I think I will have to try that broccoli too. Like you, we eat what we grow, so look isn't as important as taste. <br /><br />I find it funny that your husband is like mine. He won't eat much out of the garden either. This year he is helping and getting a bit more excited but still not eating much. However he will eat what I can. So I do a lot of preserving.<br /><br />Great harvest!!!<br /><br />http://www.growitathome.wordpress.com<br />JoelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-52485194832209597142012-08-06T19:12:21.068-04:002012-08-06T19:12:21.068-04:00Your corn is gorgeous.Your corn is gorgeous.Adventures in Agriburbiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08597160412036741050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-64970372995633235682012-08-06T18:39:25.760-04:002012-08-06T18:39:25.760-04:00I am loving your corn and basil.

Of course, I'd been keeping mine cut back so that it wouldn't bloom! Next year you might try mixing basil through your garden that is allowed to bloom. She said by putting it in the midst of your other plants, it confuses the pollinators and they'll end up pollinating everything in sight once they get there.<br /><br />Your corn is making my mouth water!Patricia Burroughs aka Pookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000770987295390045noreply@blogger.com
