This past week New Hampshire experienced serious thunderstorms with high winds. Our corn did not stand up well to the huge gusts. Paul and crew found that most stalks were lying on the ground. So, they caringly and painstakingly worked together to gently right each stalk. Paul said he could hear the sound of roots snapping, even with the gentlest touch. We'll have to see if the plants are stunted. At least they are still alive. We can plan and work as hard as we know how, but we can never control the outcome. Something unexpected may well come along and change our expectations, whether it is fresh corn-on-the cob, or personal hopes and dreams. Here's a photo of our corn, just starting to grow, around early June.
