So, on the Hollyanna Pollyanna note, tonight I roasted a giant shoulder of lamb. I'm sorry, I never had a lamb with a whopping 10 pound shoulder from my farm. Roasted slow for 4 hours it was very yummy. Served with polenta from my own corn and frozen green beans from my own garden...well it sort of made up for all the things that didn't work, all those customers who were dern fools. So I'm thankful for the corn that grew and am already looking forward to the blue corn that I received from NZ last year. And I think like much of you, if it works, great. If it doesn't, oh well, there's always next year. And sometimes... omg I have a crop to feed half the planet.... It's a mystery no? Love you each and every one and every blessing I could throw at you for the season. Oops, didn't mean to smack you upside the head with that blessing.....how about a gentle thwack?

Good for you though my gut tells me that any sheep big enough to have a 10 pound shoulder has reached an age where lambhood has be left behind and you are well into hogget territory.

Sowed some more corn today, some of my AD/se mix saved from last year. I think I might leave it at that for this year. I only need a small patch for eating. The people who I let use my yard have planted a heap of corn and they're moving so I inherit their plantings - lots of corn and beans with a few carrots for good measure.

Despite being less than three weeks away from the summer solstice nights are still dropping to 4 or 5°C. This is really slowing the corn down here.

Filled the last blank spots, two seeds per hole. The rest of the bed will be sown to beans, carrots and tomatoes. Actually, the tomatoes are already in, some Barossa Moon x Sun Gold F2 (looking for a tasty dwarf cherry).
