Thank you Wisher, chickadoodles and everyone else for the kind words and prayers. Because of the rough road he had last time with the surgery and long rehab/recovery, (memory loss, personality change-not for the better) and he was just finally getting back to being Yogi again. we are honestly praying for the best and preparing ourselves for the worst. My poor hubby. He and his brother Yogi were always a lot closer than the other 2 boys were (one, the oldest has been gone for a couple years now).

Corn. What gives?
I admit I haven't raised what we used to call 'field corn' or 'horse corn' for many decades but I'm a bit stumped.
My wife and daughter brought corn seed from the Elephant sanctuary in Thailand. I planted some figuring it might be non-GMO.
It is now 11 feet tall and doesn't seem to be trying to go to seed. There's not a hint of an ear starting nor any tassling.
At this rate, compared to other corn I've grown, it will be 15-20' before it puts out ears.
I guess this is Thai elephant corn.
The sanctuary gave packets of seed with the message to grow this seed and bring corn back to feed the elephants. I think I'll need an elephant to pick it.

I remember people on Cat Island in the Bahamas harvesting corn from scrawny stalks that were about 3' tall.

Bahahaha, I don't even have to see it to imagine you out picking it.

On a different note, I found a fragment of shed snake skin in the workshop yesterday. It had stripes - Green Rat Snake, by the look of it. Anybody know how long it would take a snake to slither 10 miles?

I don't think it's the same snake. My guess would be sibling rat snakes.... Like there was a family that hatched and grew up in the area.

OK, OK, I'm trying to just quietly lurk and get caught up but I just can't let this go by!!!! Sorry

What's long and green and slimy and goes a hundred miles an hour????

A SNAKE IN A BLENDER!
