We've been feeding the squirrels field corn for about a year, trying to keep them out of the birdfeeders. This spring we noticed that they'd been doing a bit of gardening. The corn that sprouts in the lawn gets mowed but we kept the corn they planted in the garden. Look! We've got two ears on one stalk, tasselled out and everything! (Click to embiggen)
I'm standing right behind the cornstalk with the ears on it. I also thought
you might enjoy seeing the proud Durwood, or as I like to call him this time of year, Tomato Boy. His diet consists almost entirely of homegrown tomatoes, salt, and Sunny Hill Farms sweet corn these days. And butter for the corn, of course.
