Well, the corn did not make it for dinner for the Forth of July festivities. But it did get to just starting to put out tassels.
Unlike the corn, the green beans were ready. This is the same variety as I planted last year. Actually, the seeds are from the same packet. The germination was still good and the plants are prolific.
I tried a few other interesting winter squash varieties. Since we like acorn squash, I found other varieties of it — this one is “Cream of the Crop”, a white variety.
Here is another of the acorn squash, “Celebration”, that I am also trying this year.
Most of the beds have filled in. Getting between and around some of them is getting difficult.
The fruit trees were all trimmed back a couple weeks ago. The idea is to prune in the summer to control the size of the tree. We want to keep the trees small enough to work without ladders. It seemed very drastic at the time, but the trees responded by putting out buds where they were cut. We are going to end up with much bushier trees after one year than if we had just waited for winter to prune.
