Corn Down

We came home from participating in the Burley Lions Spudman Triathlon to a huge windstorm. When we got up this morning, most of the corn was down. The wind had snapped several of the stalks and pushed most of the rest to the ground. I went out and pulled some of them back up, but I don’t think they’ll make it. At this point we’ll be lucky to get any corn this year. What a shame.

Next year we’ll plant all the corn together, so the outer rows can protect the inner rows. I’m not sure how much protection that will give it, but it should help with the pollination process.

Charmaine is in San Diego this week, and she took the camera with her, so I have no pictures. In fact, I won’t be able to take the week 11 photos on Thursday either. Oh well. I’m not all that upset about not having a picture of this destruction.
