Friends, countrymen, lend me your ear. Or can I lend you my ear... of corn. Yup, I am pretty sure this isn't a weed. A bunch of these things have popped up in my corn rows. I filled in the gaps with more seeds that I found in the garage of organic sweet corn. I don't recall buying this packet - a donation from Tommy?
I am pretty sure this is a cucumber sprout coming out of the side of the cuke mound. Only one, though, so I planted more on top. I was nervous of the others washing away as the hills were so dry when I planted and the dirt was sliding down the mounds. I thought this with the other stuff too, but there seems to be growth on their mounds.
I am pretty sure this is a zucchini shoot too. There are two on this mound that look the same.
And of course my row of tulips. Still red and proud. Funny what a big difference morning and afternoon sun make. I planted one long row on the north side of the house. One side of the walk is on the east and the other the west. They both seem to get the same amount of sun, but just look at the difference from one side of the walk to the other...West:
East:
These little guys have popped up all around the yard. So pretty. Hoping they will make a ground cover on all my beds instead of mulch.
