Big white cucumber and Pretty white sunflowers

Maybe a bit freaky, but the white really is cool.  There is going to be harvesting of eggplant and the white cucumber this week.  Strawberries are still producing, but they have slowed a bit and gotten smaller.  They are so sweet, yum.

Remember the movie with Tom Hanks where he is a kid in an adults body and he is at the cocktail party and eats the mini corn like corn on the cob?  Well I broke a small corn stalk today and peeled back the little developing ear.  It was just like the mini ones.  Way cool.  It tasted kind of bland.

The fall crops are coming up, well we have germination anyway.  Lettuce, mustard, and spinach.  We will see how they come in, then thin.  I am going to do succession planting for these for sure.

I am so blown away about the sunflowers.  They are doing so well and are so gorgeous.  I really thought they were going to be under performers or had been sparrow micro salad.  I love surprises.

Anyone know a little rain dance?  Remember a little one, not a big one!  ;)
