Some years are Are more frustrating than others. the problem I am seeing in my corn is major damage from raccoons. i’ve lost dozens and dozens of ear so far. the mice have caused major damage to my tomatoes. Some have even girdled plants! I’m also super frustrated and disgusted about my giant watermelons. I feel like this definitely could’ve been a fantastic unbelievable year for me. all of the crowns are still beautiful and in great shape but the vines are chewed to pieces it’s so frustrating! in my cantaloupes. Mice are eating them too! for every melon I harvest, there’s one I have to throw into the woods. Some years are worse than others. It’s hard to motivate yourself to go out into the steam bath, and forge ahead when it seems, everything is collapsing around you. That’s farming for you. Rant over. By the way the sweet corn pictured is the variety’ incredible’ it’s delicious and so tender!
