No, I don't mean anything naughty by that, I mean CORN SILK!  That means corn on the way, baby! 

I have developed this little habit of staring out the window at the corn when I think (soon to become staring out the upstairs window at Mt. Rainier) and today happened to actually FOCUS while looking at it and saw, yeppers, CORN SILK.  (Or would that be cornsilk?  Can we get a spellchecker here please???) 

Two lovely little handfuls of cornsilk (I think I like that way best, don't you?) are peeking out of one of the cornstalks, about halfway down the plant.  WOOHOO! 

Pulled 3 little grape tomatoes off the plant, have an eggplant I have to figure out how to harvest (do you cut them off? pull them off?  HELP!), and another one forming.  There are 3 spaghetti squash that look about done (those I know to cut off, thanks though) and the zuchini are setting up more blossoms.  Get this...yesterday I received the new issue of Organic Style and they have a recipe for Squash Blossom Saffron Rice.  I think I NEED to try that.  (That and using the blossoms will mean I'm not swamped with more zuchini later this week.  Have any of you noticed those are the hardest thing on earth, after fruitcake, to get rid of???) 

But the primo of it all...CANTALOUPE.  I can see several little melons forming.  And the peas are blooming.  YEEHAW.  Y'all.  Ya'll.  WHATEVER.  YEAH BABY!  The garden is not only surviving but thriving.  So to speak.  *dancing around the room*  I didn't kill anything yet!  (That's not counting the romaine that didn't germinate, okay...let's not go there.)
