So Much for the Sweet Corn!

As you may have read a couple of weeks ago, I broke down and got a puppy. As you also know I am trying to grow a garden. The two don't necessarily go hand in hand.

The other day after being down at my grandddads I came home and as ususal upon arrival home I give the garden a once over to see how it is doing. But what do I find in the corn???

The Puppy of coarse and he was laying amongst a pile of torn down corn plants from the 4 rows that we had growing. My yard has tons of trees and there were corn stalks everywhere.
I screamed at the dog, I screamed at my kd, I screamed at my darling hubby. Neighbors came by to see what I was screaming about and I told them all that the dog was damned and for them to look at the terrible damage he had done.

Just at that point out of the corner of my eye I noticed something flutterng in one of my tall pines trees...it was a corn stalk!

How did the corn stalk get in the tree? Those very bad Squirrels did it! The squirrel town that lives in the parrell universe next to ours had crossed over into our realm and stolen the corn.

Poor Gunner. Poor Child. Poor Hubby. I had been so nasty to them about letting the Gunner get into the corn, and all along it was the squirrels. I couldn't believe it!

I went inside to get the camera so I could take a picture of the corn stalk in the pine tree. It took me as few minutes as I got waylay ed with my obsessive compulsive behavior. When I got back outside about 10 minutes later, the corn stalk was GONE!

They had taken the evidence so now I cannot even show you what these monsters did.

I will be borrowing the tiller from himself and transplanting some peppers that I have in spot that is a little too shady and they will be nice late peppers.

I'm also going to sow some collards and more onions, and possibly some turnips and rutabagas.
