Our "20 Year Project". We're looking forward to building our brand new garden, year by year, from almost scratch. Apart from a few very small trees, our newly acquired tract is currently only a bare stretch of grass. So starting July 23rd, 2007 when we take possession it's "on with the show" ..... and please come back often and watch us grow!

Our First Corn!
Last night when Mar, Scruff and Ruff went through the garden for a walk, we noticed our first ever corn had sprouted!
I couldn't wait to photograph it this morning.
It is a miniature little guy sporting quite a haircut of fluff.
While our yield will be small at best this fall, the joy in watching our first "crop" grow to maturity is so enjoyable.
As a bonus, the fast-growing corn stalks add a beautiful stretch of green to the expanse of otherwise grey wall that runs along the back of our garden.
Greetings from the Niagara!

We bought 45 plants for $30 on July 10/07.
That has to be the best price anywhere!
She has them growing in her garden, plus has pictures of all, so great way to choose your own.
