in house two.  The above bench is ready for more plants.

I dug up a large beet last week.  It was in the house on top of the counter.  I cooked a little bit of it and it was pretty tough.  I planted back in house two, but in a raised bed.  I am hopping it will grow leaves and stems for harvesting.

I raked some leaves Saturday morning.

Here is a kohlrabi that was old and tough.  I gave it two the chickens.  They ate the leaves and the tender kohlrabi pups.

We have frequent visits by deer.  The lay down and watch me everywhere I go.

Deer in our yard Saturday morning.  I can walk around the yard and they just watch me.  If I walk towards them they get up and move.

I shredded a lot of papers this morning.  The shredder gets plugged up and I discovered over a couple of days, that if I pushed the button two have it run backwards, I can shred a lot of papers without it plugging.

The sweet corn is tasseling, there are some ears showing are barely showing, but the silk is along way off.
