didn't fare so well. I didn't realize that popcorn would cross pollinate with corn , actually I thought about it when I planted it and was planning to read up about it , but forgot to. It did cross pollinate , most of the corn ears were small and didn't fill out well. I did manage to freeze about 60 descent sized ears.
I harvested a few ears of the Cherokee Long Ear popcorn to see how it did , it looks pretty good. I'm leaving most of it on the stalks to dry out , hope those garden critters leave it alone. Shadow has been confined to the dog lot each day , so he's not much help at chasing them away. He stole two guinea eggs from the nest and I'm afraid he'll upset their nesting. There were 4 deer out there in the garden yesterday , 1 buck , 2 does and a fawn. I didn't get a pic of the buck , he was over in what's left of the corn. I'm planning to let those small ears of corn dry out for the chickens , will need to figure out how to grind them up. I'll probably try the blender , anyone else ever tried to grind dry corn with a blender or is that a crazy idea (LOL)?

I love the deer photos with the corn stalks!!
Someone at the townhouse is
growing corn. They have the
right spot for it.
I love corn with butter, lime juice and hotsauce on it. Yum!!
Did Shadow eat the eggs?
God Bless You and Yours!!!
PS. Dd brought home some squash and a lemon cucumber tonight.
Lemon cucumbers are my favorite.
White corn is my favorite corn.
Hi Flassie , I like yellow corn best , with garlic butter. I'll have to try the butter , lime and hot sauce , that sounds good too. I've never tried a lemon cucumber either , bet they are good.
Shadow didn't eat the eggs , he just brought them up in the yard. Those guinea eggs have such a hard shell , they didn't break. I just don't want him disturbing their nesting.

I got the link to the Tasha Tudor BD celebration through One Pretty Thing. I added some book links. There is some books on raising chickens and making chicken coops
at the Tasha Tudor site.
Did you see the pillowcase dress I made?
I am going to see if the library can get me some instructions of three other versions of the dress.
Years ago I cut out instructions
from I think the Family Circle magazine of a Pillowcase dress. I do not have one of the pages though.
God Bless You and Yours!!!
That is so cool that your Mom's BD is the same day as Tasha Tudors!
I added a couple more photos
to the pillowcase dress. I
added ribbon up at the top
backside of the dress. I like
it much better now. Thanks for
the comment about the dress!!
Going to try and finish the
60's mod version today.
Maybe when Shadow gets a little
older he might realize that he
isn't the egg collector of the
family. lol!
God Bless You and Yours!!!
