The Mister pruned one of our trees and while we were cutting up the branches into small pieces to fit in the car to take to the yard waste drop off, our neighbor very kindly offered to throw them and any other yard waste we had in his truck along with his stuff. We took him up on the offer and then went and pulled up a bunch of stuff in the garden to add to the pile
Our 2 cauliflower plants got huge, but didn't actually produce any cauliflowers, and our squash plant gave us a few yellow squashes before giving up. The raspberries are doing poorly. I think we need to find a new place in the yard to plant them. We are giving the carrots more time - I'm hoping for a good harvest but realistically probably not. We got one bug eaten cabbage, a handful of peppers and a meals worth of sprouts. The tomatos are hanging in there - we've never had such a good year for cherry tomatos.
We bought some Chase corn this year to boil and freeze and I decided to try the boil in the husk method -boil in the husk for 5 minutes, cut off the end and the corn slides right out, with no silk on the cob.
Worked like a charm!
