Dave and Dylan thought it would be fun to plant corn this summer in our backyard. We have an area in the backyard that has no grass because the sprinklers do not reach it, so they thought that would be a perfect place. Here they are planting their corn.
David decided that he would help out. We ended up with some corn stalks not in rows!! Dayna thought that just carrying the seeds around was fun enough.
Here is Dylan showing us the corn that was just starting to sprout.
Dave said the corn was ready for picking. Dylan grabbed a bag and took off. Here is Dave and Dylan choosing which ear to pick.
Of course, only the most difficult ones to reach are the ones that kids choose!!
The kids ate the corn for dinner that night and they all said it was good. The kids thoroughly enjoyed watching the corn grow in the backyard instead of just the fields. We have been watching the choppers and silage trucks for the past week, we wish our corn was going to be removed from the yard that easily. Dave may not want to do it again after he digs these all out!!
