Ok, it's all about the corn!!!



Our corn is officially ready and we are enjoying it. We see corn fields everywhere in Iowa so it is pretty neat to be able to say we actually grew our own. We planted a few different varieties and our favorite was the Sweet Luscious Bicolor Organic Seed by Botanical Interests. It is so sweet and tender it just melts in your mouth! I have never tasted such fresh corn. I have to say Mario and I have started a new hobby together, gardening. Every night we water our corn and pumpkins and talk. I really look forward to this "alone" time because the kids usually stay in the house playing. Especially now that is has cooled off and the sun is setting by 8:00 instead of 9:45ish. It is so relaxing listening to the insects of late summer and seeing the sun set while we enjoy our garden together. Next year we plan on growing more veggies and it's great bonding time with your spouse!!! ~Amy
