Here is more from the garden. The corn is doing well. I am using a trick that I learned in Ecuador, where I saw choklo being grow. I hill up the dirt around the stalks after they are up. They develop secondary roots and give the plant more stability. I am also letting pole beans grow up the corn.
In the second picture we are getting ready to try our first corn of the season. As you can see it is different than choklo. It is good, but I like choklo better.
We have mucho tomatoes.
Love, Pete
Aquí es más desde el jardín. El maíz está bien. Estoy usando un truco que aprendí en Ecuador, donde vi choklo siendo crecer. Me cuesta arriba la suciedad alrededor de los tallos después de que se arriba. Se desarrollan las raíces secundarias y dar a la planta una mayor estabilidad. También estoy dejando crecer el frijol el maíz.
En la segunda foto nos estamos preparando para probar nuestro primer maíz de la temporada. Como se puede ver que es diferente a choklo. Es bueno, pero me gusta choklo mejor.
Tenemos Mucho tomate.
Amor, Pete
Enclosed are pictures of the recent snowstorm in Nova Scotia at our house. About 16 inches. It is melting now. We thought we had lost Charlie. He went out on the first day of the storm and we didn't see him for 3 days and 2 nights. He apparently crawled under the deck and got snowed in. There is a small hole that he uses to get under. At one point Debbie thought she heard him under the deck, so I dug out a hole to give him a way out. He didn't come out and we never heard him again. We put a bowl of food under and when we checked the next morning he had eaten some. He spent the next day, night and day playing wild animal in his lair, and finally came to the door wanting in on the evening of the 3rd day.
