children of the corn

this year, we couldn't decide on a garden plot, so we planted veggies in our flower beds around our deck and in the flower pots on the deck. (at this point, is anyone wondering why there aren't flowers in our flower beds and pots? the answer is: at some point in the near future we will have to replace the deck and i didn't want established flower beds trampled during that effort. doesn't that sound nicer than i was too lazy to plant flowers?) anyhoo, even though we got a late start, the corn is now tassled and little baby ears of corn are showing their silken heads! we also have several green tomatoes and the pumpkins and peppers are flowering!
it's enough to inspire brotherly love.


i love their stair-stepper heights here.

i'm hoping the kids will be more open to eating veggies we have grown ourselves. i'll keep you posted as we test this theory.
