I didn't make sleeves to cover the ears, I just tore up an old piece of Agribon rowcover fabric and wrapped each ear with a piece secured with some garden twine. Then I figured out that the rats like to Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-36518370842385053342016-11-11T01:24:03.397-08:002016-11-11T01:24:03.397-08:00Michelle your carrots look superb and that corn is...Michelle your carrots look superb and that corn is just amazing. Do you store it as dried grains? We also have a problem with rats eating the ears before we get to pick them and your idea of covering them with cloth is interesting ... do you make it into sleeves to tie on?<br />Kathy (sorry this comes up as anonymous but it seems the only way I can make a comment!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-14539636726814716252016-11-07T16:53:56.878-08:002016-11-07T16:53:56.878-08:00I ditto all the corn comments.. it's just so p...I ditto all the corn comments.. it's just so pretty! That's a shame about the the sowbugs, I've never had them attack winter squash before. I have had a problem with them and strawberries in the past. And dealing with the rate has got to be a pain too.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00193278804750154921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-70860904755335275832016-11-07T15:33:16.175-08:002016-11-07T15:33:16.175-08:00I'm another sweet corn admirer - it's beau...I'm another sweet corn admirer - it's beautiful and the rest of your harvest is tremendous.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-11694854888099123512016-11-07T11:41:09.109-08:002016-11-07T11:41:09.109-08:00That corn is really stunning!

Despite their 'good bug' reputation they can do a lot of damage in the garden, though the winter squash does seem like an odd target.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-84078228638071543552016-11-07T10:25:21.824-08:002016-11-07T10:25:21.824-08:00I agree with Margaret - that corn is stunning!

I had exactly zero harvest of Beira Tronchuda this year - it was tucked in behind the kale and hardly got any sun so it never had a chance, I suppose. I'll have to find it a better spot next year.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.com
