Well, we can’t complain about not having any rain anymore… I’ve lost track but it’s over 10 inches this month, and showing no signs of stopping through the end of May. I can’t walk in the gardens to pick what’s ripe without rubber boots turning into 30# weights on my feet…
I did pick up a small bit of information the other day though that I thought i’d pass along. I was complaining (again?) about corn worms and a lady told me to put a drop of olive oil on the silk as soon as it appears and the worms won’t get in there. Not sure how that works because they usually drill a hole in the top side of the ear to get in there, but I’m sure going to give it a try.
But, we don’t complain about the rain, just the mud...
