Harvest Time

It's harvest time at my garden plot. After weeks of no rain at all, we have received about two inches in the last week and the vegetables really took off. I was especially worried about the corn which seemed to be stunted even thought I was watering it every other day. The other gardeners tell me there is just no substitute for rain; all vegetables suffer even if they are well watered by hand.

I have yet to cut open the cucumbers, but the corn was eaten almost immediately. It was so sweet and delicious even without butter. I simply placed the cobs in a glass baking dish, put a little water in the bottom, covered it with saran wrap, and microwaved for 7 minutes. Mmmm!
