It may not look like much, but hey, it s been a long dry spell, and beggars can t be choosers. But, the August rains we have enjoyed the last couple days have changed that, somewhat. Every spring and fall we put the bedding from the barn floor on a different section of the garden. Since bedding can use up a lot of nitrogen as it breaks down, we can only plant in that area, if the bedding is sufficiently broken down. My husband looked at the corn this morning and asked whether it would make good ears before frost.
