a few ears if the squirrels allow it. The drought hasn't helped either. I have grown sweet corn in my garden 45 years and trust me when I say Ambrosia is the sweetest I ever ate. I will save a few ears for seed next year.

The squirrels have been taking stalks of corn and dragging them over to the picnic table and eating them. If I wasn't so pissed off it would probably be funny. Next time they leave a mess I will try to get a picture of it.
