maize

out early to campus to do some watering and have a look around at what's up today and there's always quite a bit...starting with sweet corn...it's coming along...quite a few plants are six feet tall or better and at least half a dozen have begun to sprout ears...that's one in the second photo ( with a lady bug on aphid patrol ) and the plant in the third photo is coming out with two ears ( this is sweet corn, not dense yellow #2...nothing odd about multiple ears here )..the bottom photo is of a bean vine that has successfully use the cornstalk as a trellis ( and help recreate a three sisters' guild in one of the beds ) and will be sprouting beans soon enough...there is produce to harvest...stop by.
