this i expected

something has been at the bear paw maize...not unexpectedly...the plant in the first photo lost two ears and the one in the third photo had the ear in the fourth on it yesterday..so i brought a few in and , as i expected, the smaller ones were just cobs, the largest one was infested with ants...and even the intact one was immature...not immature enough for squirrels or raccoons seemingly...in other and less disappointing news, the grapes are coming along well and the teoisnte is looking very robust...threw something old in there for scale in the last photo...still waiting for it to flower...still waiting for ears...you hear the yelp if i find any.
