Tiny Corn
We picked our first two tiny ears of corn today. One was perfectly ripe and one was not quite. But Ian and Molly loved it!

Tomatoes & Beans
We had an early harvest of tomatoes, thanks to a well timed Miracle Grow application and some early hot weather. Here's Ian with the first tomato of the season.
While he wasn't quite as exuberant about the peas as I thought he would be, he has made up for it in his uninhibited enthusiasm for tomatoes.
The green beans were kind of overshadowed by the peas. While there have been a couple of very thin beans start develop. They've been eaten—by birds or squirrels I think. I put in a few more seeds where the plants hadn't survived the overshadowing of the peas and they came up within a couple of days. So, hopefully I haven't missed bean season and hopefully it's not too hot.
