We've got corn and pumpkins!
When Blaine told me that he wanted to grow some corn and pumpkins in our backyard a few months ago, I honestly thought it would never work. I think my lack of faith in his crop growing skills came from my multiple failed attempts at growing fruits and vegetables in my own garden as a child. One would think that with Blaine's dad being a farmer and everything, I would think Blaine knew a thing or two about planting. But, nope, I did not believe that anything would come out of the seeds Blaine's dad sent to start our own corn and pumpkin patch. Boy was I wrong! We have corn stalks taller than 7 feet outside and three pumpkins! I wish I could take some credit for our crop growing success but I would be lying...I have done absolutely nothing with the garden but reap its rewards. Corn straight from your own backyard sure is fresh and tasty! Check out our corn and pumpkin plant:

Ha ha, you are just like me - Mike keeps talking about starting a garden, but I never believe it'll work so I haven't let him! We had mostly failed garden attempts growing up in Washington too! You are inspiring me to want to do one now, because your garden looks amazing!!! Great pics of your trip below, too! How fun! And that's so great the kids travelled well! :)
