There used to be an adage, "corn should be knee high by the 4th of July." Farming methods have changed that. Better seed, nitrogen additives, etc. This corn is only a few days from being picked. The folks who have this sweet corn plot do 4 plantings of corn. They sell beginning at 3:00 p.m. and sometimes are still picking when I get there and I have to wait. It's a bit more expensive, but the freshness is there.

What a handsome young man. I just read your first sentence and thought I was going to see a man in cowboy boots, wearing Daisy Dukes dancing on the barn roof. ;)

I was thinking it looked like Cousin It. Susan, I love the color of your coneflowers. I haven't seen any that dark red before. Very striking. My picture is an update of my backyard bunny buddy. He is growing up fast.

Gorgeous flowers today. Great gardeners and great photographers. I love this thread. I try not to miss even one day.
