Pretty corn stalks and "hunting" for worms

I was so excited to grow corn this year for the first time ever and bought some heirloom organic bantam sweet corn just to see if I could do it. The stalks are beautiful fall decoration too and apparently that is all it will be because they are tall and majestic and deaf as a post as they have no EARS! Well they look good and give the garden added height and interest even though I wasnt growwing anything in hoping it would all come together like a nice livingroom design....I don't know why they they didnt pollinate because there are bees everywhere and everything else is very well pollinated.
Due to all the rain I haven't had to water in more than a week which is nice and it seems to have a positive effect on the worm situation. Last year we were inundated with very wiggly worms I tried not to cut in half when digging but this year the early "droughty" period must of made them go way deep until now. Night time produced a big crop of night crawlers for fishing. I am eager to replenish my worm composter as well...they are such helpful little creatures and make such wonderful soil.

Home is where .....you drag everyone to look at your garden.

Here at our little homestead the most exciting thing of late is our ever growwing garden and of course the chickens....its peaceful, serene and often reminds me of a lazy flowwing river full of activity under the surface but relaxing just the same.

I am not a "neat" gardener by any stretch of the imagination and tend to let it go were it will until I cant get in to see what's happening. In the beginning there are neat rows, dutifully hoed and weed free and as summer turns up the heat it becomes more "green inbetween" those rows and quite frankly I am okay with it. I have found that certain bugs are more interested in those weeds rather than my plants as well. Kind of makes me wonder if that is the way its supposed to be.
