Leigh’s Silver Queen

What a marvelous year so far. I’m still alive in spite of the fact that I’ve been staying away from VAMCs. I had no idea there were chemtrails- or is it Chemtrails? How can the Government afford to spray my garden and fertilize my corn for me? How long have I been missing out on this? Do you have to apply somewhere to get on the Spray List? Is this part of the Affordable Care Act? Do they put Fluoride in it? All these queshuns. Who cares? Sprinkle some of it on and what do you get? Well, 9 foot corn unless I miss my guess. Either that or the Silver Queen that Leigh and Paul sent me is from the legendary Jack and the Bean Stalk stash. 

Check out the Fe Fi Fo Fum butternut. The thing is like a plant possessed. It escaped the reservation back in May. I got it from a penniless Japanese farmer who was evacuated out of the Fukushima district after the scientists spilled some of the atoms they were bending. I cheated a little bit by starting her in the greenhouse in February and it was the only seed that clicked under the Geiger counter. Whoa, there Mr. C. Theorist. Just kidding. No trails, no radiation. Joke. Toy gun. Not the same plant.

As for the pumpkins, my little Cupcake chose the seeds this year.  Yes, apparently, you can accessorize with pumpkins, too. Really. That VW celery color is soooo last year, dear. I had no idea. How on earth did I ever do without all these colors for all these years? The reason there aren’t more colors is because I gave away about 20 plants. I didn’t catch the “mixed seeds blend” in small print on the package until the weird things started growing. As if I didn’t have enough to do, the vines now need to be “crossed over” so the colors are intermixed while they grow. To “integrate” them. In the verb form. Seriously. Cupcake always has such interesting ideas on growing. Just think how excited she’ll be next year with even more colors! A man’s got to know his limitations and exploit his weaknesses.

Check out the “chematoes”. There are six in that cluster and they’re huge.   In retrospect,, I should have seen this color thing coming last year with the tomatoes. We now do six colors so the salads are “more balanced and  accessorized”. Surely you can see that.  You can have good taste in colors but not the reverse. I never knew I needed that.

I expect I’m one up on her. Six flavors of corn. And I’m learning from the unfortunate situations of others. I’ve integrated it all together this year (mislabeled). Cupcake calls me the “Accidental Gardener” since the romaine came up with the sugar snap peas in the same bed last spring. Seed happens.

Okay. Just so we’re straight. No aliens. No chemicals. No radiation. Right? All the corn is straight. It’s just incredibly tall. Trust me.
