Probably sweet corn down there. Priscilla said she wore the camo jacket because the mosquitos are so bad they just bite right through normal clothes. I do love the daisy wreath. Today however, it is so hot in the corn field that even the mosquitoes are laying low.The K.

We are a huge hybrid corn growing county. Our daughter has worked for years as a field inspector. We have our field in field corn this year instead of alfalfa. I miss the hay! Anyway, our corn around here is way beyond knee-high and usually is this time of year. I often wonder if the people who started that saying were referring to sweet corn in gardens?Lori Zehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14487050268259026104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213619845205807543.post-62663328722365485152010-06-23T15:21:03.982-05:002010-06-23T15:21:03.982-05:00Hmmmm, our corn is rarely knee high by the 4th, it...Hmmmm, our corn is rarely knee high by the 4th, it has happened now and again though.
