Well, today we’ll be picking the last of our corn. Once it’s picked, we’ll cream it like we’ve been doing. I’m telling you I don’t know if there’s anything Deb likes better than creamed corn…’cept me maybe!!
After we pick it, we’ll pull it up and take it to the cows. It is so dern dry around here the grass looks as if it’s had a hard frost on it. Seriously, it looks that bad. We’re awful dry, especially for this time of the year.
Matter of fact it’s been so dry around here lately, the trees are bribing the dogs! June starts our rainy season, but for some reason we’re just not getting any rainfall.
We’ve been going to fertilize the pastures for the last month or so, but right this minute there’s just no need. I’m holding off until we see a little rainy pattern start up.
So, with the shape the pastures are in, the cows will enjoy these cornstalks for sure. I usually just turn them into the garden and let ‘em knock themselves out eating, but the limas are still doing pretty fair so we’ll just pull the stalks up, and haul them to the cows. Service with a smile!
Speaking on the garden this morning, our tomatoes are like yours, Sandy. It’s so blame hot it’s just scalding them. Our eggplants we’ll probably pull with the corn today, the heat is so bad they pretty much stay in a wilt, and the eggplants now are soft, even on the vine.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
